A Political Thread pt. 2

Well one of his own MPs has told him to sod off. Peter Bone hilarious out of touch as usual.

Amusing watching the backbenchers say 'bah this fine is nothing' and Johnson having to say 'I disagree and apologise'. You know he agrees with them but know he can't say it aloud.

It's mad that Boris Johnson keeps on using the Corbyn line. It's as if he's living rent free in his head.

Its all they have the public hated the Independent MP from Islington North but they don't actually mind Starmer (mainly because he's nothing exciting to get hepped up about). Same about getting Brexit done, Vaccine rollout and blaming the previous Labour government of over 12 year ago.

There nothing in the present they have to fight that their swing voters have an issue with so they can only attack the past.

I think this is what he's referring to

I really think I will lose my **** with the next person who tries to play down yet more Tory corruption, lies, lack of integrity and systematic destruction of trust in government and the rule of law as "just like a speeding ticket" or "just a cake". No it ******* isn't and you either know it isn't and are being intentionally obtuse or you are just so partisan you have lost any objectivity. Had Johnson held his hands up and admitted he made a mistake and was wrong, had Cummings admitted he had disregarded the law, had the Tories EVER actually owned up before there was no way they could continue denying then maybe this would have all blown over. It's not the crimes that are the real issue, it's the constant lying and complete lack of integrity all through the Tory party. They have been ******** all over the guidance, rules, regulations, procedures and laws and facing next to no consequence for doing so. THAT is the problem.

If you don't think it is a problem, just remember; when a child is not disciplined they will continue pushing the boundaries to more and more extreme naughty actions until the small naughtiness becomes serious issues. Johnson and the Tories are those naughty children. They are facing no consequences for their actions and if you think they will stop breaking the law and crapping all over common decency of their own accord, you are deluded. Johnson's apology contains NOTHING, he is sorry he was caught and nothing else. He is sorry HE has been inconvenienced by this, that is all.

Finally got a tesponse from my MP gone for kicking the can down the road.

Thank you for your email.

I am very disappointed that the Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer and other Downing Street staff were found by the Metropolitan Police to have broken lockdown rules and were served with fines.

I do not condone the breaking of the rules. In 2020, due to these rules, I was unable to visit my own father as he lay in hospital fighting for his life, which was threatened and ended by his catching Coronavirus. After his funeral, which was attended by just six of us, I was unable to spend time with my sister, again due to the rules, and she was similarly affected. We were therefore unable to begin the normal grieving process. So I completely empathise with those who suffered in a similar way.

Where necessary in the past, I have been prepared to try to remove a leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. In 2018, I submitted a letter of no confidence in the (then) leader, Theresa May, and publicly called for her to resign. I was a part of a team which eventually did bring about her resignation, and I will not shy away from doing so with the current leader if and when I feel it is necessary.

At the moment, though - and this is just for the moment – we do not know the full extent of the possible breaches of the rules. The Metropolitan Police have not completed their investigations, and it may be that there are more fines to come. Similarly, we have not yet received a full, unredacted report from Sue Gray, and, again, until this is finalised, we do not know the full extent of the wrongdoing.

For these reasons, I feel that the vote tomorrow is premature. The subject matter being considered tomorrow is not which rules were broken, but whether or not the Prime Minister knowingly misled the House of Commons about the events which allegedly took place and whether this matter should be referred to the relevant Commons committee. Without knowledge of the events which did take place, we cannot yet make a concrete judgement.

For the record, I did not attend any events at Downing Street during the relevant period, nor can I expect any preferment from the Prime Minister regardless of which way I vote. It is, of course, in my interest as an elected politician to have as the leader of my Party someone who is respected by the public. On this point, I have received many communications both for and against Boris Johnson, and I will take a final judgement once I have received the full evidence.

Thank you for writing to me. Your views are certainly being taken into account.

Just had my carbon copy of the cop-out as well.
He's decided that law and order don't really apply, so long as the breach is minor, and that misleading parliament is no big deal in principal.

As for making a concrete judgement - he's been found guilty by the Met, and admitted his guilt in parliament. His guilt is beyond doubt at this point.

Hold it to him if the exact breeches are disclosed/confirmed in Grey's report.

We know that Bojo poured drinks at the November 2020 party for one of his advisors leaving do.

Had a similar letter when I wrote to my MP about Castlegate.

Out letter on that was VERY different - aghast at any hint of rule breaking, even the appearance of it and even though technically no laws appeared to have been breached - as a government advisor, Cummings had to obey the spirit of the law, not just the letter, etc etc

 

[Gavin]

PMQs was embarrassing..

Boris rolling out the Corbyn line and claiming Starmer is a Corbynista in a suit.

And as expected Jimmy Saville is trending on Twitter, usually from Conservative supporters

Yeh mine one he defended Cummings by saying he had a child IIRC? WTF?!! -loads of peeps have children and stuck to the rules. My MP is in the cabinet as well.

Meanwhile my MP has just ignored my correspondence yet again and I'm not the only one. Saqib Bhatti simply doesn't give a **** about responding to his constituents.
