nnfox Posted 18 January 2022 Share Posted 18 January 2022 1 hour ago, Facecloth said: The question Beth Rigby asks him about if he'll resign if he's proven the have broken the rules and lied to parliament about it, and he responds with his new catchphrase "We'll have to wait for the result of Sue Grays inquiry." That's the point of the inquiry you clown. She asking if that's the outcome, will you do the right thing and resign. Says to me, no matter what the result is he'll be worming his way of resigning. 1 hour ago, Scotch said: What that translates to is... "let's see how much I get caught for and how it's worded and ill have a think about how I'll lie my way out of it" It was a good question to him. He's the one person that knows exactly how much he knows. The fact that he didn't respond with "I absolutely, in no way, mislead Parliament and I welcome the inquiry so that we can get to the truth of the matter" means he knows he's done.

Hasn't he been shown to "economical with the truth" before and was dismissed from his position at the time. How can he not have known about the restrictions and gone ahead with the party. He's the leader of the country. There's no way I can accept he was ignorant of the rules. IMO he used it as a "networking" event in order to promote himself. That said, what about the others that wee there? They aren't being brought into question. If they're involved in Gov circles, surely they must have known the rules too?

Yes. There are plenty of others out there including MPs and journos who have held gatherings far worse than a few staff having drinks in a garden, but most people stuck to the rules. There is a certain hypocrisy in all of this, but he is the Prime Minister. He set the rules and he should lead the country by example. When he got wind of the "work event", he should have emailed everyone on the list and told them straight that under no circumstances was it going to take place and if anybody disagreed, then he'd be happy to talk with them one to one and explain exactly why it wasn't going to happen. He didn't, he acquiesced, and now he's toast. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oxlong Posted 18 January 2022 Share Posted 18 January 2022 Ghana's foreign ministry mentions 'Operation Dead Meat' in statement This is quite an unfortunate typo. The Ghanian foreign ministry has referred to the reported plans to save Boris Johnson as "Operation Dead Meat", rather than "Operation Red Meat" (referring to "red meat" policies being thrown to voters). Ghana had been denying reports of plans drawn up by the UK to send migrants to countries such as Ghana for resettlement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a distraction the home office have leaked to the press that they're going to bribe African countries to allow us to create a processing centre for asylum seekers, which would firstly never happen and b is a clear diversionary, like the BBC issue too. Tomorrow woke-ism and cancel culture will probably appear in the news again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, but Boris has reached the point where his credibility is so low he is damaging. The only question is when they pull the trigger. Labour are going to find that shooting at Boris only helps you until Boris goes. My money is on Hunt, as I think Sunak is too soon and too close to Boris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he sort Brexit though? He said he had an "oven ready deal" which he then disagreed with despite supposedly writing himself. He promised various things as part of that deal, including on NI and didn't deliver. Sure we're out, but not in the way he implied we would be. I can't stand the guy, but I'll concede Covid will have hampered any government delivering on all election promises, but he's still gone back on numerous ones. It's one thing not to get something done during your time in power, that's forgivable especially during a time of crisis, but to openly u turn on various promises, like the HS2 in the North or the no rises in Tax and NI, or the building of a certain number of houses or hospitals, that's unforgivable. He's not just not done them, he's admitted he won't ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 19 January 2022 Share Posted 19 January 2022 I always feel when a prime minister steps down or forced there should automatically be a general election. Allow the public to choose who they want. Not the party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
