foxile5 Posted 28 January 2022 Share Posted 28 January 2022 Yet another sickening miscarriage or evasion of justice. There are poor students out there who started life with £10,000 fines for the very same offence that the police are letting these clowns off with. When WILL they be held to account? What's the next crime they can get away with? Or the one after that? To implement and uphold laws you must be MORE accountable to them than the general public, not less. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This government has a very Trump-like feel to it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HighPeakFox Posted 28 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 28 January 2022 I've said it before, I'll say it again. This has been coming all my lifetime, the Tory party has always itched to get further right and be above the law. If you vote for this lot, it doesn't make you as bad as them, but I'd really advise long contemplation over your quality of thought process and decision making. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sampson Posted 28 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 28 January 2022 (edited) If Russia or China did something like this, the Western world would be screaming authoritarianist corruption and threatening economic sanctions. Even if you like Johnson or his policies, how can you not see that there are clear deliberate attempts under the Johnson government to erode away the systems that make democracy function, instead of just parroting "what's the alternative?" or "all politicians are the same" or "it just shows how corrupt all politicians and all political parties are in general" with shit like this alongside shit like the The Nationality and Crime bills, when the answer to that is absolutely anyone who believes the basic systems and balances that govern democracy are still worth upholding is an alternative. Honestly, this country's reputation must be at its lowest since the Suez Crisis right now. Edited 28 January 2022 by Sampson 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I think people shouldn't claim one party is the right or correct one to vote for when it comes to politics but will make an exception in this occasion. Johnson and his cabinet have shown themselves time and time again to be utterly morally bankrupt, corrupt and not have the good of the country are heart and anybody that wants to keep him in power does need their head checking. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lots of friends that vote Tory, and they're fantastic people. Likewise, I know plenty of people that vote as I do, and they're awful people. Sadly, there are enough people out there who look at these absolute weapons and think 'yup, I like my cake and eat it too, they're twats, just like me and now I'm justified'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can respect this bunch of clowns is beyond me. Unless your an ends always justify the means person and if so, probably beyond help! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 28 January 2022 Share Posted 28 January 2022 What you have to remember is if this worm is still in charge come the next general election a large proportion of print and visual media will be pushing heavily for a tory government for the same reason they (more often than not) always have, because bigots own the media. It'll be a long slog of absolutely bashing Starmer and painting Boris as the right man for the job, and you'd be surprised how quick people are to forget, coupled with the media tapping in to people's prejudices. They'd comfortably win the next general election, I fear. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people have already forgotten about JRM lying to the Queen about proroguing parliament or even the cover up for Owen Paterson (who resigned) or Priti Patel's bullying (she obviously didn't). Completely agree that they're kicking this as far down the road so that people will be saying how great they are for the extra bank holiday this year and it was all a storm in a tea cup. It's depressingly predictable that this turd won't be flushed and we'll be seeing him for the next 7 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 28 January 2022 Share Posted 28 January 2022 (edited) "Gray’s team had been considering sending a redacted version of the report to No 10 or waiting for the Met to conclude its inquiry and then sending the full report. On Friday night, they decided to send a redacted version, at the request of the Met, and are not believed to be intending to submit anything further to Downing Street" From The Guardian - and there we go, what a ****ing surprise! A heavily redacted report and nothing further. Followed by the MET quietly dropping there case in a few weeks time no doubt. Complete and utter stitch up from the start.
