Another Bloody Downing Street party

[JustJam4Tea]

So hours after telling us to only meet one other person outside from a different household 100 invited to Downing Street BYO in the garden.

It was unlawful to mix outside. If my employer had invited 100 staff to a garden party we’d have all been arrested.

The prime minister did not see or receive the email inviting staff to "socially distanced drinks" on 20 May 2020, his press secretary has told reporters - nor did he tell him to send it.

😂😂

How often do you invite 100 folk for a party at your boss's house and try to hide it from them?

Regardless of a pathetic attempt to claim the PM wasn't aware of a gathering being organised in his property, he has admitted he attended the fucking gathering

**In April energy prices will go up and so will national insurance contributions. Most working families will be 2 grand a year worse off. That’s with energy prices doubling and NI increases.
There doesn’t seem that much concern for that now and what is Keir Starmer doing about it?

He’s not in charge, what’s Boris Johnson doing about it?

It’s Boris Johnsons government that’s increasing NI. It’s the job of Labour who are supposed to oppose working class people being made worse off by this increase.

Are we really being asked to believe that Johnson didn't know what his PPS was doing?

Perhaps we could ask also if Oliver Dowden went rogue and just decided to hold a press conference of his own bat and made a few rules up.

[quote JesusInTheCabbageVan]@SerendipityJane I think it's perfectly reasonable to doubt anything that comes out of BJ's mouth , in the circumstances.

However, a couple of the doctors who treated him have confirmed this publicly, I believe. I also think that - given the twat was bragging about shaking hands with Covid patients and wandering round hospitals unmasked during the first peak - it would have been a miracle if he hadn't caught it.

Occam's Razor, in my view. He did have it. He was really ill. He was happy to hold this party so soon afterwards because HE was protected (immunity) and genuinely didn't give a shit if anyone else died.[/quote]
Nobody has suggested that Johnson held the party. It was apparently organised by Martin Reynolds, principally for his fellow civil servants.

The Johnsons don't live at No.10. Behind the narrow entrance, No.10 Downing Street is basically an office block for some 200 civil servants.

Seems like a press stripped of any motivation to examine nuance - and the public it created - doesn't give two shits.

What a shame.

It would be justice indeed if party held in Boris Johnsons back passage started trending on Twitter.

Bots - do your job

200 you say?

Wouldn't you be gutted if you were in the half of the civil servants who were there who were not invited to the shindig with Boris, or were they invited on a different evening?

He has admitted he was there , regardless of where the venue was. After saying that ' none of the rules were broken ' and having to get someone else to find out if he was there or not !
Yet people still defend them.
It is unreal

Pippa Crerar just tweeted
Top ministers circling the wagons round Boris Johnson, after the PM, Sajid Javid and Nadhim Zahawi toured the tea rooms trying to rally Tory MPs. Full operation underway.

Tory bots are go

I think what shocked me more was people commenting on the Jeremy Vine show earlier still saying he was doing a good job and that the rules were 'only guidelines'. I sincerely hope they were being sarcastic but somehow doubt it.

@Florianus

I believe the garden is shared between the flat-dwellers in Nos. 10 and 11.

Dorries, Patel and Gove have sent their support.

What absolutely disgusted me during today's PMQs was when Boris suggested that thanks to the Government the vaccine drive has been so successful at vaccinating and protecting so many people. No, thanks to the NHS workers and volunteers.

@DuncinToffee

Will be interesting to see if they also sent their RSVP

or brought their own bottle

The excuse for the Johnsons attending the cheese and wine do was that it was in their garden.

What? What's the relevance of this statement?

I was referring to restrictions such as this -

April 2020
allowing families to visit dying relatives in NI presented "too significant a risk" at the moment.

Earlier First Minister Arlene Foster had said she hoped Mr Swann could make an announcement that mirrored new arrangements in England.

Sunak lives at No 10 the Johnsons at No 11 but the garden is half an acre shared between the two.

@the80sweregreat

The news about Prince Andrew has toppled all the talk our PM. I'm sure the devil looks out for BJ at times.

A very good dead cat, isn't it?

You made me spit my tea over my laptop!

Now come on, be fair. If a whole crowd of people came and started partying in your back garden, wouldn't you want to go and join them?

Your point is that Mr Shannon followed the law set in his own country, but Johnson couldn't follow the laws that he himself was involved in setting?

Scottish Conservatives' position coming from leader (Douglas Ross) is that Boris Johnson should now resign. I recall Ruth Davison (former leader) saying similar last night, that if BJ admitted he attended the drinks party on 20th May 2020 then he must go.

@VikingOnTheFridge

He did look dog fucking rough just before they announced he had it tbf.

He didn't look too perky today either. Maybe he's got it again.
