Does anyone actually believe that Boris didn't knowingly break the rules?

[BlueBloodedBlue]

Other than his cronies (and even they can't really believe it!)

No. Don't believe a word he says.

Nor.

I don't think anyone can really believe it, can they? I understand why people might say they believe him.

I mean nope 🙄

No - don’t believe anything he says

He’d have a better chance of convincing us if he hadn’t done all those TV broadcasts explaining the rules and telling us not to socialise with people we don’t live with…

Of course not. I have no idea how he keeps a straight face while spouting this crap. Beth Rigby was actually mocking him while interviewing him today.

I don't think he thought 'I know its against the rules but let's have a party'. I think he just didn't even consider the question which in some ways is worse.

No. He makes the rules. How the fuck can be not know what rules he makes?

Nope.

I don't like him and don't trust him

However. I can believe that he waltzes through life with no consideration at all as to whether the situation is ok. I am quite confident that he doesn't question for one moment anything an aid has written in his diary, or any opportunity he comes across to have fun.

This I can believe that he didn't even wonder in passing whether it was a legal gathering.

He'll have been travelling around, meeting people, being out and about in a way the rest of us were not. It won't have even crossed his mind.

I mean he’s either a liar or he’s so phenomenally stupid he didn’t understand the rules that he created. My money’s on liar, but either way he’s not fit to be leader.

I think there are three possible Interpretation. Either he's a liar or a fool or stunningly incompetent.

Whichever it is, any of those reasons are grounds to get rid of him

No.

Well, there's 2 options. Either he is lying through his teeth, or he is so stupid and oblivious that he really shouldn't be running the country. Either way, it's not great.

No.

Of course not.

No but there are lots of quiet Tories who don’t care.

How does he think he can justify telling people the rules but not knowing what they are?

He is a liar but even so doesn’t he realise that ignorance is no excuse?

I laughed so much on the If only someone had told me I was breaking the rules little sad boy face I’m the PM I’m not capable of making a judgment, he can’t win either way. Not unless the REAL BORIS is found locked in freezer like mad eye moody in Harry Potter and a poly juice Boris has been at it the last 2y…….

He's both a stupid gormless prat and a liar.

He thinks the rest of the country are more stupid and gormless than him. He honestly believes people will believe him

@ENoeuf

No but there are lots of quiet Tories who don’t care.

I don't really care. BJ should resign and let's appoint someone competent Focussing on 'parties' will not bring anyone back to life.

I'd be astonished if he was paying enough attention to know there were rules. I always imagine as soon as the words leave his mouth at a press conference they also leave his head.

No. If he wouldn’t be prime minister if he wasn’t capable of understanding the rules that he dictated to the rest of the country. So since stupidity is the only excuse and one he can’t use, the only other option is being a liar.
