Reminder of what the Met told us on 20th May 2020

Have you been enjoying the hottest day of the year so far? 🌞

It is important that we all continue to #StayAlert

You can relax, have a picnic, exercise or play sport, as long as you are:

➡️ On your own
➡️ With people you live with
➡️ Just you and one other person

"The Met has said it will make no public update on the number of fines issued until after the local elections, but Downing Street, has stated it will still declare whether the Prime Minister receives further fines in the lead up to polling day"

So how do you know there's just been one FPN?

Unfortunately we have to be patient and wait. The press reporting indicates BJ will receive one.

Is it possible to #stayalert if one has been boozing in the garden?

'they get an idea in their head can be fixated by it and finds it hard to consider other viewpoints as their one idea excludes all others'

Indeed this is true of all the 'Bozo must go!!' threads isn't it. Posters gripping tightly onto the blinkered hope that Starmer and the mainstream media will get rid of pesky, brexity BJ for them.

Other viewpoints should be considered, I do it all the time but then come back to the conclusion I'm always right Grin.

Yes but it's so dragged out isn't it. Again, they miss the boat impact wise with the dithering.

Roussette · 23/04/2022 14:20

Good grief, you sound like you want them to hurry up for maximum impact!

Personally, I want them to drag it out to 5th May and after because it isn't going away.

We need a new thread shortly, we need to keep the momentum up!

Way back when Sue Gray first was about to report there was some speculation about whether she had actually been told about all the parties as Boris had undertaken to.
So by hurrying it all up, that comes back into play.
Cummings has been quietly bidding his time.

Roussette · 23/04/2022 14:27

Well.... I just read he certainly went to another 6 or 7. Could be interesting...

That is your fixed idea.

That those who want BJ to go ate because they support Labour, Starmer or are persuaded by the MSM.

I actually voted for BJ because despite all we knew I believed he would get Brexit done and had the clearest vision for our country.

Very unusual for someone who works in education to vote Tory!

But my mind has been made up by nothing and no one but BJ himself. Mine was made up when he started fucking over teachers and education staff with his games against Starmer by lying about what unions were saying because it's a game to him. When he made no effort to even try and sort out education and just used it as a pawn in his game.

I didn't even know at this point about the parties he was having whilst we worked extra hours teaching online, in classrooms in bubbles and not even being allowed to use our staff rooms (government guidance).

The parties were a final nail in the coffin for me.

and ps. None of my school reports ever said I thought I was better than every else.

It certainly suits some commentators to believe that Johnson is being brought down by Labour. It is easier to swallow that than acknowledge that he's brought this on himself - and that it was always going to end this way.

Charisma 🙄 or political jazz hands will only sustain you so far - at some point you have to show what you represent and Johnson doesn't have the necessary substance or conviction.

Isn't it a delight to watch Big Dog being crushed by the weight of his own ego.

The drip approach is far better, drags it out for ages so we have time to properly digest it.

itsgettingweird · 23/04/2022 17:32

I think the drip effect is what's causing Johnson to hang himself more.

He has time to dig further holes and make further untrue claims because it's not being let go of inbetween!

Totally agree. If he’s getting tetchy now just imagine what he’ll be like in a few weeks. I envisage him erupting like Vesuvius in an interview and showing the world exactly what he’s like.

I don't think he was really that tetchy in the interview in India.
I mean it cannot be nice for him to be interviewed by a woman anyway, but at least he knows what one is.

ClaudineClare · 23/04/2022 17:52

I think this might well happen (probably when he is being interviewed by a woman).

ClaudineClare · 23/04/2022 17:55

Yes, he knows what a woman is alright. A person you shag, possibly have a child with, cheat on and then abandon.

Really it is most unreasonable of woman to expect anything else of him.
Do they not know what a Boris is?

I live in a divided household. DH thinks the Govt are bottom feeders. DS thinks Keir Starmer is a cunt (his words) due to his lockdown utterances.

No the people who need to get rid of Johnson are his colleagues. I think the rest of the HOP are in agreement that the disingenuous charlatan has to go. His actions and leadership have brought the House (and his party) into disrepute. The public see Johnson as a liar and a cheat & no-one can trust what he says - how can we have someone run the country in those circumstances? The Tory MPs need to have a long hard think about how the public are going to view them because of this - it's their jobs on the line - serves them right if they lose them through not ousting the chancer.

DuncinToffee · 23/04/2022 23:48

Johnson knows what a woman is, just look at the mail on Sunday Angry

You see all those female MPs and journalists tweeting their rage at this story? It’s because nearly every single one of us has experienced something like this in the course of doing our jobs - often repeatedly - and we are utterly, utterly sick of it.

Has anyone watched "Anatomy of a Scandal"? It's clearly directed at the Cameron government, but there are distinct echoes of this one.

I am thinking of saving this and posting it everytime we have " but Boris knows what a woman is".
