Johnson is putting off publishing before the election, but if there is nothing to hide why not publish?
Surely, it's important in a transparent democracy to know the facts?

I think it should but it won't be.

If it's not published by Wednesday, no chance as the pre-election period will have begun.

Mr Johnson and facts are not usually something associated in the same sentence. I hope the electorate of Uxbridge and South Ruislip deny him the opportunity to publish after December 12th as well.

He won't because it obviously shows he was in it up to his eyeballs.

Our democracy has been compromised. And no one seems to really care in the general population.

It'll be far too late after the election.

Theworldisfullofgs · 04/11/2019 19:26

There was some talk he was moving constituency...

Of course he should, and of course he won’t. Angry

AnUnderstandableNamechange · 04/11/2019 19:29

I hope someone leaks it. Everything else gets leaked.

Marcipex · 04/11/2019 19:30

Why is this allowed? It’s disgraceful.

otterturk · 04/11/2019 19:31

Leave Boris alone

Monst3ra · 04/11/2019 19:34

Leave Boris alone

Poor lamb being picked on.

TheABC · 04/11/2019 19:38

Either it gets published in the next few days, allowing the Tories to spin or distract people away from it. Or else it's going to be leaked at a time to cause them maximum damage during the campaign.

Theworldisfullofgs · 04/11/2019 19:53

The latter might be better

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2019 19:59

Oh, your thread with the voting got zapped as a duplicate.

YANBU at all.

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2019 20:02

Leave Boris alone

on a desert island?

Theworldisfullofgs · 04/11/2019 20:04

Sorry PerkingFaintly technical hitch.

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2019 20:05

I get to say YANBU twice, though.Smile Which is how I feel.

Theworldisfullofgs · 04/11/2019 20:05

I think complete transparency is really important if we want to be a functioning democracy.

ZandathePanda · 04/11/2019 20:09

Otterturk did you punctuate that correctly?

Leave = Boris alone

isithotinhereorisitjustme · 04/11/2019 20:10

Of course it should, but of course it won't be.

Cinammoncake · 04/11/2019 20:11

YANBU

titchy · 04/11/2019 20:12

Leave Boris alone

Did you missed the last word - Leave Boris a lone MP?

nobodyimportant · 04/11/2019 21:20

YANBU, of course he should, and the fact that he won't speaks volumes.

PerkingFaintly · 04/11/2019 21:55

Eat shoot and leave. Boris alone.

Surely there's a next line?

Theworldisfullofgs · 04/11/2019 22:10

I thought Eat, shoots and leaves is what Boris does mostly...
