AIBU to think that Boris should resign now?

[Seemslikeagoodidea]

Today it has been revealed that in May 2020 invitations were emailed to (allegedly) 100 Downing Street staff, for a garden party. This party happened during the first lockdown, when many people could not visit their elderly relatives, even on their death beds, due to the lockdown rules. The email was sent by one of the PM's top people, and stated that people should "bring their own booze and enjoy the sunshine". Today Boris has been conspicuous by his absence.

I think this is the final straw and shows a lack of judgement and absence of moral fibre. Enough is enough - he should resign and if he doesn't do it then his own party should force him to go.

AIBU?

Yes absolutely agree, despicable behaviour.

Completely agree.

He, along with the rest of the Conservative party, are a total embarrassment.

What I feel most disgusted by is how he handled the previous wind and cheese allegations, knowing that this had taken place too.

I'd prefer an arrest and criminal charges, but resignation would be a step forward. The next Tory leader will at least do the job full time and might treat women better than the misogynist.

Well, it's just another in a long line of 'misdemeanours'.

I never thought he would survive lying to the Queen, then having to admit it was wrong.

Even that is now just one of a very long list

The whole bloody lot of them should go, but they won't...

Yes, but who will take over?

Yes, he should go. Gobsmacked if anyone tried to defend him.

He is a complete embarrassment.

Yes he should, but he won't. This is the latest in a long line and he hasn't gone yet, more's the pity. He's a moral vacuum, he doesn't give a shit about the rest of us.

He’s unfit for public office. An arrogant , incompetent lazy liar.

I wish that the police would investigate it properly and press charges. But I suspect, like the wine and cheese affair, they knew all about it so will turn a blind eye.

In a way I'd rather he stayed as long as possible, to do as much damage as possible to the Tory party.

However, I suspect he'll be ousted soon. This isn't going away like they hoped it would, and the party donors are getting fractious. I reckon they're holding on until spring so they can 'blame' Covid on him and start afresh (they'll hope) with new blood when things look more positive. Fingers crossed for Liz Truss, as she's utterly useless.

Yes, but who will take over?

Well I would gladly have Teresa May back, I don't think she would have behaved in this way.

Yanbu. But he's been shown to be a lazy, lying scumbag many times before and he hung on through that. So I won't hold my breath.

I don't know whether "wind and cheese" is a typo or deliberate, but I'm def referring to it as that from now on..

He should have resigned months ago however I’m certain that he won’t. He’ll just front it out like usual, treat us all with contempt and continue lying through his arse non stop.

No YANBU
He's a disgrace and Labour need to sanction him, severly.

“Wind and cheese”
Brilliant!

YANBU. Why is he still PM?

He was laughing and behaving like a naughty young school boy who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar in his interview yesterday and showed no remorse whatsoever.

He should definitely go as should
the whole party who think and behave like they are above the law and can do as they please.

Do we think DC is leaking all this damaging info or do we think Boris has had enough and wants to go now or who is behind it.

@NinaProudman2022 I think it is Dominic Cummings or people on his behalf.

He should, but he won't. This will get chalked up as one more naughty schoolboy misdemeanour and that'll be that. As always.

How that man can sleep at night knowing how much he has taken the absolute piss and made mugs of us all is beyond me. I knew he was laughing at us but to actually see him do it in an interview!!! . The number of people I have heard in tears over being separated from their loved ones, often dying loved ones, when he was partying has made me hate him even more. The man needs to be sacked and not given the chance to resign.
