Page 3 | Boris Johnson’s birthday party

If only they'd put as much effort into scrutinising PPE contracts as they did trying to decide their M&S party menu.

No wonder test & trace was a shambles

What I can’t fathom is why this is all only just coming to light now? How did they get away with it when people were being reported and snitched on left right and centre for breaking the rules

It makes no sense at all - if that many people were all involved in these so-called 'parties' alleged to been constantly going on, and police officers / staff etc were presumably all there in the vicinity, why would they all have stayed quiet about it for so long?

I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle - as in, there were a few breaches here and there - but in order to 'nail it' on Boris and get him out of office, there needs to be a narrative of party after party until enough mud sticks.

The Met police are completely corrupt. The fact that they turned a blind eye merely confirms what everybody already knew about their corruption.

Also on the BBC homepage today:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-60118874

They abused their power to violate a woman with an unlawful strip search. Even when a strip search is legal, it should not involve the person being left completely naked at any point yet they did that. They allowed male officers to observe. They made derogatory comments about her. All recorded on CCTV.

Yet they cleared the responsible officer in the above case of gross misconduct in the middle of his misconduct hearing without even bothering to make him give evidence. Police protect their own.

It has taken nearly a decade of this woman's life fighting for accountability to reach the stage of the Met apologising for what they did to her that day.

Of course they are not going to bother taking enforcement action against government. They are too busy abusing their power over people who cannot defend themselves.

Waiting for M&S to rename their Party Food section to Office Food.

Fabulous 🤣🤣

And don't forget that after this party he hosted another party in his flat. Although Downing Street have denied this and say it was just a few familiy members and took place outside. Guess that's ok then.

Isn’t that down to Cummings and a focussed campaign

But what actually could they have done for this particular 'party' - the allegation is that a small group ate some snack food for a total duration of 20-30 minutes. I've never hosted a party that only lasted 20-30 minutes. Are they not allowed to eat? Or only allowed to eat particular types of food? Were those people legitimately already at Downing Street - if so, where/how should they have been fed? Should they have eaten in separate offices or something? I honestly don't know but it seems strange to keep defining every single allegation as a 'party' unless you're trying to create a narrative.

I guess he can't blame this one on a "work do".

sadpapercourtesan · 24/01/2022 19:33

Where's Clav? And that Janii person? Surely there must be a sunshine-and-roses version of all this that will reassure us all that there's nothing to see here.

I could never understand why anybody thought that dribbling sack of guts was a credible leader in the first place, leaving aside the racism, misogyny and general moral bankruptcy. I'd rather vote for the puppet out of the Ed Sheeran video.

Maybe they're organising a leaving party?

Newcastleteapot · 24/01/2022 19:35

As well as totally lying, don’t forget how much more food costs now, how much his friends lined their pockets with PPE contracts.

The tories are just there for themselves. That is all they believe in and all they care about.

We were not allowed to take unmasked indoor breaks with colleagues in June 2020.

If he gets away with this, then there is literally nothing that will get him out - he could still be PM after his term is finished, not hold an election, just never go 🤷🏼‍♀️ who the hell would be able to stop him?

JJ is currently on another thread defending this shit all over again. That is one dead horse she is flogging but flog she does.

This has emotionally really got to me...I was a bit sanguine about the others but this is really taking the pissout of the nation...

Nobody has denied any of these events took place…

We weren't allowed to spend 20 seconds inside socialising with other people at that time.

The allegation is that a banned social gathering was hosted to celebrate a birthday, during which time a birthday cake and snack food of a type commonly found at parties was made available to guests.

Your attempt to spin it as them eating sausage rolls for the sole purpose of avoiding starvation is very amusing, though.

Cake, party food, singing happy birthday - what else could it be, a tractor wheel?

I'm reluctantly impressed. Flogging away like Lester Piggott on coke.

@PaintYourDreams

*It worries me that the media and anonymous sources seem to be on a campaign to decide whether an elected PM should stay in office or not.

That's what happens at every general election.*

Yes but that's exactly my point. There's a major campaign underway at the moment to get Boris Johnson out of office now. Not at the next election when we all vote on it, but now. Presumably because there is a concern that he will otherwise recover from this and go on to win the next election. If not so, then why all the aggressive campaigning to try and get him out now?

If you want to be in charge don't run the country, run the media.

ExpectingLady93 · 24/01/2022 19:42

What hurts me is the rest of us were following the rules and we missed out on seeing loved ones.

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 24/01/2022 19:43

What's really got to me is that today they were laughing about 'partygate' on my local radio station. Properly ripping the piss about it. I'm not in the UK. This is what this fuckwit had done to the UK. Moved it from the 'respectable, decent country' box into the 'Berlasconi Bunga Bunga party ' box. And that was before the news of these two new parties broke.
