Which means when he stood up in parliament and said he knew nothing about any parties (and any he knew about he didn’t think were parties) he was, unsurprisingly, outright lying. He can’t say he didn’t know about this, and he can’t say he didn’t know it was a party. And I imagine if he’d told them to stop, Downing Street would have already made that crystal clear.
Someone, somewhere is playing the long game. They haven't given out all their evidence at once, allowing Johnson to make a statement "I had no knowledge of any parties" before releasing information that shows him to be an out-and-out liar. I'd put good money on it being Cummings either directly or working in conjunction with those who saw Boris as a useful tool (in both senses of the word) who has now served his purpose.
The Times yesterday ran another article stating that Johnson still believes he's done nothing wrong, which either means he's completely deluded or genuinely - and incredibly arrogantly - expects people to believe his bullshit in the face of an onslaught of evidence to the contrary. I'm not sure which is worse.
The Met police are completely corrupt. The fact that they turned a blind eye merely confirms what everybody already knew about their corruption.
Well, they've got a pretty hectic schedule of strip-searching women on scant justification and in humiliating and dehumanising ways; trampling over memorials to murdered women; brutally arresting female protesters; covering up for colleagues accused of indecent behaviour, and abducting, raping and murdering women before burning their dumped bodies in a ditch. It's hard to know how they'd fit investigating breaches of the law in around all that.
