AIBU to say that people in the “real world” absolutely do care about Downing Street parties?

[PuzzledObserver]

According to Mark Spencer MP, the new leader of the House of Commons, people don’t care about partygate because what really matters to them is their jobs, NHS backlogs and energy prices.

Personally I am capable of caring about all of those AND being incensed by the “do what I say not what I do” attitude of certain members of the Government and its officials.

YABU = of course nobody cares, move on

YANBU = it absolutely matters that they told us one thing and did another themselves.

There was plenty of choice. I spoilt my paper because I didn’t like anything on offer. You don’t have to vote for something you don’t believe in.

@mummykel16 I can't argue with you any more it's like trying to juggle jelly 🤣

Says it all really

What does it say? Yes, it is like juggling jelly - or knitting fog.

There is no argument, I thought this was about expressing opinions.

And in my opinion politicians are all the same.
With few exceptions.

If that makes me a boris bot shameless or a troll so be it

The tens of thousands already sacked and the rest threatened with the sack, for not following unnecessary mandates

Do keep up. That’s no longer happening. Another Tory U turn.

Except for the care workers already sacked.

We really are fucking invisible aren't we?!

Real world impact
Do try to keep up blossom.

Absolutely care but it won't make any difference as I've never voted Tory in my life and never would. I'm in Scotland and what's going in England is best viewed from afar.

Been at the Downing Street wine @mummykel16?

There it is again

@Blossomtoes

Been at the Downing Street wine *@mummykel16*?

Another meaningless contribution

@mummykel16

Only to idiots obsessed with parties that In reality had no impact on anyone

Apart from fundamentally undermining any sort of trust any sane person has in the government.

Just that.

What sane person trusts the government, before they even get elected they lie to our faces.

I agree and care about everything you mention OP

@mummykel16 calling people who are obsessed with the parties idiots when you say they had no impact on anyone is really only showing who the idiots are.

@Blossomtoes

What did they do to stop it, to curb the excess of Johnson

What can they do? He’s got an 80 seat majority.

And he got that majority largely because of red wall voters who couldn’t stomach Jeremy Corbyn.

The red wall went blue because Johnson promised to get Brexit "done". "Oven baked deal" and other lies.

If the red wall went blue solely because of Corbyn, why didn't it go blue in 2017?

Yeah because there was so much to vote for at the last election, bloody heck

A choice of frying pan or fire is no choice at all

Thats a pathetic excuse, plenty of parties at each and all elections.

If BJ wants to compensate everyone who received a FPN or a court conviction for breaking lockdown rules then fair enough but what he actually wants is where he gets treated very differently from you or i caught in the same situation.

And he got that majority largely because of red wall voters who couldn’t stomach Jeremy Corbyn

I think you’ll find Brexit was more of a factor than Corbyn. And some of the majorities are so tiny they’ll probably lose them in the next election.

I absolutely care about the double standards of party-gate.
If the Queen can mourn the death of her husband alone & stick to lockdown rules, so should the government. I'm right leaning but the Conservatives are an absolute joke.

I've voted labour in the past but couldn't bring myself to do it when Corbyn was in power. I know quite a few people who had the same problem.

Well, it’s working isn’t it. It’s taken the Ukraine crisis but Partygate is being sidelined. Exactly what Johnson and his brown-nosing cronies want. He’s making very ‘statesmanlike’ noises. If he thinks we’ll forget he’s very much mistaken.

I bloody care about it. It's the rank hypocrisy of imposing restrictions on the entire population then blithely disregarding them themselves that enrages me.

And the lying about it afterwards compounds that.

This government don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and their cronies.

Do you think public interest will revive when the police investigation concludes?

Although tbf, if Ukraine does get bad, then we will need proper grownups in charge. God help,us.

I sincerely hope so.
