It's almost laughable with boris Johnson getting a £100 fine for having parties during lockdown whist we all suffered the loss of loved ones, not being able to see family.

I actually think it's a joke. People were fined £10,000 for having a party and all boris got was £100🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️what has the world come
Too

I do wonder why fines aren't more proportional to wealth.

As you say some people were fined MUCH bigger amounts on incomes that are a fraction of his.

I mean, totally apart from the fact that he has blatantly lied, repeatedly, and somehow isn't automatically removed from his job as Prime Minister.

Yeah well, the scale of the fine definitely isn't as big a deal to me as the astonishing, dishonest hypocrisy in a time of serious national sacrifice, and the constant lying we have to endure.

jadey1991 · 12/04/2022 22:58

Exactly so really he should resign. Not stay in power and keep lying to us. Look at rishi sunak now him and his wife were not paying no tax now it's getting investigated. The whole government are liars.

Just tories doing what tories do I suppose. They're like a row of piggies snuffling in the trough and not giving a damn how much mess they make.

Your username stood out to me as I live in Furness. Are you in the area too?

On the topic of the OP, Johnson, & Sunak actually, should resign, but neither of them will. Tory bastards.

No, I've never even been to Barrow in Furness 😆

I bet he’ll expense it, given they were “work parties”

jadey1991 · 12/04/2022 23:39

I really do think they should resign... it's either he resigns or refund the people that the met issued fines too. I think it's a slap in the face. We all struggled through lockdown.

Absolutely this. £100 is but pocket change for them, but to a family the other end of the wealth scale that’s carefully budgeted food in bellies for a month.

@Emmelina exactly that. It's ridiculous.. I'm one of them.
