Boris Johnson ‘has forgotten’ passcode for phone wanted by Covid inquiry | Covid inquiry | The Guardian

It's like getting blood out of a stone.
First he was late to supply the messages.
Then he forgets his passcode.

I am sure there are ways to get in to it.

Liar.

I'm sure someone will be able to get into it.

PimpMyFridge · 13/07/2023 19:38

The thief who nicked my DH's phone this week got past his code in a jiffy and wreaked havoc. You just take it to your local high street mobile phone store who asks no questions and it's done. Easy peasy.
I'm sure he knows that.

Has he tried B-U-L-L-S-H-*-T 😂(Pinched from Piers Morgan)

sparklefresh · 13/07/2023 19:41

He's a fucking liar.

TrustPenguins · 13/07/2023 19:44

More lies.

And there will be ways to access his phone if he wanted to / let others help him.

Just take it down the bottom end of town to the lovely guys a MOBILZZ 4 U and they will unlock, repair a new screen for £80 in one hour.

He's utterly shameless.

I bet he drops it in his piss pot.

A bit like RV v CR, when RV said that her mobile was lost at sea. Grin
CR's brief said something about 'Davy Jones locker' but RV said she didn't know him. Hmm

Even if for once in his life he is telling the truth and he genuinely can not recall the pass code, that is still completely irrelevant and no excuse whatsoever for ignoring a High Court order. All he was asked to do was hand the phone over, so that's all he needed to do.

Utterly shameless.

Sunnyespania · 13/07/2023 19:54

I forgot how much I loathed the way Boris Johnson took the entire UaK public for gullible idiots.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/07/2023 19:58

GCHQ could probably help out here.

the80sweregreat · 13/07/2023 19:58

Surely the police can do it or that man you see in the high street who unlocks phones for a few pounds?

Tangled123 · 13/07/2023 19:59

I bet he uses the exact same code on his current phone. He really does think the public are idiots.

Obfuscation

He's a lying cunt. Obviously.

ssd · 13/07/2023 20:04

I hope everyone who voted for this fucking idiot are totally ashamed of themselves.

Takeovermylife · 13/07/2023 20:06

Aww what's he like

DuncinToffee · 13/07/2023 20:07

FT is reporting that Boris Johnson has finally confirmed his iPhone password using government records - and will give the messages to the Covid inquiry soon

MrsRobinsonChangesHerName · 13/07/2023 20:07

In fairness he also can't remember how many children he has, so a passcode does seem a little tricky.

ChrisPPancake · 13/07/2023 20:08

Chinny reckon!

He'll be dropping it over the side of a boat next.
