sheffbag Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 For the people who worked during the lockdown in offices or other environments (as i did) Did you manage to maintain social distancing throughout the whole period? Did you not wish others happy birthday if it was their birthday? Did you ever have a drink with a work colleague, alcoholic or not? Did you ever have a piece of food if offered? Or if you were paid to stay at home through furlough Did you ever think, thanks for trying to protect us and keep the country going even though the PM had covid himself and was hospitalised. Im not a Tory or a Boris supporter but fgs, if anyone was entitled to have a drink during this then the people running the country trying to support the economy and keeping people in employment were. But hey, Boris had a slice of cake so he must resign. Who cares, there isn't a politician out there who hasn't lied to try and protect themselves. What's your alternative for those who want him out? All you will get is a new Conservative PM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads36 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well, yes. That's the process. . Prime Ministers like to feel important, but they're thoroughly replaceable. Maybe the next one might think twice about lying to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 If attendees are being given £100/£50 fixed penalties, will the organisers be fined £10,000 as were general members of the publics for their "parties"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 1 hour ago, West 77 said: It's only your bias opinion along with the rest of the anti Boris sheep that he lied. The truth is Boris didn't believe the gatherings were against the rules and most certainly didn't judge the work gatherings to be parties meaning he didn't lie or deliberately mislead Parliament. Eating a slice of birthday cake given to you at work is not considered to be attending a party by normal people during normal times. The whole saga has been created by the media and supported by the opposition parties for political point scoring purposes. The news coverage on SKY this morning presented by a women who arranged her own birthday party during lockdown kept repeating clips of Boris and Sunak holding a pint of beer above their heads to give the impression they were partying. Sunak didn't even take a sip of the beer. I will add I'm more than happy with Boris being our country's Prime Minister and will always be grateful to him because he was the only politician who could get the electoral support to enable Brexit to get done which was our country's democratic choice. You’re wasting your time, Boris and friends were obviously out of their heads on booze, dancing the Hokey Cokey, and sharing a joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 It's so sad to read this thread and see how low the standards are these days. As if yesterdays £50 fine were the full extent of Boris Johnson's failings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackey lad Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I know they have done wrong and been rightly punished but the press are really making a meal of this . Kay Burley ( yes that one ) talking about how Boris broke the rules at the Christmas quiz with drinks and tinsel . Boris did it by a zoom call , sat at a desk with I think one other person. There was tinsel and a drink on his desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accepting the fixed penalty fine doesn't make him guilty of lying to parliament or deliberately misleading parliament. I agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
