BoJo episode 2 (this time it's personal)

I think the saddest apart of this whole fiasco is that the Queen was dragged off her death bed to say cheerio to Boris and smile sweetly at Liz Truss.
Shame they couldn't have left her alone.

[ref]Nanu[/ref], That’s the point, regardless of your own conspiracy theories, Boris was charged and fined for breaking the rules of social gatherings during lockdown, whereas Starmer was investigated, but no charges were brought. He also stated that if he was charged he would resign.

OK Sars..........this is for you ...........who would you believe..........out of Boris........or The FIA? The 2021 and 22 WDC could hang on your answer :poke:
I’m not sure that the above translated well from the thoughts in your head to the your actual post :D What has the 2021 or 2022 WDC have to do with Boris?

and I trust neither of them, Boris says what he thinks you want to hear, regardless of what he believes, and the FIA are in business to make money and will say or do anything that promotes their business goals, just look at the overspend chaos completely self inflicted.



Lets leave the voices .......I mean the thoughts in my head out of this :lol:

The connection between Boris and .the FIA is neither seem capable of the truth but of the two , I think The FIA have the thicker book or excuses

With total politeness intended it is you that is missing the point, or perhaps me not making it properly.

During Covid my job was advising local Authorities in my area and businesses, on Covid Compliance. On some occasions that included Police Forces and enforcement action. The point I was trying to make was Boris accepted a fine when he did not need to, as he had a defence. (Gatherings were permitted in work bubbles for essential work). He and Rishi were attending a cabinet meeting about Covid, which I presume you accept was essential work. What was not allowed was Carrie being there, for whatever reason, but for some reason she was not fined? (He also had another get out of which he was aware but chose not to take, in that Downing Street is part of the Crown Estates, which the Act did not cover. It only covered public and private places).

Starmer was investigated as you say, and he did use the defence of essential work (He said in the MSM and in Parliament that he and the others, were campaigning in the local elections and the nearby Hartlepool by election) Durham Police mistakenly accepted this and made the announcement of NFA. I contacted the enquiry team and made them aware of the below and that they had made a mistake. They they said they agreed but they declined to reverse the decision after having already announced it. (Suspect out of embarrassment more than anything)

I invite you to use the below link and scroll down to the Section headed "Campaigning Safely from 8 March" and I recall it's about the 10th or 11th para. One line however sums it up,

"Meetings to organise and plan campaigns should be held online or over the phone. They should not take place in person".

Starmer was guilty, should therefore resigned as he promised but escaped as a result of Durham Police not reading all the legislation.

Covid legislation in the main was hurried and not the easiest piece of law to follow, but this was updated a year or so in and was a lot easier.

That seems exactly what the tory MPs are thinking. It's wrong, just wrong. You shouldn't allow a person who was kicked out for the things he did to just waltz back in because it's the easiest option.

This is serious sh*t; our economy and reputation in the world financial markets are at stake here. Political wrangling doesn't normally affect each of us very much on a personal level. This time it really does.
The problem for me is. I haven’t voted Conservative since Maggie went rogue, but if I don’t vote for them Starmer might get in. Then we are back to the dark ages. The Lib Dem’s have no chance and the Greens want us to all ride bicycles and eat vegetables. :headbang:
 
Let’s face it, all parties want us riding bicycles and eating veg.

The only difference is the Tories want us to do it by2050, Labour want it by 2030 and the others think it should have been done yesterday.

Make the most of the next couple of years whatever happens.
 
Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson just announced he won't run - thank f**k for that! Claims he had 102 nominations but I suspect far less and now trying to save face by claiming to be acting in the countries best interest :lol: Flew back from the Dominican Republic to wish Rishi and Penny well - yeah right :wink: Be the first time in his life he's pulled out in time too!

As one commentator put it "It’s like that time when I had an offer to play for Liverpool but decided, in the event, that it was for the best if i pressed ahead with my history degree." :D
 
So Rishi got beaten by Truss, which makes you think that she was the better choice in the parties eyes.
So if he gets in what sort of a mess is he going to make.

Someone has finally told Boris that it ain't gonna work and he should be concentrating (when he's finished his exotic holidays) on the investigations by the PSC for lying to the commons (no mention of the public obviously).

If it's Penny vs Rishi, then Penny is sure to win from the 'party' vote. The average right wing, racist, members of the CP will vote for the white girl, come what may (they did last time).

My vote (not that I get one) would be for Penny, as she has a pretty name and is quite good to look at. Shallow? That's what it has become! :|

But he came second and the winner was a fuckwit, so by elimination he should get the job, surely?

This is what our democracy has come to. And while they are fecking about, our pensions are dropping by £500 a day and interest rates are going up by 2% a week because the 'markets' don't like this shite.

I have an idea: why don't we just ask Manhattan Chase and Barclays International who they would prefer and just give them the job? it may save a great deal of time and (our) money! :)
 
To late Penny's pulled out, please welcome, oh joy, Richy Sunak our next prime minister

Someone had some foresight with this song:

It should be Rishi's theme tune from now on IMHO! :thumbsup:

The 1922 committee has confirmed he did have 102 votes. He pulled out because Rishi would not do a non aggression deal whichever one won.
Boris would not have been able to form a cabinet and he knew it.

Now for the higher taxes, lower benefits and backtracking on the triple lock for the pensioners. Add to that austerity Mk2, oh joy indeed, but at least the city will be happy and calm so where's the problem?
 
Military pension increases in April are calculated on the CPI of the previous September.
Just been announced as 10.1%
If he tries to backtrack on that he's picked the wrong bunch of people!!!

Can't be bad! :roll:
If I don't give myself a 10% pay rise this year I am going to strike and withdraw my labour from myself. That will teach me. :(

Same here with my pensions - not often I'm happy to see inflation rise but hope it tracks down to more reasonable levels from now on
