The question is one of moral authority, and specifically whether a leader still has it after telling everyone to refrain from certain behaviour for the safety of the nation, then behaving that way themselves. Does such a leader retain the moral right to govern, or to legislate for our behaviour? |

And I haven’t been thinking about this all afternoon. I don’t spend all day on this forum, I do have other things to do in my life. If that incident was a blatant full-blown party, I would agree that this was a more serious issue, but looking at what actually happened, that puts the matter into proportion. Those who are out to get him will kick up a huge fuss. But, sorry; it is rather pathetic. |

Just admit it - you went out on a limb defending Bozzer and he’s let you down. He’s been caught in a piece of sickening hypocrisy which everyone who had to forego a visit to a loved one’s death bed, or cancel a wedding, or hold a funeral without mourners, will find extremely hard to forgive. And all you seem to be worried about is being wrong on the internet. Quote:
I repeat: this is nothing to do with where this sits on the standard scale of fixed penalty offences. It’s to do with his moral authority to lead at a time of crisis. Unless and until you can adequately answer in those terms, all of this is just hot air from someone who has a very hard time admitting they could ever be wrong about anything. |

Cost of living crisis is mainly inflation + fuel, fuel again compounded not caused by Ukraine, but I will say that this Governments (and the Wests) misguided drive for Net-Zero has helped cause the fuel cost crisis. We should have been in full fracking production by now, opening up new North Sea oil & gas fields ( I think just one gas one has opened) and had several new nuclear in the pipeline. “Record” tax take, I don’t think it’s a record. He got Brexit (and the mood of the country at the time) right. He got Furlough right, it cost a lot, but saved many businesses and families (we do have to pay for that now though) He got Vaccines right. He got opening up right. He (and previous Con Govs) got Ukraine right……so far. |

Same as the NHS and Social Care which the Government let run close to the limit each winter leaving no slack at all for something like COVID. I think the Government got quite a lot of key decisions right during a crisis but was left in a difficult position because of their previous decisions. |

You seem very keen to give us what you try to pass as absolute facts when it backs up your beliefs but when others try and do the same and you don't like it you want them to wait for the report etc. Just accept you backed a loser, something most of us have known since the early pages of the thread. |
