Hasn't enough time been wasted over this trivia.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

It's not wasted time to ensure our leaders follow the laws they created and required us to follow.

If Conservative MP's don't vote against Boris I rather suspect the inevitable trouncing in the local elections will not bother them that much.

A little bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth will no doubt ensue.

Local election results are, after all, hardly a pointer towards a likely GE outcome in two years time.

It's trivia only to those who find democracy trivial.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

However speeding fixed penalty notices , for offences far more deadly than eating cake with people you have spent days with are treated as joke :confused:

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I agree there are more important things happening in the world there doesn't need this as a distraction.

Boris, as much as I dislike him has done a sterling job in supporting Ukraine and needs to be able to continue this.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

It's only a 'distraction' by the actions of those that didn't follow the law.

If they had followed the rules they required us to follow, we wouldn't be talking about it now.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Misleading the house about laws you introduced and told the country to follow is far more important than doing 31 in a 30 limit. As I've explained before, the laws were about banning social gatherings and not about cake.

Agree that Johnson has been doing well on Ukraine but there's a very strong UK consensus on this issue. So no reason that this won't carry on without him.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

To be fair, the Brexit thread is almost dead and buried.
Shortages of food, medicine, toilet roll and flower pickers never gets mentioned anymore.
Articles about refugee boats from across the channel have been replaced by £300 a month lodgers.

so I guess this thread is probably the only one left for moaning about the government :shrug:


edit:
That'll be 98.62% of the population then, no matter which law they broke

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

It's not the breaking of the rules that is the big issue here, it's the honesty to Parliament. Parliament (the legislative) exists as a check on the actions of the executive (Government) along with the courts. If the executive and its' officers are not honest to Parliament, then the link between the two is broken, breaking the (unwritten) constitution of the country.

Putting a hat on with 'Hyperbole' written on it, an executive pillar that does not and will not answer to the legislative and judicial pillars is a dictatorship

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Politicians lie, to the public and themselves. Surely everyone of voting age understands this and that it will never change.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Doesn't mean we shouldn't keep having a go at them for it when they do though.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Funnily enough, I can't recall people on this forum doing that so vigorously over the years . . strange that :rolleyes:

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Just because someone can't recall something doesn't mean it didn't happen. ;)

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Others have had been called out for lying when needed

Maybe if the current government weren't doing it so regularly, then people wouldn't be so vigorous as they are.

Strange that.
