Take a look on youtube for "Cassette Boy - Rage Against the Party Machine" if you fancy a giggle this afternoon.

That would put them on a par with public offenders. Sue Gray would be irrelevant to this if she found that only "guidance" was flouted.

It won't go away for the Guvmin if they flouted their own guidance; the public wouldn't see it favourably, never mind the flouting I reckon we've all done to some extent.

As to illegality, have a read of this: https://barristerblogger.com/2021/12...-street-party/

It's difficult to paste a useful quote due to the way the item is formatted. But really worth a read.

Indeed, they should confess all to the police and let the system deal with it.

With all this coming out they're really going to struggle to get support if they try and extend Plan B especially face nappies. You only need to see what the comments are on a typical news article online to see how many people don't want it any more.

"face nappies"?

Isn’t that something that "COVID-lovers" say?

A categorical denial. Should he sue Cummings for slander?

Quote:

Johnson: Nobody warned me drinks event was against rules

Boris Johnson has "categorically" denied he was warned a drinks party in the No 10 garden risked breaking lockdown rules.

"Nobody warned me that it was against the rules," the prime minister said, adding: "I would have remembered that."

Former aide Dominic Cummings says he warned Mr Johnson at the time, and has accused him of misleading MPs about it.

Asked if he would resign if he was found to have misled MPs, Mr Johnson said: "Let's see what the report says."

Senior civil servant Sue Gray is due to publish a report into alleged Covid rule breaking at lockdown get-togethers in Downing Street and government departments.

In his blog, Mr Cummings, who was still working in Downing Street at the time of the drinks party on 20 May 2020, said the prime minister had been told that it would break Covid guidelines.

He added that he had warned Mr Johnson about the gathering but the PM had "waved it aside".

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties

Even though he is responding to a specific allegation the headline "No one warned me drinks event was against rules" is an awful one for him to have on the BBC News frontpage. People will think it's absurd.

An interesting aside is the rebranding from "alleged party" to "drinks event". Maybe Johnson was conscious of not making Raab's mistake when he called it a party and not an alleged party.

He didn't know the rules because he had work to do when the Prime Minister was announcing the rules on television.

I'm not surprised as I only said a few days ago

But we always had this early warning too.
