I'm beginning to think the prime minister isn't very truthful. :rolleyes:

Boris Johnson has always been a liar he's incapable of taking any personal responsibility until he's forced to the man has the integrity and honour of a slug. The fact his backstabbing and games got him into downing street is a sad reflection on the quality of our political system and perfectly highlights why I'm not bothering at the next election I don't think I'll be alone.

Politicians rely on that, their reasoning will be if enough people give up, are turned off and don't bother it'll be down to the hard-core sociopaths that see no wrong in anything they do to decide it, it'll be worse than some two bit dictatorship

Yes, it's part of the problem and not part of the solution. But a very understandable gut reaction.

I am sure those who, on that day a year ago, followed the rules and were unable to be with their loved ones when they died in hospital are "affected". I suspect that they are bloody livid.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
 

Regarding the bold part, the turnout for elections is, and has been for a long time, quite low. It's almost as if the general public have, over the years, sussed out that it doesn't matter who gets in, nothing ever changes.

The only time there's a decent voter turnout is when something 'big' is on offer . . like the Brexit referendum . . where people could see that a vote for what they wanted, or didn't want, could actually make a difference to the outcome.

Politics, and the Governance of the country, is tied up by large businesses and political correctness . . no matter who is in power, the public are a fair way down the ladder of importance . . . and they know it ;)

My wife and daughter have never, to my knowledge, ever voted for anything, and I - at 67 years of age - have only voted about 5 times . . . and once was a 'protest' vote for BNP :D

I know people that met family over Christmas, are ironically calling for Boris to go, yet they refuse themselves to quit their jobs

I will vote as god help us if Liebour gets in, as they would immediately rejoin the EU and surrender Stirling

They aren't the ones who set the laws forbidding others to do so.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
 

Yes, I'm sure its right up there as one of their top concerns this week.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
 

Yes, there have been several people in the news who lost loved ones who have said it is a concern for them

I'm sure they have, to the media, surprisingly.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
 

Traced and found by the media too probably ;)

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
 

They are vultures around a death sadly.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
 

These people seem to be also think it's worth their concern and they're not media as far as I'm aware but relatives of those lost during the pandemic

This is either a joke or you're manna from heaven for them, they spend years telling lies and are currently being dragged over coals daily for it and the best you can come up with is to call the opposition that, beyond childish, they're laughing at you and everyone like you
