Wasn't there an 80s song about this by The Associates? ;)
Yes, here it is.

Convenient timing for this to leak distracting from the Boris vote of shame.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Personally, I think it's to distract the media from the honours list. I mean, what could one young girl working for Boris have done in a 2 year career that would warrant a peerage? I suspect I know, but Carrie might not be happy with the answer.

you cannot comprehend the enormity of the MOD EDIT I don't give about this.

Using language that invokes the Site "swear filter", or using asterisks to avoid the Site "swear filter", is against Site T&Cs.

Repetition of this behaviour will invoke the Infraction System.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

I can as I'm the same.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

I don't think the police time is worth going after staffers several years on. There is still some argument to be made that you should go after the politicians who wrote the laws they're breaking but as a political event people know Johnson & Co lied, they've made their minds up and it brought down Johnson as well as derailed the Government.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Here’s the first minister of wales breaking his own lockdown rules at the time at a packed Diwali party.

You know the man whose rules were so Draconian and insane he cling-filmed supermarket aisles.

Anyone calling for his head? He’s still In charge - labour saying nothing.

Whataboutism alert again !

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Steady pip, you’re starting to sound like you care.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

If I didn't give a monkey's I wouldn't read a thread let alone post anything! Life's too short.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Do you mean he was breaking the lockdown rules in Wales at the time which stated -

"Face coverings are not required in premises where food and drink is served'.

The advice says: 'This is because the purpose of attending those places is to eat and drink, for which a face covering is not practical and, therefore, not required.'

btw, are you re-quoting Sophie Corcoran or CCHQ? ;)

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

It's literally copy and pasted!

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Yes.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

At least if you are reading and regurgitating Sophie Corcoran’s views on anything it confirms you’ve given up caring.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Why not credit the author?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Because neither did Sophie Corcoran. :rofl:

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

OB logic. :D

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

And a new investigation is launched today! No 10 really has been a a drain on our hard-pressed police service.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Oh wonderful, a Covid thread. Most Political Parties broke the stupid rules for what is essentially just a cold.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Bit of a nasty cold to cause 228,000 deaths in the UK.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

They did not die of just Covid.

Of which most of those has other major ailments, being a contributing factor. We all know how those deaths were recorded, they could have been knocked down, if they tested positive over a certain period, Covid was put on Death certificates.

Colds can kill people. It was a cold, I caught Covid 6 times, 3 before any jabs. I’ve had colds worse than Covid.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

By that logic why prosecute anyone where food and drink were served? Unless of course it's the gathering itself that's the problem then work through all events reported equitably. Even those without high profile attendees.



This whole thing is getting a bit tedious.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

So life expectancy in the UK which has been increasing for decades, has declined last few years. Is that a clue that it was more than a 'cold'?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

It was declining not because of Covid. You do know there are thousands of other serious medical complications?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

That doesn’t mean it’s not relevant or not just as important. Of course, if it’s Labour people misbehaving, you would always want to be quiet about it. A little balance wouldn’t go amiss, although I know I stand to be disappointed.

More like flu, I’d say.

---------- Post added at 13:14 ---------- Previous post was at 13:13 ----------

I agree. This whole thing has been ridiculously hyped up for political advantage.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

You mean because of 13 years of the Tories running the NHS into the ground, increasing levels of poverty and the country generally going backwards? Yes, all contributory factors to lower life expectancies.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

It was Covid that ran the NHS into the ground, although I know you would prefer to believe otherwise.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Absolute rubbish as its very convenient for the government to blame covid for everything as there has been a huge funding gap since 2010 onwards and severe austerity cuts into the bargain as well.

I think you'll find it's been going downhill since 2010. What happened then I wonder?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

:rofl: what’s actually frightening is you believe that and have a vote equal to everyone else’s (FPTP aside) in an election.

An utterly deranged fantasy.

Foreign agents must be rubbing their hands that the brightest young minds in CCHQ - the governing party in all but thirteen of the last forty-five years are stupid enough to break the law, on camera, with an audit trail.

These idiots would pay out a far greater return than Farage’s bank account.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Such a shame about the 2008 financial crash, wasn’t it? Don’t forget that when David Cameron’s government came to power immediately after the election, he put more money into the NHS which Labour claimed was ‘reckless’ in view of the financial crisis.

Labour would not have put the NHS in a better position because while it is good as spending money, it is completely incapable of controlling the budget.

If you do not believe that Covid had a devastating impact on the NHS, you are not thinking this through, are you, Den?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

What’s having a devastating effect in the incompetence and inadequacy if the Conservative party. The sooner they are out the door and this great nation can get up off its knees the better.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Den's saying the rot set in before Covid, he's not disputing that made it worse. I believe he's mentioned his wife works for the NHS so he has some insights that you may not be party to.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

You mean in the bad old Labour days when hospital patients were drinking out of vases and the Health Minister was more interested in hiding bad news than fixing it?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

The bad old Labour days :rofl:

Pick a side OB you can’t argue the NHS was AND wasn’t working before Covid. Otherwise it’s just anti-Labour vitriol and Conservative propaganda.

For someone who waxed lyrical about how we just have to believe to make things better, you aren’t giving the next Government the backing I’d have expected.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

You are being ridiculous. It’s pointless debating anything with you.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Your biggest problem is you repeatedly parrot the same lines as CCHQ and Tory media outlets OB without any proof or substantiation of your increasingly wild untruthful claims.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Witch hunt part 2.....:geez:

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

And your biggest problem, Den, is to assume that anything coming out of the Conservative camp is a lie. Do you never stop to analyse your anti- Conservative attitude? Listen to the argument rather than obsessing on the source.

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

Is that the argument that’s going to get trounced at the next election? It’s not den you have to worry about it’s the voters deserting them in their droves. Millions of people up and down the country with falling living standards. Workers getting below inflation pay rises. Home owners getting rinsed by their banks. People that were supposed to be on the right side of the drawbridge when the Tories pulled it up.

Pray, tell, OB. How much do they have to lose the argument by for you to take the blinkers off and concede the shambles they are?

Re: Partygate 2: New investigation launched June 2023
 

I don't understand why anyone who isn't a multi millionaire in pure cash has anything to do with that party, seriously what's in it for them
