I think it's the Jennifer Acuri matter that peple are suggesting is potentially criminal, not the proroguing of Parliament.
Quote:
Police could be called in to investigate how companies operated by Jennifer Arcuri came to be awarded £100,000 of public money during a time when she was close friends with Boris Johnson, deputy Labour leader Tom Watson has suggested.

I don’t need to keep going, it’s there in print that he broke constitutional law
Accept it and move on

Let's leave it to The Independent Office for Police Conduct to investigate, Old Boy.
Quote:
Breaking - Boris Johnson has been referred to a police watchdog to assess whether he should be investigated for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office.

i don’t believe that’s true - there are a small number of politicians who believe they are above the law, and that their ambition and self-enrichment is all that matters, but I believe they are in the minority.
They would like you to believe otherwise, because then their excuse is "everyone is doing it, so I’m not real that bad", when in reality, they are the pond **** in the lake of politics.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
Obviously corruption is bad but what law specifically could he be accused of breaking? Is it illegal to give public money to someone you have a relationship with if they do actually do something for it (even if that is just to go on trade trips)? I know it breaks several rules and he may fall foul of what the Mayor is allowed to do but he is already out of that office....

Misconduct. Sky News says "The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has been asked to assess whether the prime minister should be investigated for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office."
As reported by the BBC
Quote:
In a letter to the PM setting out the referral, the monitoring officer says: "The conduct matter relates to your time as mayor of London between 2008 and 2016.
"During this time it has been brought to my attention that you maintained a friendship with Ms Jennifer Arcuri and as a result of that friendship allowed Ms Arcuri to participate in trade missions and receive sponsorship monies in circumstances when she and her companies could not have expected otherwise to receive those benefits."

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
Politically motivated attack, pretty much like what President Trump is going through with this impeachment inquiry in the U.S.

It was the GLA who referring him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49859321
Quote:
The Greater London Authority's monitoring officer - whose job it is to monitor the conduct of the mayor and other members - said it had written to the police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
It said it had referred the PM to the IOPC "so it can assess whether or not it is necessary to investigate the former mayor of London for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office".
It added that it has recorded a "conduct matter" against Mr Johnson which happens when there is information that indicates that a criminal offence may have been committed.
But it does not mean that a criminal offence is proved in any way, the GLA's monitoring officer added.

Seems like a standard practise that evidence arose so they refer it over.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
You’re not telling me he wasn’t “leaned on”. All these investigations, character assassinations on Boris, are in place for one reason, to stop Brexit.

A referral is the best way of clearing up the matter. It does not mean guilt. Are you honestly suggesting that the information compiled by The Sunday Times should be ignored? This is a democracy, not North Korea.
And as for the Brexit conspiracy theory - I would suggest that keeping Boris in power is a good way to prevent Brexit as he seems incapable of delivering it.

It worries me that this whole establishment stitch up will end in riots, the mood in the country is not good, unless your a gloating remainer, which the majority of voters aren't.
