Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
The police don’t investigate the crimes of rich people in this country.

You lot have found him guilty before you have all the facts. But of course you are always right regardless, eh?

I "drew that conclusion" when you posted

Well, if this is the most serious issue you think this world faces, you really need to get a grip, Andrew.
These were work colleagues who were together because the government can’t just stop functioning. If they met for drinks afterwards, where is the harm?

By the way, it was the scientists that pushed Boris into the lockdown rules. His heart was never really in it, was it?

btw, you never responded to my question - if he wasn’t there, why doesn’t just say so? He wouldn’t be prejudicing any Enquiry outcomes, and he would clear his own name.

Now ? No.
Atm, its an allegation, nothing more.
Last I checked, we are still innocent until proven guilty in the UK.

Yes, but why spoil the fun of seeing the disappointment on the benches opposite when/if he’s exonerated? He has a policy of not speaking about his personal activities.

That doesn’t explain the Cliff Richard investigation, or many others that you will be well aware of. It simply isn’t true.

I’m sure even in banana republics they throw a few to the lions to spare the great and the good. For every Cliff Richard there’s a Jimmy Saville.

The inquiry will clear him. Just as the inquiry about his expenses cleared him.
If he said he wasn’t at that party, would you believe him? It would only lead to further questions.
As I said before, why give these blowhards the oxygen they crave? It will be satisfying enough to see their deflated looks when the inquiry exonerates him. Assuming it does, of course. If it doesn’t, he will have to consider his position before others do it for him.

It’s no business of the Labour Party’s.

100% corruption goes to the core of the British state. It wears both blue and red lapels. It holds high ranking positions in the police, the judiciary and the media. And it looks after it’s own.

The Prime Minister (Johnson or anyone else) is not an absolute monarch or dictator (hopefully). They are supposed to be a public servant.
It's as much Labour's right to question the behaviour of our Prime Minister as it is mine, yours or anyone else's. That's true no matter which party is in power or who the current Prime Minister is.

I'm at a loss to understand why you set your self up for the fall like this. It's past the point of any belief in his exoneration if it occurs. The investigation will become discredited if a witness or two come forward to say he was there and the investigation says he wasn't.
Quite simply, his word is not trusted and that's fatal in politics.
