harvey19 541 #3697 Posted January 11, 2022 A massive error of judgement in sending out such an invitation when the public expect an example to be set which can not be misinterpreted.. I do not think it is the Conservative party which is at fault but individual member/s of the party administration who issued the invitation. Higher standards from our leaders are expected and as a result evaluating acceptance of such an invitation is important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Downing Street garden is an outside space used for work purposes. It's only old washerwomen and the media who are trying to make out this was a party. And it's only toadying grovellers that try to excuse Boris Johnson and his minions from every crime and misdemeanor they commit.

atticus 97 #3701 Posted January 11, 2022 If you invite 100 people round to your gaff and tell them to “ bring a bottle”, you’re having a party . End of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And many around Westminster would have heard about it, but its only now that there is proof, that the press have the email. It would have enboldened others to break the rules.

Dromedary 166 #3708 Posted January 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Delbow said: The Guardian are reminding people that on the day of this party, culture secretary Oliver Dowden was reminding the British public “You can meet one person outside of your household in an outdoor, public place provided that you stay 2 metres apart.” But it's not an outdoor public place as I have previously flagged up in a past post. The BBC has this in a part on their site about what rules Downing Street may have broken. "However, lawyers have noted that Downing Street is not a public place." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59577129 No matter how much mud the Guardian flings at the Conservatives over the past several years none of it has stuck. We will have to rename Boris as Teflon Boris, but it somehow doesn't have the same ring as Teflon Tony though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
