Mister M   1,625 #3721 Posted January 11, 2022 24 minutes ago, West 77 said: He's not lying if he believes the gatherings were not parties. The email doesn't describe the meeting in the Downing Street garden as a party. The media and the opposition parties are labelling these gatherings as parties for political point scoring purposes. I'm not defending anyone. Unlike the anti Tory mob I've got an open mind and use logic when I make my contributions. It was against the rules. The rules they made. The rules people in this country abided by when they were burying family members.  His smirking when he was asked today by a journalist if he attended this party says it all.  He's never grown up from the schoolboy at Eton, about who his school teacher wrote "Boris doesn't think the rules should apply to him". He's never had to get better as a person because everything has fallen into his lap, and there's people like you mug enough to make excuses for him.

Zinger549   233 #3722 Posted January 11, 2022 How can you keep defending Boris. He can't give a straight answer. If he was just truthful with people we wouldn't have to go through all of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

This is from a rather furious piece in The Telegraph"  "As one veteran Tory, a Johnson loyalist, explained: “We had the whole Owen Paterson affair and then we had the parties. And it’s worse than before Christmas because Christmas was supposed to draw a line. Now we are having to deal with the sheer idiocy of an email to 100 people effectively saying: ‘Let’s break the rules’. It’s beyond comprehension, really." One of the Tories biggest individual donors isnt happy with Boris either https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59956939 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The signals are all there, senior Tories, major donors and prominent establishment journalists all openly questioning his future.  Meanwhile, he's in hiding, waiting for a civil servant to tell him if he went to a party in his own garden.

Whatever the opposite of character building is, that's Johnson's whole life. This is the point of private education of course; if you can afford £15,000 per half term, your mediocre child gets the opportunity to 'achieve' far beyond the limits of their ability.

Easy to cancel online too.  Might be the best three quid you've ever spent to watch them setting the attack dogs onto Johnson.  It's nothing to do with parties though. They just think that he's too left wing😀 6 minutes ago, hackey lad said: Think the large Lady is warming up her vocal chords . He's toast.
