We've had cliff edge, cake and eat it, cherry picking and clock ticking. Now we have narrow path. I think the EU must have a book of phrases
It's always interesting reading through the sentencing guidelines to see how much wiggle room a judge has. Doesn't seem to be all that much wiggle room in a manslaughter case like this, but what I'd like to know (in line with your original post) is what makes this manslaughter instead of death through dangerous driving? I'd guess it was his intent to harm rather that killing through negligence.
I wouldn't have had a problem with Brexit being put on hold till the pandemic was under control. I don't know whether that was feasable or not.
Apparently he got 36 months for dangerous driving to run concurrently. The original murder charge was founded on the fact that he drove the wrong way around the roundabout and then repeatedly smashed his car into the bike and thieves. So it seems clear he lost it and was intent on doing injury.
It was certainly feasible, but the ERG wouldn't have stood for it, so Johnson wouldn't contemplate it.
We had the option to do so until the end of June but Johnson’s stock was high at the time as blindly backing a government doing **** in a time of crisis is the patriotic thing to do. Imagine the Mail headlines if he’d been seen to kick the can down the road another year. Not a chance.
WTF? Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has told him that he should use the army to re-run the election in swing states that he lost to Biden. Meanwhile the Pentagon has called a halt to briefings for Biden's transition team. Madness.

I find it stunning that this report comes from a country that has virtually no benefit system and no national health system, about a country that has one of the most generous benefit systems on earth. Which is partly why all the illegal immigrants want to come here. If children are going hungry in the UK, there must be an enquiry into where the benefit payments are going
Unicef, a known left wing leaning organisation, have given £25k to Southwark Council where child obesity is the problem not starvation. So, yes, it could be a political stunt, who knows?
Exactly this, I cant see anyone, even the most ardent brexiteer having a problem putting brexit on hold until we get control of this pandemic. It's totally irresponsible to continue at this time.
I really cant understand how people could even get annoyed at 25k going to poverty stricken children, whether it's a political stunt or not. I get more annoyed at millions upon millions going to companies providing useless equipment during the pandemic with no tender necessary. Just a wink and a nudge. I suppose my priorities must be cuckoo
Welcome back, Bob. Embarrass the government into moving to a more socialist state which takes responsibility for bringing up voters' children No child should ever be hungry. Assessing whether they are, and where, and why with a welfare state, are crucial questions that must be answered
