Not condoning the PM in any way, but all of the tv presenters journalists and uncle tom cobly and all, how many can say hand on heart they have obeyed the laws and rules 100%.
I firmly believe that a similar scandal would have cropped up no matter which party was in power. The current government's ability to shoot themselves in the foot is, however, incredible. They should realise that breaking their own rules undermines them and makes the unthinking public less likely to follow those rules.
That's exactly what you're doing .... ... Tom Cobly isn't the elected leader telling everyone in the country how to behave.
They knew they'd be caught out but are so arrogant they just don't care tbh. Laughing about us behind or backs was bad enough ... ... now they're laughing in our faces.
He does need replacing. I agree with that. What has happened is indefensible. I do think Labour voters are shooting themselves in the foot with this one, though. Remove Boris Johnson and you unite the Tory party. A strong Tory party is guaranteed to beat Labour in an election.
problem being, they have ALL been found out to be lying bassas and not just the current PM...with the basic choice of corrupt tory or corrupt labour being offered how can we ever hope for change, people would rather have a go at the 'bloke next door' for having a different opinion than realise the country needs one massive change and the only chance of that is if everyone stands together, form a new party that will not become corrupt and uncover the years of abuse the system has had due to the current bunch. they had us fighting against those of a different colour, they had us fighting over those of a different religion, they had us fighting over those of differing sexualities, they have us fighting over vaccinations, there have been many more 'us and them' scenarios of course, grass your neighbours for claiming benefits falsely, grass your neighbours for selling cheap smokes and drinks, grass your neighbours for having too many people round at lock down, etc etc etc. they will do ANYTHING to make sure no new parties get even a sniff of getting into power, unless they sign up to the corrupt as feck brigade and promise not to grass the rest of them up.
I'm triple jabbed and regularly tested. I couldn't go to the funeral of a close friend and didn't see my new grandson until he was six moths old. I missed my club winning a Wembley final. Not all the PM's fault but I don't like the way he's laughed his way through it all tbh .. ... the pandemic doesn't seem to have affected his life at all.
by the way... with three vulnerable adults we tried desperately hard to stick to the rules, the better half never went shopping without a mask even though many working in shops and customers did not bother, she washed down all the bags that came into the house (used the same ones over and over) and washed down any containers/food that came in, constant washing of hands was the order of the day...we missed family get togethers, we had no one calling and we walked on a night to avoid as many as possible, if we did stop to chat we all stood more than any 6 feet apart...it was obviously far from easy and i know many who had relatives in care homes and hospital who could not even get to visit them and now i am wondering why the hell we all bothered, was it just another tory p1ss take of the poor people or what, two jabs and now get a booster to see how far we would bend over if they told us too?
That headline is disgustingly vague and it makes it sound like he might have had a beer in the workplace which of course isn't the same thing as going to a garden party. I can't tell. What's the story there?
This was in Durham when we were in full lockdown and all indoor social gatherings were banned. Regardless if it was just a beer in the workplace, it was banned.
It was in a constituency office during an election he was working at. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14826418/keir-starmer-beer-indoor-gathering/
