I am generally by nature and instinct a small ‘c’ conservative. Some will say I’m also a small ‘c’ something else, but we’ll leave that for now.

We haven’t had a proper conservative government for donkey’s years. This Tory administration is nothing like one. Neither was Cameron’s. They don’t believe in proper conservative values, some of which I believe were important to the Red Wall voters. Labour do not offer an alternative, only pretty much the same but harder, deeper, longer (oo-er missus)… and that’s not just on Covid.

I will no longer vote for the Conservative Party. I will no longer vote Least Worst. None of these people represent me and my values, so I shall not be endorsing them.

We need a ‘none of the above’ box on the ballot form so we can see how many people want to register their displeasure of the bozos put before them.

Hopefully Johnson and his cronies are now toast. Why support this duplicity? We’re better than that.

Welcome to the club.

And this is the best that Captain Hindsight can come out with...
Keir Starmer: “Unfortunately we’ve got a prime minister who is socially distanced from the truth.”

My response to that is we have an opposition who is socially distanced from the voters.

What more can Johnson possibly add that would make him look even slightly better?!
The public feeling over this is quite astounding.
 
Im really hoping, for the sake and sanity of this country that Johnson just ****s off ! We deserve so much better
Bob there is no evidence he was even there. Just wait for him to explain at PMQS before you condemn him.

He explained last week mate by saying no guidelines were broken, all rules were followed. I really just want him to **** off and be replaced by a serious politician within the party. This isnt me Tory bashing but Johnson bashing instead.

We all know what his answer at PMQ's will be, its his same answer to every question.
'We are delivering on the peoples priorities, levelling up'.
Even thats worn thin now.

He never referred to himself being there. He just said no guidelines were broken after being briefed.
You need to calm down mate and wait until PMQS. You will get the answer there if he tells porkies he will breach ministerial code in house which would mean resignation.
If he bullsh@ts and avoids the questions then you will get the answer you crave. Only problem is that the opposition are so weak Captain Hindsight will probably ask questions about power cuts in ScotlanD

This has just come in “the PM neither endorsed it or attended it”
So if it was staff they will get sacked.

I wonder whos getting thrown under the bus?
 
So news coming in that Boris wasn't even there!
Is this another poor attempt to discredit the PM?
 
At least Boris wasnt at the party that never happened, the thing where everyone followed the rules despite not even happening. What an absolute farce this is turning out to be hey
 
He does a great job of that himself.
The point is mate if he wasn't even there and a few staff had cheese a biscuits why are people attacking him?
Now I am not Columbo and I don't know if he was there or not but if wasn't there, than this is another non story. Point is, they are now saying he wasn't present so I would believe that to be the case as if he has lied then he is toast.

Not a farce bob. You just can't accept the truth because it goes against what you want to hear.
If he wasn't present then it's a non-story. Don’t get the hump about it mate as I'm sure something else about Boris will be leaked in a few days... drip drip.
 
I said the same yesterday Goldie. We need to wait and hear it from Boris. That video going around was not even a live thing but a system check. An off air thing. Bloody hell you should hear what I say when We check equipment.
I also think it was interesting what a Tory MP said today regarding a ‘Barnard Castle’ moment. I reckon Cummings is involved with this somewhere.
As the news said this morning “PMQS will be interesting”.

I usually sing 'London Girls' by Chas & Dave when my mic is sound checked. :biggrin:

He lies constantly and isn’t toast yet so I don’t see why one more lie would hurt.

People missed saying goodbye to their family members for the last time because they had to follow the rules. Many were fined £10k for having the exact same gathering as what went on at Downing St. The rule makers themselves have very clearly taken the piss and are literally laughing about it.
