This post sounds unbelievably complacent. The UK has not seen a knifing epidemic like it for centuries. Sure, there was a localised Glasgow problem, but that was the exception. Gangs, whether Teddy boys, Mods, Rockers, Skinheads, Punks did not go around killing each other - the use of a knife was incredibly rare. It was mostly boot and fist. The Teds used razors. Even organised crime rarely used lethal weapons when there was a death penalty. They disfigured enemies with a cut throat razor to the face.

There is a countrywide problem with knives now. In London, it's pretty much a black thing. Black boys are killing other black boys for the most spurious reasons. I'm heartened that there seems to be a groundswell of repulsion from the black community (I saw this in Croydon) that is prepared to hold its nose and work with the Met police to bring an end to it. So many young lives are being lost now, often kids not directly involved with gangs. Stainsey is absolutely right, this is a major problem.

On a serious note
People just need to move on. More important things than a party to worry about...

I agree with you, Ellers, but the party situation does have to be addressed or the electorate will feel cheated. The question is when? Police investigations move extremely slowly. Calling for police involvement really was a shoot-myself-in-the-foot move by those opposed to Boris Johnson.

You can say all politicans lie... however I don't see it as lying. They are just not so economical with the truth.
I don't think Boris actually lies. I agree with his old adviser who said on the news 2 days ago that Boris is aloof to things. He is a visionary and wants to do the right things but sadly Boris is Boris. He has a million and one things going on and probably didnt even think that having a drink in the garden was a party. He also said as PM he has advisers leading him around all day saying "now you need to do this/that.
This is all about trying bringing down Boris/Tories because of Brexit. Sadly we have a country with many people who cannot accept the result and it has been a well planned drip fed assasination of his character.
Sadly for them it has backfired. People will move on... well maybe not Captain Hindsight and the awful opposition.

Sadly Goldie it won't matter to some what the verdict of the report says.

Surely, if the police want to prosecute anyone, the Gray report could prejudice a fair trial...

How? There wont be a trial Goldy, no jury, its just guilty or not guilty followed by fixed penalty notices. Its a load of bollox, how often do we read of crimes reported well before a trial actually happens. Its a whitewash, simple as that
