Boris and his lockdown birthday party

The truth is that she needs to go as well.
She seems to have little control over her officers.

As Johnson supported Dick when she was under immense criticism I won't hold my breath for her to oversee an honest and transparent investigation. I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine.

Just read OP. Unbelievable! or maybe not...

Everyone knows what sort of character Johnson is - there's no need to analyse his handwriting.

What a nice photo Janeainsworth. Love your dress.

I do think the dates are relevant and should be noted because things changed considerably over 2020.

When Boris wrote to Josephine it was 21 Mar 2020 which was a very scary time. We were just going into our first lockdown and you could literally feel the fear in the air. We were entering the unknown. Everything went silent, even the birds weren't singing. It was totally right to cancel any kind of gathering at that time.

By Boris's birthday 19 Jun things were different. We had workmen calling to do jobs at our house. I went on a house viewing with my daughter the following day. People were behaving more normally, although still taking precautions of course.

His handwriting is the least problematic part of all these issues as far as I am concerned, Doctors, Lawyers and many other professionals are noted for their pretty illegible handwriting. I'm very angry at all Boris has done, but I would not be putting his writing top of my list of what I am annoyed about.

You jump on me all the bluddy time MaizieD. You do it constantly and it’s rude. I was quite aware it had already been mentioned. If I post something that hasn’t I put ‘Breaking News’ at the start of my post. In this instance I was just highlighting was Cressida Dick had said in the interview.

Johnson should be ashamed of himself.

How much Met time will be spent investigating his many parties and breaking of the rules - it's not like they have nothing else to do.

“I can confirm that the Met is now investigating a number of events that took place at Downing Street and Whitehall in the last two years in relation to potential breaches of Covid-19 regulations," Dame Cressida has said.

Is this repetition of what someone else has already told us done for the benefit of those among us who can't hold a thought in their heads for more than 20 seconds, Ug? 'Fraid you're a bit late with the gossip today...

P.S I don't think Johnson is a fool. I think that those who voted for him are fools..

Good.
I’m surprised the groups weren’t ‘spoken to’ by the Met Police in attendance at the time. I wonder why?

Because every Met police officer knows it's bad manners to talk with your mouth full of cake.

Cressida Dick has just announced that the Met are investigating potential breaches of the law uncovered by Sue Gray.

She's done her level best to avoid it but I don't think she has any choice in the matter now. Especially as Sue Gray was taking evidence from her own officers yesterday.

So Sue Gray……….

Will this be delayed as a result of police investigation?

Very convenient isn’t it?

Some high-ranking Met officers there too Mmm. No surprise there then !

Whitewave I think that Maizie meant that Carrie was Johnson’s ‘mistress’ at the time.
I would have said ‘girlfriend’.
It wasn’t Jennifer Arcuri who bought the cake.
Or am I missing something?

Oh thanks ?

Met just announced that it is FINALLY investigating the events.

ABout time.

They haven’t come out of this exactly smelling of roses have they?

I’m not a Johnson fan by any means, but it’s normal to share cakes with colleagues in the office when it’s your birthday so if this lot (apart from the decorator) were working together anyway this one doesn’t particularly bother me.

Yes, it well might be but we were in lockdown, the Government and advisers made the rules, broke them but blatantly used small children like Josephine to ensure the the rest of us obeyed them.

I'm not saying the rules were wrong but those who impose laws and rules on the rest of us must lead by example!

I'm spitting tacks.

We are typing at one today Urms!

Oh good
It’s on JOB now

Good.

Surely thirty people singing in one room was a tad unwise, no matter what you call the event? ?
