Boris and his lockdown birthday party

Of course it doesn’t matter how long the party lasted. We were all told that people could only go inside the house to access the garden, and if memory serves, people were arguing about whether this included using the loo.

What sort of adult (never mind a parent) denies seven year olds a party and then has one himself? And capitalising on the fact that Josephine cancelled her party by tweeting his ‘supportive’ reply is the icing on the birthday cake!

It’s not the party itself that’s at issue, nor the length of time it went on - although parties were either dangerous or they weren’t - it’s the sheer disregard for the sacrifices other people were making that’s so galling.

NB I am not say that Esspee is being misleading, I’m referring to the media.

BlueBelle I quite agree with you. But I do think that saying that Johnson had a ‘birthday party’ is somewhat misleading

It doesn’t matter if his ‘party’ lasted five minutes FC ….it happened when no one else could, it’s the blatant hypocrisy of it all that bites everyone so much YOU CANNOT make a rule and then take no notice of it yourself The ‘decorator’ was there so it wasn’t even just people he was working with

You are setting a great example Johnson writes says it all doesn’t it !!!

Unfortunately it’s not that great though. I’d prefer something a bit more in depth

MayBee Google Boris Johnson handwriting analysis. There’s quite a bit online.
Off to read now!

Jane you look both beautiful and fabulous!

The PM’s handwriting is interesting. (I’m a bit of an amateur handwriting analyst)

Exactly what I thought. Someone who studies handwriting could tell us a thing or two about his personality from that.

I am the furthest that you can get from an apologist for Johnson; but reading about his ‘party’, it certainly doesn’t sound like my idea of a party.
It only lasted 30 minutes. It sounds more like a lunch break with a cake and a sing song

Anyone see Peter Bone on Sky News again saying that people in his constituency haven’t complained to him at all about the parties and virtually accusing Peter Kyle of lying when he said that many people are talking about it.

I'm shocked at the PM's handwriting! Couldn't he have used lined paper underneath to follow when he's writing. That was what we were always taught to do. His writing has gone completely off the rails, maybe he was drunk at the time.??

Me and MrA at our Golden Wedding party, July 2020.

Our guests all notable by their absence!

Dear Josephine

I am a bit older than you, in fact ten times older than you! My special birthday party was postponed too because we were not allowed to meet people.

We both behaved very well, didn't we, not breaking the rules, and I hope you have managed to enjoy your postponed birthday with lots of your friends by now ??????

With love from Callistemon

Ps Boris is a two faced hypocrite (do you know what that means? I expect Mummy or Daddy will explain)

Have a look at the pics. He is such a hypocrite.
