Boris and his lockdown birthday party

Germanshepherdsmum

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.

My NHS daughter didn’t nor did her collègues, they were too busy working, trying to find food before arriving home striping off, putting clothes in the washing machine and then showering.

You appear to have a low opinion of your fellow citizens' and leaders' moral values Urmstongran.

Maybe. Or just a realistic one. And not just in the UK.

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

Oh, I think Josephine and I would have welcomed even that, FannyCornforth.

Lovely photo of you both, janeainsworth.

So I'll ask again....did you read my post about Ardern?

I'm not too bothered about people in other countries. They didn't have anything to do with voting for Johnson - they're a distraction.

I'm glad the people I know don't have the same kind of morals as they people you seem to know. I set my bar somewhat higher.

Johnson's mistress brought the cake, not one of the CSs. What was she doing in the Cabinet Office when we were all supposed to be avoiding each other like the plague and she isn't a civil servant employed to work there?

And what was the 'designer' of wildly overpriced tat doing there?

There was nothing at all innocent about this

Blimey! I did hear that he has two mistresses on the go, but I dismissed it?. I feel sorry for him he must be entirely sexually incontinent??.

^I bet those ‘in charge’ during times of restrictions (the elite if you like) always flout the rules.^

Did you read my post about Ardern?

I did indeed Alegrias. The sainted Jacinta Ardern has ended up with such a dog’s dinner over in NZ with her aim for ‘zero Covid’ she is wearing the equivalent of a hair shirt. Weddings are allowed. Of course they are. Others are no doubt getting wed. But for her to be seen in the media having a fun day after all the restrictions she’s imposed? Nope. Not a good look. She’s savvy enough to realise that. Boris should have done likewise. Kept his head down. Been compliant with the rules. Especially with ‘eyes everywhere’ these days. The dummy. Surely he ought to have known (or been advised) to be squeaky clean n his premiership. Beyond stupid.

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!

Doodledog ???

Paul Brand ITV political editor broke this story, his husband is a civil servant at No.10.

I am deeply suspicious as to why these stories have been sat on until now.

That's an interesting point GrannyGravy13. Why do you think the stories might only now be coming to light?

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?

I think MaizieD just meant that Carrie wasn’t married to Boris at the time of the parties WWmk2. Not that there was another mistress there!

X posts FannyCornforth.

JaneAinsworth Fab photo. You must have been a child bride!

Well you here you go, the police will be investigating these Parties at No 10.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

So Sue Gray……….

Will this be delayed as a result of police investigation?

Very convenient isn’t it?

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.
