Boris and his lockdown birthday party

So much that has happened within the government over last few years has annoyed me but not as much as this. For my daughter’s we (nervously) arranged an outside party for 7. I say nervously because I think at the time it was supposed to be 5 maximum outside. The weather on the day was dreadful - torrential rain and gale force winds. I went out the day before and purchased a tarpaulin which we battled with but successfully managed to tie securely to the pergola so at least we could stay as dry as possible. On the day of the ‘party’ we sat outside for 3 hours wrapped in blankets with the fire pit burning to try to keep us warm. It infuriates me that those people who attended however many parties were held have such disregard for the ‘common people’. Yet it’s us that keep them in their jobs.

It doesn’t matter how long he was there, it was not allowed but I am not surprised that he and the others broke the rules that he made. He has to go and any other MPs that continue to support him need to be removed from office as well at the earliest opportunity.

Em if you going to start a post at least do it correctly. If you call ten minutes a party you need to get out more.

It was just ten minutes with a cake…it was just a few staff in the garden….it was just a childcare bubble….it was just wine and cheese…it was just a Christmas quiz…it was just…it was just…it was just not what everyone else was fucking doing.

This above quote should answer you question.

This is all media lead and the drip drip of poison from Cummings so the people in his office bought a birthday cake in what is wrong with that if they all work together day in and day out I really can't see the problem

Personally I’m a bit fed up with the amount of time being spent discussing these parties. Is any other work being done? We have Ukraine, energy costs and numerous other important issues to deal with. I wish the media would let Sue Gray and the Met police get on with what they need to do and let the Government get on with their work

All I can say is - what a disgusting, lying, self serving arsehole that man is. He makes me feel ill. And I'm appalled that he is the prime minister of our country.

If he edits the report due to come out today..
time for a real revolution

The rules were clear. Johnson broke them frequently and did he mislead Parliament?
Let’s not start wondering if the rules were wrong. They were what we had. Malcolm Tucker has it right

No one is suggesting the school visit breached rules
It’s all the other breaches thst

I don't understand why a school visit wasn't against the rules but standing with your work colleagues in the garden was against the rules.

It's not about whether the rules make sense, it's about whether they were broken

I did WWmk2 and I wasn’t impressed by her either. As you say, robotic. She sounded wary.

Mind you have to laugh when you think Hurley Burley and ‘my sources tell me’ Beth Rigby were both suspended from SKY news for months after birthday partying together with friends during that same lockdown period.

Awkward. I’d be embarrassed doing these interviews but they aren’t. “Will you resign Prime Minister?”

???

Good job they didn’t make the rules that they broke eh!??

He and Peter Bone are the only Conservative MP’s stupid enough to give interviews about it at the moment…oh, and JRM but his is just an attitude of pure arrogance.

Liz Truss was interviewed by Kay Burley this morning on SKY news.

Oh yes did you see it? It was horrendous.

Truss seems to have become a robot after taking elocution lessons.

There is no way that she could be considered the next leader.

Bizarre

Our Golden Wedding party didn’t happen either!

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

Our guests all notable by their absence!

Ours was on 29th of May- we were supposed to come over to England to celebrate with the family, adding my 70th and his 75th in the big number. And of course we had to cancel and be on our own.

Compared to what some had to endure with loved ones dying on their own- no comparison, at all.

Surely the school visit can't have broken the rules in place at the time?

I thought the issue was with a birthday party at No 10 so why are they publishing pictures taken at a school? And why all the silly comments about him and the woman?

Because it was taken at a school he visited on his birthday. Do you need any other reason?

I do wonder, when I see pictures like these, how hard/easy it is for schools/hospitals/factories to refuse a visit from Johnson or any other PM. I should imagine in some instances it could lead to substantial political fallout for the refuser.

And I'm also reminded of the card I used to carry (above) when Thatcher was keen on hospital visits.

It was Northern Ireland Minister Conor Burns. I think that it was on Nick Ferarri

Lots of cake jokes on twitter after a tory MP claimed that Johnson was ambushed by the cake....
