It’s his own fault for not having an excel spreadsheet open
He shouldn’t ask for his money back he should make an official complaint to the police and inform them of illegal parties taking place arranged by a fat twat.
And he would be correct if Boris and the people who attended the party are not also handed fines.
He broke the rules paid the fine, if everyone is not held to the same account he should receive his money back.
I wonder if the whichever authority fined him waited for the results of the official inquiry before administrating the fines.
Firstly this guy’s an idiot. Secondly he has a good point
“They got away with it so I should too.”. Typical bullshit British attitude of not taking responsibility.
Boris and his gang of cronies should absolutely be punished, as should everybody else that flaunted the rules at the time.
I imagine the country would be in a much better state now if people weren’t so happy to fob off their social responsibilities.
He’d have a point if the met refuse to investigate and prosecut
I can get my head around his reasoning, i suppose. Still two wrongs do not make a right.
The vast majority of this country made real sacrifices to help curb covid while they tory ##### were having parties. The press should draw more attention to what the majority of us were going through at that time though and less on a things like the above. It was heartbreaking seeing that MP talking about his MIL.
The fact this guy was ever fined is an absolute joke. These rules were a pisstake.
All these calls for Johnson to resign – no, he needs to be on trial along with every other fucker who attended that party. And then sacked.
I really hope Boris tries to implement some new measures and as a country we tell him to do one and carry on as normal. They need to know that they are taking the piss now.
Should’ve had 300 mates over and said it was a Tory party fund business fund raiser.
If the law does not apply to the prime minister, it does not apply to us. Simples.
I’m fairly surprised that you can just impose such rules on people and fine them for breaking them.
Like are we not free? Are we subjugated and can the prime minister just decide to rip away our basic freedoms??
My favourite is the brexit’ voters who wanted laws to be made within this country and then didn’t stick to them. They also criticised the unelected beurocrats in the EU and now say that the government here are corrupt and all the same despite also voting Tory.
He forgot the cheese and wine to make it a real work meeting.
They need to fine the people who attended the party at number 10. £10K for the organiser and £100 for everyone else. They set the laws so they should be applied to them.
Absolutely fair enough. I don’t agree with what he did but as it turns out, saying sorry should have been enough, so the government owe him £100 now.
Personally think every single fine given out should be refunded. Can’t fine people for breaking rules when the person who implemented them consistently also broke them
It’s his own fault – if he would have just told the Police it was a “work event”, he wouldn’t have got fined.
Why did he even let the police in his house to fine him?
Second I would of said yea there my uncles or brother etc they live here
I want all the money from my speeding tickets back, then 🤣
I mean to be fair as much as I disagree with all parties here I can’t blame him.
It occurs to me that his friends were actually acting as responsible mental health carers. So the fine is questionable to begin with.
Shouldn’t Boris get a £10k fine (assuming at least a third of the 100 people invited, turned up)?
MPs breaking a law doesn’t make that law invalid. It makes the MPs criminals.
MPs getting away with breaking a law doesn’t make that law invalid. It means we shouldn’t rest until those MPs resign.
I was definitely meeting a few people in the park for beers by early summer 2020. May have been more June time though. Within guidelines IIRC.
By the picture, I thought it was 3 “yerba mates”, the drink!
