Boris Johnson apologises after admitting he attended Downing Street garden party in lockdown

  1. He didn’t admit to attending a party though. He admitted to going into the garden thinking it was a ‘work event’ and going back inside after 25 minutes.

    Edit: comments seem to imply that I was defending Johnson, when I was merely quoting him to clarify that he never actually acknowledged knowingly attending a party, thus his apology is meaningless

  2. Oh well everything is right with the world and good old Boris can get back to doing a stellar job of running the country now this nonsense has been put behind us. /s for the hard of thinking.

  3. What a cowardly ‘apology’

    He’s digging in and going nowhere – the man doesn’t give a fuck

    Keeps saying to wait for the enquiry – he’s a cunt

  4. He did not apologise, he is repeatedly saying that he is sorry people saw it that way and that he believes it was within the rules.

  5. Worries me that he keeps saying we should wait for the result of the inquiry as if he’s been briefed that he’s going to get away with it.

  6. man even after I still don’t think the conservative party has the balls to make him resign

  7. Got an invite to a party. Attended party.

    Didn’t know it was a party.

    This guy. He is beyond contempt.

    Either a business meeting at Downing Street always looks like a piss up – plausible….

    Or the parties at Downing Street are so shit they look like business meetings – also plausible….

  8. Stick that apology right up your arse Johnson.

    Also, he saw all that booze and thought it was a work meeting? What does that say about how they do business day to day?

  9. It’s odd that an enquiry would be needed when the person requesting the enquiry has absolute knowledge of the wrong doing committed.

    Hmm… could it be a case of having an enquiry and hoping by the time there are results that no one gives a sh*t by then, by any chance?

  10. I see we are at the “I did it, but I didn’t mean it” part of lying out of your lying scruffy face.

    He is marching through the narcissists prayer like a champ.

  11. Dare I ask when the rioting starts?

    Oh wait, we’re in the UK. Any other country in Europe and people would be on the streets by tonight.

  12. Okay, let’s break this down.

    “I want to apologise,” Mr Johnson said, adding that he “must take responsibility” for events that took place.

    Get fucked.

    The prime minister admitted he “went into that garden just after 6pm on 20 May 2020 to thank groups of staff” before going back into his office “25 minutes later”.

    Bullshit.

    “I believed implicitly that this was a work event,” he told the Commons.

    Then you’re fucking stupider than you look, you blonde haired prick.

    Keir: “Why does the prime minister still think that the rules don’t apply to him?”

    Labour still being the voice of reason here.

  13. What I learned from this statement.

    1. Boris is too incompetent to know if an event is a work event or not.
    2. Clapping rewards the NHS but not Spads and Party Faithful.
    3. That the Tories all wear masks performatively for ‘apologies’.
    4. That Boris wants to apologise and fails – *upwards* – to do so.
    5. That the enquiry remains a way to pretend you are innocent.
    6. That the Tory Party are all as bad as each other.

  14. I turned up for 25 mins, got pissed with everyone else, didn’t realise it was a party, could happen to anyone… – Boris fucking Johnson, probably.

  15. He’s gone. He’s now being kept in as a scapegoat for the rest of the pandemics duration and then the Tories will get rid of him. They aren’t going to sacrifice the next election for Boris

  16. Two weeks after this I was waiting for over an hour in a hospital car park while my pregnant wife was in labour on the assessment ward. I was allowed to join her in the birthing suite and could stay for a couple of hours after the birth before being kicked out.

    I know many people have much worse stories than this but the point is that we all sacrificed things for the greater good while these fuckwits were living it up getting pissed and laughing at us plebs.

  17. Boris Johnson held a party while he made sure people died alone. What kind of cold heartless person does that?

  18. Given how this is being played out as death by a thousand cuts, I’m waiting for someone to now leak the video clip of him dancing around the garden at 11pm with a bottle of champagne in each hand.

  19. > “I believed implicitly that this was a work event.”

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the defense that the entirety of the UK population needs to remember should there be any further restrictions.

  20. Everyone wants BoJo to resign but what people don’t realise is whoever replaces him is probably not going to be any better.

    It’s still the Tory government.

  21. I was having cancer treatment in May 2020.
    Every day I had to go into hospital alone and spend 8 hours having treatment.
    I did it alone because I had to, because the government told me too.
    I did it to protect other people in the hospital.
    I was scared, alone and felt like absolute shit.

    They held parties. Then, they lied about it.
