Boris Johnson’s flimsy and feeble Partygate apology to MPs

  1. Always enjoy a good John Crace article when he’s got something to sink his teeth into.

    > It’s not about the cake. It’s not even about the booze. Though they sure as hell make it look a whole lot worse. It’s about the fact that the Convict never thought for a minute that the rules limiting social gatherings applied to him or his crew.

    It’s not even about the rules, in my opinion. It’s the lying to parliament that’s unforgivable.

  2. Fuck you Boris you scumbag.

    Families torn apart whilst you guzzle booze on OUR coin.

    You bloody well know you were in the wrong. So do all your idiot staff. You knew then and you know now.

    Should have your assets seized and you should be left out in the cold.

    Fucking scumbag.

  3. >Even so, almost all Tory MPs managed to come out in the Convict’s support. But their words were meaningless. These weren’t the Tory A-listers who you would want on your side – they were the nodding donkeys. The vain and the stupid who will say almost anything that’s put in front of them. Fools like Edward Leigh and Michael Fabricant. Imagine the shame of having them on your side. Only Mark Harper had the guts to say it was time for the prime minister to take a hike.

    There be a whiff of a disaster like that of when the Tories decided to shield Owen Paterson, in the air:

  4. johnson always seems to answer questions with “we need to get on with the job at hand”. what exactly is this job at hand?
