Boris Johnson makes last-ditch bid to discredit Partygate probe

8 comments
  1. He will discredit it until he dies. In his eyes, he did no wrong and it was everyone else who was to blame. I bet his schoolmasters heard it from a young age, claiming “An older boy made me do it, sir. I swear!” for even the smallest misdemeanour. Johnson does not have an honest bone in his body and cannot imagine that he is not on the right side of history. He is deluded and everything he says should be treated with scepticism.

  2. Daily Reminder.

    Jean-Quatremer is a french journalist. He has been the Brussels correspondent for the french newspaper Liberation for 30 years. Here is how he described Boris Johnson.

    >**Boris Johnson: A buffoon capable of anything**

    >The election of Boris Johnson as the new UK Prime Minister is making headlines. It’s an opportunity to discuss the past of this cynical individual who became famous in the 90s.

    >At the time, before entering UK politics, Boris Johnson was a journalist. He lived in Brussels for 5 years as the correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, and that’s how I got to personally know him.

    >He was sort of a celebrity in Brussels. Everyone in the European press knew him and thought he was a real joke. The rich son of a senior EU bureaucrat, Boris didn’t hesitate to manufacture completely outrageous stories. More shockingly, his lies seemed supported by the editors of the Daily Telegraph.

    >He once told me *”Never let facts get in the way of a good story”*. Among his articles, he informed readers that the police wanted to check the shape of bananas, that coffins will all look the same, or that shrimps could be banned.

    >On a personal level, he is super sociable, always ready to help friends in need, and he loves having fun. Boris always came up to me asking his famous sentence *”What’s the story today, Jean?”*

    >He sounds like a clown but make no mistake, he is a pure product of the Oxbridge Elite. He has an immense culture and shouldn’t be underestimated. A Spanish journalist once spotted him reading book in Ancient Greek.

    >Do not think that this man is some angry ideologue who hates Europe or dreams of building some new Reich. On the contrary, Boris Johnson has no ideology at all. Here is a man who doesn’t seem to believe in anything and is a pure opportunist

  3. Putin arrest warrant

    Rumours of Trump being arrested imminently

    Johnson hopefully being punished

    Did we switch back to the normal timeline instead of the clown fiesta timeline we’ve been in for the last decade?

  4. Bloody nose fir Boris!

    No wait, that was his mum after she served Stanley a boiled egg without soldiers.

  5. Not much detail in the article, but his defence is going to be that there is absolutely no evidence of any of his juniors (i.e. anyone) having said explicitly

    > Mr. PM Sir, this gathering that you are going to attend is a party and against the rules

    and, what’s more, that there is absolutely no evidence of any of his juniors (i.e. anyone) having said explicitly

    > Mr. PM Sir, this statement that you are preparing to make in the HoC is not true

    Shocking how *they* are trying to lynch him despite this clear-cut evidence of his good judgement and probity!

  6. Bozo is making an absolute killing on the speaker tours, £4million+ including a for a book. Guy needs to pissoff out of politics. He will be found in contempt I think

  7. This week’s number 2 in the top 40 singles chart is called ‘boys a liar’. Perhaps someone in the hearing should ‘accidentally’ leave their phone on and have it as their ringtone.
