I understand that a lot of people were fined a lot of money for doing, apparently, a lot less than Boris and /or his entourage. I wonder who is going to reimburse them.

I disagree with most of your politics Sam, but this article is both spot on, and entertaining to boot.

Boris Johnson is finished whatever the result of the enquiry. Once a prime minister loses his credibility it is downhill all the way. If he doesn’t go now he will definitely go after the May elections. From the point of view of the conservatives’ fortunes, the sooner the better.

Former New York Governor and former Uber Hero of the left used this strategy: we must wait for the report….He’s gone now, as is his media star brother, so their very popular and completely untrue (massive lies on Corona stats) clown show is no more.
Ultimately, Cuomo was unable to run out the clock, as I suggest Boris will be here. The errors so egregious, so stunning, so subject to cheeky mockery–liquor sections of stores being renamed “Office Supplies”–that Boris deserves to go. There are no words for the hypocrisy of the elites, and I like Tory policies much more than crazy, communist, anti-Semitic Labour, but Boris can no longer be the vessel to move these policies forward.
No one is “bringing down” the PM. This is an own goal, and his team deserves to lose.

It’s just basic PR strategy for dealing with the media. Unfortunately for Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings knows something beyond this to the dark arts of keeping a controversy live.
Pretty much every company worth its salt have people like this and onecwould be advised to follow these techniques if one was ever to have the misfortune to be caught up in a topic of interest tovthe press.

Disobeying the lockdown rules is about the Only thing I respect of Boris.
The Lockdown was NOTHING to do with health as it was claimed. Boris et-al forced them on the nation, causing irreparable harm, wrecking the lives of millions of young (wait till you see the economic results will mean the end of pensions for the next generations) Because the Elite told him to.
The Elite went from exceedingly wealthy and powerful to Ultra Wealthy and Powerful. They harvested the savings and earnings of the workers – AND made them their Bi* ches, by the covid response.
Boris, and EVERY politico, knew the lockdowns were totally to hand over $$$$ and global power to the Global Elites – nothing else, but still they did them – who knows quite why, either they Must obey – or they are promised their reward for betraying their nations and people….
Naturally the Politicos did not obey lockdowns if no one was watching – it was 100% a charade, it was merely a mechanism of the uber powerful to rob the workers and take their political power.
That they danced and drank as their people were being robbed and enslaved is to be expected – as the lockdown rules were NOTHING to do with health.

If the civil servants in Downing Street hold parties it is for the civil service to decide what happens to them. Boris Johnson attended one in May and stayed 20-25 minutes and for that he has apologised but if he did not attend any of the others, then he has not broken the code. The staff would be in a bubble there to which he is added. This is all a lot of fuss about nothing. The “Remainers” still at it!!.
