Barryd999 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 John52 - 2022-01-17 10:35 AM Barryd999 - 2022-01-10 9:39 PM Turns out it was a party after all and not a works event and of course Johnson was there. Lock em up! Lock em up! Nearly 500 people died that day of Covid. Shocking. https://www.lbc.co.uk/politics/leaked-email-signals-boozy-lockdown-busting-party-at-no10-on-may-20-last-year/ But what does any of this prove? We already knew Johnson is a lying hypocrite. He has been through worse than this Anyone listening to the phone recording of him promising a crook to get the address of an investigative journalist so he could be beaten up would have thought Johnson was finished then But he went on to become Prime Minister. Even if you had voted for him and the Tories back in 2019 in some mad desire to "get Brexit done" how could you look yourself in the mirror everyday if you are still supporting them and him now? Its just wrong. You are actually guilty by association of being morally bankrupt, untrustworthy and unpatriotic if your still supporting him and this regime now.

CurtainRaiser Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Home Office staff ‘mingled and drank prosecco’ during lockdown Home Office staff “mingled” and drank prosecco in their office during lockdown last year. The gathering has been described as around a dozen of the department’s press and events team “mingling” while enjoying “prosecco at desks” to celebrate a Home Office immigration policy leading the six o’clock news. The drinks, confirmed by a Home Office spokesperson, were held on March 24 2021 – just days after a man in Warwickshire was fined £100 for sitting in his garden with three friends.

Perhaps this is why Starmer has said we wont be rejoining and we have to move on from Brexit. He saw this day coming. "The most remarkable politician of our age"........jeeez, that journo is from another planet! 8-) I would certainly say that Boris IS remarkable. Not remarkable for necessarily good reasons. I have always thought of him as being more than just a loose cannon - more of a loose battleship. I’ve never liked him. I’ve always felt he plays the buffoon as he inherently knows that is what he is. I’m sure he is intelligent, certainly well read. But being both of these is no guarantee of being wise. But given the circumstances - as a choice between Corbin and May - he was by far the best of a very poor bunch. May kept telling us all how hard she was working - but we could all see she was failing. Corbyn is a Luny lefty with no idea other than to advocate destroying everything and then building a socialist El Dorado out of the rubble. You pick on the Guardian but then spout tripe straight out of the Tory supporting rags. Anyone would have been a better choice than Johnson and remember Corbyn was never going to win an outright majority. It would have been a coalition. As for May well. Some on here called her the sainted Theresa once upon a time. See if you can guess which member that was. She failed because she tried to find a solution that was impossible to find because the square pegs of Brexit would never fit the round holes and neither side could agree. All Johnson did was take over, run the clock down then at the last minute put through her deal anyway with his name on and a Border down the Irish sea. Something he and May both said no PM would ever do. He didnt succeed in anything new, he just run out of time. The rest of the small print of the terrible deal was just copied and pasted from some treaty from the 90s. Johnson was never the best option ever out of anyone across the entire political spectrum but fair play to him, he conned a nation (including you) into thinking that he was the best choice.

Can you tell us in your own words which of Corbyn's policies you disagreed with and why? ....Or are you just regurgitating the Character Asassination you read in the Tory press? You talk of “character assassination” of one politician - whilst you constantly try to do exactly this on another. I’m no fan of politicians per se - and I’m certainly not going to get drawn into a debate on Corbyn. But I will say that I hold both Corbyn and Boris in equal contempt. Along with the rest of them. As for you - go try your Troll games on someone who resides on your low level. I'm guessing you don't want to acknowledge how many of Corbyn's policies have been adopted by the Tories? Let's look at some of those radical policies. Nationalise the railways - its happening in every thing but name, except that train operating companies will be paying a dividend to shareholders from the subsidy they receive instead reinvesting it, but there will be no competition between companies to drive prices down for customers. Electric companies, renationalised on failure with the taxpayer picking up the debt bills - a bit like what happened with the banks. Further government intervention coming soon.... Access to broadband has been shown to be as important as access to water and IT poverty a real problem for poorer communities. Again £100,000,000 contract for laptops for schools went to a Tory donor's firm, oh and most of the laptops they provided were substandard. The Tories damage to the NHS is plain to see: our NHS went into this crisis after the longest funding squeeze in its history, with 100,000 staff vacancies and with 17,000 fewer beds than in 2010. We've now squandered £570,000,000 on Nightingale hospitals with no lasting impact and indeed no staff. The recent debate about water companies releasing raw sewage into waterways thirty years after they were privatised on the basis that this would allow them to invest in infrastructure to prevent such releases. In the thirty years they have paid out £57,000,000,000 in dividends and now say that to fund the necessary infrastructure customers bills will have to increase. Oh and they are all owned by foreign companies which have saddled them with debt so no corporation tax is due here on the profits that allows those dividends to be paid. Corbyn was right about the gig economy, job security and in work poverty. The appalling behaviour of multi-millionaire bosses like Richard Branson, Tim Martin and Mike Ashley towards their workers during the covid crisis has also made clear that people need stronger rights at work. The loss of trade union representation across so many workplaces is one of the main reasons why so many workers need benefits just to makes ends meet or to pay the rent, while their bosses amass grotesque wealth. Many laid-off workers were confronted by the shambles that is our benefits system. The safety net that once claimed to provide social security has been ripped to shreds and a lot of middle class people got a rude awakening. Corbyn was right when it came to public spending, “austerity is a political choice, not an economic necessity”. Even before the scale of the coronavirus outbreak had been accepted in 10 Downing Street, the spending taps had been turned on, showing that there is a magic money tree. Again the difference is that the £37,000,000,000 spent on on Test and Trace would have been spent on public laboratories rather than £5,000 a day to McKinsey consultants. And how is that nuclear deterrent working against Putin's latest little probing, not much use for the £4,400,000,000 per year they cost (£8,500 a minute!). That level of funding could provide proper conventional weapons and pay our servicemen properly. Even the FT recognised that Corbyn was right, about a lot! https://www.ft.com/content/e6678366-21a1-11ea-b8a1-584213ee7b2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 So after the met saying they dont investigate historical cases of lockdown parties just as the Grey report is about to be published now they do. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jan/25/what-does-police-inquiry-into-alleged-parties-mean-for-boris-johnson Which of course means it all gets kicked down the road because we cant see the report now until their investigation is complete which will no doubt be in 2029. How come now they can investigate? Proper Banana Republic we are now eh? Of course it could backfire and could trigger enough letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
