There was a thread this morning about people wanking in work.

He just had a party.

Could have been worse.

Everybody will have a different view on this including those that lost loved ones and made huge sacrifices at the time. Most will though appreciate right and wrong and know that there will always be rules for the majority broken by a small minority. Its a shame but that's how the world is. I am leaving them to fight it amongst themselves. I have enough on my plate.

So many were confused by the ‘rules’ as they were bloody confusing at times.

I’m not surprised even those that wrote them broke them, as they couldn’t even get the message consistent when telling the public what to do.

the standards for him have to be higher than the standards for us. He made the rules he broke, and he lied about every step and after every revelation. He shouldn't be sacked, he should walk, how can he have the trust of voters to lead the country, but that would be the right thing to do, so naturally he won't.

Johnson set the rules we all had to follow for the good of us all during the pandemic. He then broke those rules and lied about what he'd done over and over again.

This show he doesn't care if others live or die. It also shows he holds us all in utter contempt. Of course he should resign.

He party when Queen's husband died

He party when 150k people die without saying goodbye.

He party when my father past away and I couldn't go and bury him.

And then he lied, he stole people money, nhs and their decency. He should be prosecuted not forced to resign.

He did not lie to parliament! He said he considered it a work even. Boris did not organise anything, he is a casualty of his stupid wife and her behaviour. How many on here have received driving, fixed penalties, minor traffic offences or other illegal offences. Statistically more than 50 percent of the population has broken a law or other at some time. The pressure upon world leaders at the height of the then unknown covid time was immense and who would not have needed a drink. However, in fairness should Starmer also not get a penalty notice for his booze and pizza event in his office?

"This show he doesn't care if others live or die" Really?

It shows nothing of the sort.

It shows is he broke the rules, which is nothing to do with him caring about people living or dieing.

Talk about overreaction.

I totally get your point Jonny. It would have been worse if he was also wanking at the parties.

It wouldn't make sense for BoJo to appeal the penalty from a marketing standpoint. Then again, it could escalate quickly if he did pay the fine.

What you are going to find now more than ever are GDPR complaints being raised by politicians on a grand scale over the next few years.

If anything, this is on par with the Expense Claim scandal that happened a few years ago. There are going to be a few scapegoats.

People sometimes are totally blinded by political alliances, no matter what party that might be and can't admit to what is right and wrong, decent if you like. I would never let any political alliances colour my opinion of right and wrong. The untold suffering, the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the lasting damage that the last couple of years have inflicted so many will always by my only guiding principles in forming an opinion of right and wrong and then will moderate my opinion to take into account extenuating circumstances if any.

Next time this Government tells people they can’t go outdoors or see relatives, go to a funeral etc…what do you think the general public will do ?

If you can’t keep to the rules you created, then you can’t dictate them in the future.

He lied to Parliament, he lied to his own party and most importantly he lied to the public.

it's very difficult to see what he would have to do to make him think his position was untenable. He had a long record as a liar who thought a different set of rules applied to him long before he was elected PM

Boris is not going to fuck you! Well, not in the way that your fanboying seems to suggest that you want him to.

Plenty of other people could have done with a drink, or seeing their loved ones, being able to go through a stable grievance process but could not because they were told they could not, but it's okay for the big blonde jizz head, who is making the rules so should be following them better than anyone, to do so.

He needs to go or there will be civil unrest.

They have done nothing but help themselves and their friends.

We missed birthdays,funerals,holiday,events,jobs and alot of other big moments for them to ignore the law and rules and stick 2 fingers to us all.

My brother died during the height of the pandemic and we followed all the rules and had s limited funeral for him with no wake after the service. We did the right thing and my brother was a good man who deserved better, so many family and friends couldn't say goodbye.

What Boris and others issued with these fines have done is spit on his grave as far as I'm concerned, the rules didn't apply them, they were better than him and could do as they wanted. To those who dismiss these fines at Downing Street as trivial, your wrong, very wrong, this is a group of people showing no respect, no self control and an attitude of privileged arrogance.

People aren’t ‘fretting over’ wine and cheese parties - they’re pissed off because the very people who set the rules broke them, while us mere normal folk lost loved ones, couldn’t hug our family members, and majority of us stuck to the rules.

Then they lied about it, over and over, they were only sorry when they got caught.

Same as Sunak and the tax debacle, I’ve been caught I’m sorry!

Couldn’t be more disingenuous if they tried

It's also a bit rich that a man who openly admits he lies too and cheats on his wife has a moral high ground than Sir Keir. Lol

"Boris and Rishi need to leave now.

What has the Country become that a PM can lie and lie and lie and get away with it.

He needs to go or there will be civil unrest.

They have done nothing but help themselves and their friends.

We missed birthdays,funerals,holiday,events,jobs and alot of other big moments for them to ignore the law and rules and stick 2 fingers to us all.

Vote them out. Call a General Election. "

So you think that labour haven't been doing the same thing for years and years just like the tories and every other MP Have. MPs have been scamming the country for many many years for there high, and sometimes fake expenses,but no one has checked them out until recently.

Our PM lied + broke the law. It's official. Saying ah what about the others is the oldest + most pathetic way to distract from his wrongdoing.

It’s not about a Party, it’s about lies. It’ll also be interesting to see how the Tory party now deal with the scandal.

He potentially has broken the ministerial code, something he has to sign. If they decide to try and brush this under the carpet, next time it could be something a lot bigger and more serious.

If lying to Parliament and the People is no longer punished then we live in a dictatorship not a democracy.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't.

Someone else's failure to observe the rules is irrelevant to how I observe them.

He's apparently behaved like a dick. That's of no concern of mine.

Same if any other member of any other party broke the rules.

Oddly contradictory. You expect our leaders + rulemakers to hold themselves to a high standard, but you don't care when they don't.

Even setting that aside, when the somebody who doesn't obey the law on Covid is the PM, it might affect you. Because many people will use Johnson's lawbreaking as an excuse to act in a similar manner. That can cause more infections and more deaths. Possibly even of people you know.

Thats not contradictory at all.

If person B chooses to ignore a rule/guideline/law because person A does so, person B is also a fool.

One law rule breaker does not give consent to others to do the same. Anyone who takes that stance is an idiot.

I stopped using the "he did it, so can I" justification long before I'd hit my teens.

Breaking the rules can indeed cause more infections, more deaths. That's why sensible people follow the guidelines and don't lower themselves to the "he did it, so can I" position.

If someone breaks the rules because mop head did, and causes the death of one of my loved ones, guess who I hold responsible?

The cynic in me is wondering if an agreement was reached with the police to wait for a bombproof time like now. They were sitting on it for long enough.

Also, is this just a token gesture issuing a fine for a token event with all other offences to be expiated or can we expect fines being issued for all the other alleged breaches?

That post was not meant to be inflammatory, my mate works for South Wales Police, during covid he was called to multiple "parties" the base line was engage, educate then enforce.

We weren't allowed to do that. We weren't even allowed to eat lunch together. It was 2 people to the break room at a time on separate tables. One clinic broke the rules and had a Christmas gathering and were disciplined because it came out when it resulted in a covid outbreak among staff.

I see people using this as a justification to let him continue, oh well he paid his fine. Well if he was straight and proper, he could have easily admitted this in November.

But he didn't, and all this taxpayers money has been spent on something which was relatively straightforward

His paltry fine is not going to recover that money at all, isn't it?

. If you are worried about the cost of the investigation blame those who choose to make a complaint over an entirely trivial matter. Most people would not care or have any interest in whether or not lockdown regulations were breached.

If we wanted a level playing field for investigations we would have to trawl through an enormous amount of video recordings from retail premises and would end up issuing millions of fixed penalty notices . This is hardly the type of society many would want to live in .

"Line has been drawn now.

You either vote for a liar and a lawbreaker or you don't, no in between, every vote for this guy is accepting that you can commit acts of lawbreaking and you can continue like nothing has happened.

Remember that, because he set this precedent, it will lead to serious repercussions in the future.

I give people more credit than that. People don't break the law just because "someone else broke it". They broke the law and got caught and got fined. And continue just like the other folks who got caught and fined. It's good to see the laws applied to everyone.

After repeated denials that no law was broken, you forget that also? the cover up? the barefaced lie in the face of visual evidence? The initial refusal of the police to investigate it.

I see people using this as a justification to let him continue, oh well he paid his fine. Well if he was straight and proper, he could have easily admitted this in November.

But he didn't, and all this taxpayers money has been spent on something which was relatively straightforward

His paltry fine is not going to recover that money at all, isn't it?

Yup a pm breaking the law and lying about it is a trivial matter.

And there you have the ultimate defender of Boris who can do no wrong.

Your post is truly ignorant and disgusting.

Dispute that argument that this some trivial matter, this is a matter of integrity within the highest office, the worst thing is that the rules were agreed by him and he couldn't even follow them himself.

Let's see if this is a trivial matter at the ballot box eh?

The ministers broke the rules they wrote and that’s irrelevant! Amazing view!

So being told by Boris sitting in his office and garden with his wine and friends socialising and writing his rules that you cannot visit your dying kids and a colleague of mine could not take his children to see their dying mother was nothing to do with Boris?

. Maybe before you choose to make assumptions about the dying you should do a more objective analysis. There is no reason to believe that support for Boris as a percentage amongdt the parents of the deceased should be any different to that of the general public. Many will accept that Boris had an incredibly difficult job to do and are hsrdly going to blame him

for imposing restrictions . They would have little interest if he attended a party . You are the person whose chose to mention the deceased in an attempt to score a point. There appear to be quite a few Boris haters who want to accept sympathy on behalf of the deceased . Maybe those with a clear conscience accept that death is inevitable on certain occasions and find it objectionable to use death in order to score points. Boris being present in government buildings has no relation to the the relatives of deceased people being unable to attend funeral .

I'll take that as an insult to my brother who died and because we followed the rules Boris broke, he had a small funeral and his family, friends couldn't properly say goodbye. You clearly think that's fine. Shame on you."

"He did not lie to parliament! He said he considered it a work even. Boris did not organise anything, he is a casualty of his stupid wife and her behaviour. How many on here have received driving, fixed penalties, minor traffic offences or other illegal offences. Statistically more than 50 percent of the population has broken a law or other at some time. The pressure upon world leaders at the height of the then unknown covid time was immense and who would not have needed a drink. However, in fairness should Starmer also not get a penalty notice for his booze and pizza event in his office?

You know who needed a drink? Doctors and nurses. You know who haven't even been allowed work Christmas parties in December just gone? NHS staff. "

Absolutely this! NHS staff couldn't even take tea breaks together let alone down bottles of wine!

Wonder if most on here who lost people would think the same. Its not about anti tory or anti Boris it's about what's right and wrong.

So you think it's OK for the leader off the nation who made these rules party when we could not Bury our loved ones my mother in law didn't even die off covid yet we couldn't Bury her properly. If you think it's OK this country is more fucked than I thought it was stay safe guys xxx

When one of my oldest and closest friends died, I had to watch the funeral on zoom. I couldn't be there to comfort + hug his widow. Many people have this sort of story or worse. That's why Johnson's actions are unforgivable.

When my next door neighbour died of covid I wasn’t even allowed to give a hug to his wife!

And this doesn’t matter to boris, and I do wonder how many of support would be that blasé about if it it was one of their own!!

He asked us to make sacrifices…. We did!

He asked us to follow rules…,we did for the greater good!

So what should I think of the person who wrote the rules he couldn’t follow himself? I have nothing but utter contempt that he did it… and then tried to lie about it!!!

If he has any decency he would go

"As the culprits are now saying that they have payed the fine, might we all know how much it was?

Something derisory, no doubt, but we can live in hope that it was a whopper, in keeping with the ones which Boris has told us so far.

Wouldn't it be fun if Covid fines were a percentage of net worth? "

Shhh the Tax Payers Alliance (an oxymoron if ever there was one) and the Tufton St Mafia will come out fighting on that one!!!!

"Line has been drawn now.

You either vote for a liar and a lawbreaker or you don't, no in between, every vote for this guy is accepting that you can commit acts of lawbreaking and you can continue like nothing has happened.

Remember that, because he set this precedent, it will lead to serious repercussions in the future.

I give people more credit than that. People don't break the law just because "someone else broke it". They broke the law and got caught and got fined. And continue just like the other folks who got caught and fined. It's good to see the laws applied to everyone.

After repeated denials that no law was broken, you forget that also? the cover up? the barefaced lie in the face of visual evidence? The initial refusal of the police to investigate it.

I see people using this as a justification to let him continue, oh well he paid his fine. Well if he was straight and proper, he could have easily admitted this in November.

But he didn't, and all this taxpayers money has been spent on something which was relatively straightforward

His paltry fine is not going to recover that money at all, isn't it?

How much more can a country have to put up with?

Well this decision is going to be decided at the ballot box now. Because I seriously doubt the Conservative party has the actual backbone to do the right thing now, and are so cowardly, they couldn't say boo to him.

. If you are worried about the cost of the investigation blame those who choose to make a complaint over an entirely trivial matter. Most people would not care or have any interest in whether or not lockdown regulations were breached.

If we wanted a level playing field for investigations we would have to trawl through an enormous amount of video recordings from retail premises and would end up issuing millions of fixed penalty notices . This is hardly the type of society many would want to live in .

And there you have the ultimate defender of Boris who can do no wrong. You want to live in a society run by liars and you don’t care about those parents who were told they couldn’t sit with their dying children as it’s not important and in fact it’s only trivia. Your post is truly ignorant and disgusting. . It may be ignorant and disgusting to you but many others will take a far more realistic approach. Someone running the country and being held accountable during the crisis is under far more pressure that most people. All the events were in government buildings so it is not as if anyone came to any harm. It seems a bit odd that people are only concerned with whether or not goverment ministers broke the rules but are quite happy to ignore breaches by potentially millions of people. What relevance do the parents of dying children have to Boris being present in a government building. ? Death is very sad and many churches were closed. However a family death is an entirely different concept to a prime minister being in an office during working hours during a time of national crisis.

The Boris haters have no interest in whether or not Covid rules were broken. Their only interest is a vendetta against Boris. They will happily turn a blind eye to many others who broke the rules

The ministers broke the rules they wrote and that’s irrelevant! Amazing view!

So being told by Boris sitting in his office and garden with his wine and friends socialising and writing his rules that you cannot visit your dying kids and a colleague of mine could not take his children to see their dying mother was nothing to do with Boris?

You are living in a fantasy world and you trivialisation of the trauma inflicted on so may people by the lying scum bag now in office is the most appalling attitude I’ve ever read on here. Death is sad, how horrendously insulting are you! They died alone in hospital while their families were told the rules are the rules.

You total failure to grasp the relevance just exposes how ignorant you and your views are.

And you’re allowed to vote. How scary.

. Maybe before you choose to make assumptions about the dying you should do a more objective analysis. There is no reason to believe that support for Boris as a percentage amongdt the parents of the deceased should be any different to that of the general public. Many will accept that Boris had an incredibly difficult job to do and are hsrdly going to blame him

for imposing restrictions . They would have little interest if he attended a party . You are the person whose chose to mention the deceased in an attempt to score a point. There appear to be quite a few Boris haters who want to accept sympathy on behalf of the deceased . Maybe those with a clear conscience accept that death is inevitable on certain occasions and find it objectionable to use death in order to score points. Boris being present in government buildings has no relation to the the relatives of deceased people being unable to attend funeral . "

My colleague who couldn’t take his children to see his wife who was dying because “Boris” made the rules to say he couldn’t while Borus chose not to follow his own rules and chose to have regular drinks parties and you think that’s fine.

As for difficult job, how about those doctors trying to save lives who could stop and have a few drinks or the nurses who couldn’t stop and have cake and have a drink.

Oh and my points scoring friend who had to comfort his young kids alone whilst they wanted to but were not allowed by Boris to see their mum. All you have in regards to sympathy for those and many other children is to say never mind death is inevitable.

Your comments are quite simply disgusting.

You support Boris even when many more people died due to his slow decision making ( select committee) and say well he was busy..

Not too busy to have more than a few parties.. the doctors and nurses would have been too exhausted.

You are truly showing the bias ignorant attitude of a devotee who is too blind to see outside the indoctrination you have fallen for..

As for death is inevitable . It may well be but I’m sure those children and many others would have preferred to have spent the few days they had left with their loved ones. They were not allowed while Boris drank wine with friends. But I’m just scoring points.

He will never resign because he has no sense of responsibility and is a self centred prick. Since the scandal started he consistently lied saying get togethers had never taken place, until evidence emerged that they had, then suddenly he admitted they had but then tried to justify his actions. He does not know what the truth means. He is a disgrace and should go now along with all his other lying mates. Unfortunately the public will not have a say until the next general election and he will be hoping by then everyone will have forgotten about things. That must never be allowed to happen.

Agree wholeheartedly with this "

Of course you do. Certainly consistent.

I wonder if you would feel the same if the PM was Labour?

I bet you were incandescent with rage when Professor Fergusson broke the rules and you agreed with Matt Hancock that Fergusson had to resign?

What about Kinnock? When he broke the rules?

How about those two women who drove to countryside for their one hour exercise but as they had coffees and stopped at a bench, they got fined?

Or the student fined £10k for having a party in his flat?

And what about Dominic Cummings driving hundreds of miles to test his eyes (with wife who can drive and precious kid in car) and stopping at a beauty spot (purely coincidentally on his wife’s birthday)? Were you aligned with BJ in his defence of Cummings at the time? Looks a but silly now with Cummings turning on him!

It’s probably a good job the PM isn’t a Muslim as, based on some of your previous posts, you might have a few things to say about him!

I have just realised why I prefer the cake threads apart from the obvious. Carry on scoring party political points. Simply as a human being, all I can go by is what I think is decent and right. Political alliances will never cloud my judgemen. There may be corrupt parties with decent individuals or vice versa. Every situation should be judged on its own merit and wether it was right or wrong. I will never blindly follow any of them which ever party they are. They are not the messiah, that's for sure. Have fun and a lovely day.

Taking Boris on face value, I can only conclude that the rules were so unclear that one could easily accidentally crossed the line.

I do feel for all those who have been fined for similarly breaking the law by accident. I suspect the fine to them hurts more than Boris.

The minimum requirement of a law should be that those who wrote it and passed it understand it. If they can't, who can ?

I'd also expect that anything that restricts my freedoms has a benefit. It appears this rule restricts too much for no reason.

I'd add incompetent as a law maker.

Either which way, it's hard to not draw a negative conclusion about Boris ability as PM if you believe he is telling the truth.

The rules weren't "you can have a get together if it's less than ten mins and no cake"

Many people would have loved 9 minutes with their loved ones during the pandemic.

No, now is not the time for a.leadership contest in the UK. Most politicians are odious self serving cretins and we've never understood why people support one set of cretins over another. You'd think people would realise once they get older but sadly thay doesnt seem to be the case these days.

Now is not the time will always be a convenient excuse when people like Johnson don't want to fuck off.

Now is absolutely the time he has to go. At a critical time, it's rather important to have a leader who doesn't lie and break the law.

Get outta here, Boris Johnski and Fishi Rishi have to go as I cannot wait for the next episode of the Tory Sitcom, the one where another incompetent like Liz Truss or Gove secure the top jobs. The comedy potential is endless!

Remember when it wasn't the time because we had to wait for the Sue Grey report? And remember when it wasn't the time because we then had to wait for the Met to report their findings? And now it isn't the time because there's a war in Ukraine?

Johnson will always trot out another reason why he can't possibly leave. It never ends.

It’s not the time.

Winston Churchill was made prime minister whilst we were at war with Germany I’m sure his predecessor said wait now is not the time . Oh no he didn’t because he knew he wasn’t up to the job and put his country’s needs first not his own.

If we can change a prime minister during a direct conflict with another major power the war in Ukraine is definitely not an obstacle.

where is the justice in that scale of punishment when the law makers wilfully defy their own laws and get a £50 amercement.
