Boris said that it wasnt a party.

From the land of haribos.

I was watching sky news few days ago and I heard how boris was defending how it wasnt a party that he had during the pandemic.

He said it it would be "completely wrong" to suggest that he had been partying during lockdown as he was being grilled by mps over whether he mislead the commons with his denials about partygate.

What is your view about it, was it a party that he had?

I would say that yes, it was a party that he had.

He has tried to move the goalpost with the word partying, to try and indicate it was not an event that he was there to enjoy, it was more official duties.

The bottom line it was a gathering of people eating cake and drinking alcohol that brought them together, a party.

None of the events were necessary. Regardless of covid, it is never necessary to socialise with colleagues. Nor is it necessary to mark their arrival or leaving a team.

If you have to go into an office it is bad enough that you have to see people all day. Why would you want to see them outside of work?

'Boris said'..

When stated before has caused much eye raising and thought of ' here we go again, more lies'..

The trouble with all this “partygate” stuff is that it has enabled the Boris koolade drinkers to downplay the significance (it was only a piece of cake), remove context of when it happened (it WAS against the rules and people were not able to say goodbye to dying relatives, including the Queen), and shift focus away from things that Johnson presided over during the pandemic that were far worse and more deserving of retribution (the grand scale theft of national assets enriching friends, family, and cronies on an unprecedented scale).

Everyone knows that a kids party consists of food drink, A clown and bouncy castle.

So the bouncy castle was absent.

The fucking clown was there. So it's still a party.

although I think Johnson could double up as clown and bouncy castle, after all, he has enjoyed a fair few people bouncing on him!

I’ve mused over this…. Although it was eating and drinking a beer, it was to refuel at the end of the working day as you would do in a work environment.

That isn’t a party, but I think if they had not have been well disciplined it could have turned into something different

Actually they were campaigning so not even end of the working day as they were going to be working into the night. That was a pause, a bite to eat and a drink in the party ticket before carrying on. And it happened once!

There were multiple actual real parties in Downing St/Cabinet Office. Karaoke machine for Abba. Suitcase of booze. Vomiting. Children’s swing broken. Followed on one instance by jokes about “parties” during a press conference practice session.

They simply are not comparable as much as some wish they were.

What Starmer and co did was what Johnson tried to claim he and co did but actually didn’t...

AND

Johnson was head of the Executive setting the rules and laws of the land so they should know better than anyone and set a higher example than anyone. Starmer was/is leader of the opposition.

False equivalence!

I think the key take away here is the use of alcohol during working hours, this has not been a thing for me for a very long time.

They and "they" means all political parties need to wake up to how the world has moved on and catch up quickly, if they had done this some years back, partygate / beergate would never have happened.

He made laws and knew what he was doing was illegal, when he broke them. He lied to parliament about his behaviour and ought to be disqualified from holding public office for life.

I've seen people have a meal and a drink and then go back and email afterwards, or do a cross time zone call. Or go back and read some papers (tbf I've never seen them read... Just what they say they will be doing).

Not after a session. Just after a drink with a meal.

Yep. Not seen lunch time drinking or 9-5 drinking for years but certainly a beer and pizza/take away at the desk when pulling an all nighter. Par for the course in Ad/PR/Digital/Marketing agencies, especially when working towards a pitch. Just the one or maybe two beers mind you. Not a session!

At the time of the beer n curry night I thought the rules had changed by then ?

The meeting had previously been arranged and logged .

Police investigation by a proper police force, found nothing to answer for.
