I keep telling you that they are all the same. 
Boris’s misremembering or truth avoidance being on important things that he didn’t actually do, usually about the actions of other people. 
Starmer is a different case, pontificating and posturing about Boris and partygate for the very same things he has done himself. 

Once again, Starmer and Labour are not in elected office. They are the Opposition.

 

Did you listen to Johnson's answers to the committee member asking about his meeting with Lebvedev Sr.? Straight off the bat it's "no..." then it's he "can't remember". After some pointers from the committee member that prove it happened, he suddenly recalls it was in Italy and "he thinks" he advised the FO of the meeting at the time. It was a slow-motion train wreck. The Prime Minister is forever standing on his own prodigious cock. It's truly cringeworthy.

 

Get a grip.

Most Remainers have accepted the result. When are you Brexiters going to accept it?

When it’s finished. 

That's priceless. It hasn't even been properly started yet and won't ever be with the Great Impregnator holed up in Downing Street like a latter day Julian Assange.

Which ones? The Met or the Durham rozzers?

Both. 
The Met, an opportunity to stick it to Boris. 
Durham an opportunity to turn a blind eye to Starmer. 

That was your starter for ten.

 

For the bonus point, which administration wrote these mercurial lock down laws?

Simple application of a provision within the existing contractual agreement. The sooner Boris (or anybody else) does it, the better. 

You're not really au fait with how legally binding contracts between two parties work are you?

Yes it would be helpful if you could provide any links that support your claim that "...progress is under way in building new hospitals".

 

The original link and bar chart which you posted do not.

I did actually post the wrong link , I must have had a few pages open at the same time . here is the correct link (the link where the graph came from ) with all the relevant information 

 

What's happened to the 40 new hospitals pledge?

If the damage can be limited for the next two years, I hope that Johnson somehow manages to lead the Tories into the next election. It will almost guarantee an opposition win.

As I mentioned previously, the definition of a 'new' hospital was changed by the Department of Health to include refurbishments and rebuilds. The end result is that - depending on the original source - between 3 - 5 'new' hospitals are currently being built.

 

Even with the redefinition of the word 'new', it's hardly rapid progress.

Well that's why they booted him out to try and prevent that happening.

 

Makes no difference to me at my time of life,  don't know why people get so upset in the first place.

Indeed. We all know which side of the fence the UK police sit on. The Starmer debacle is just another example of their extreme left wing bias. Whether it's taking a knee to the Marxist BLM, openly supporting lefty Woke causes like LGBT/Pride or publicly supporting Palestine, their lefty bias is as obvious as it is odious.

 

Fining Johnson while ignoring Starmer's same infraction is par for the course.

 

 

 

Yes, they conveniently believed Starmers excuse that it was a working meeting and that as all the shops and restaurants were closed , they needed to order some food for the workers to eat because they were hungry .

   Which would be quite believable and acceptable and necessary ,but they didnt give a reasonable explanation as to why they had to order beer and alcohol as well

Thanks for the back story but that only proves that Johnson incorrectly claimed was lying that the EU were specifically banning the prawn cocktail crisp.

Could you post a link to that ?

Banning prawn cocktail crisps

 

This is a subject that has exercised Boris Johnson for about 15 years. In 2002 he wrote that some of his “most joyous hours” had been spent composing “foam-flecked hymns of hate to the latest Euro-infamy”, the first on the list: the ban on prawn cocktail crisps.

Except that the EU never banned the crisps. The EU contends that this palaver was the result of an error by the UK government, which failed to include prawn cocktail when asked to send a list of flavourings and sweeteners in current use to the EU, which was drafting a harmonised EU-wide list. When the mistake was spotted, the information was provided by the UK government and the list was amended.

But this hasn’t stopped Johnson from getting angry about it. As recently as March, the former London mayor cited the “great war against the British prawn cocktail flavour crisp” as part of his evidence of Brussels-gone-mad and a reason he was campaigning to leave.

I have just been to a U.K supermarket and they are now selling Prawn cocktail flavoured crisps again .

What do you mean "again". They were never banned in the first place. It was all a figment of Johnson's enduring need for disambiguation, obfuscation and telling porkies.

 

BTW, I voted Leave but I didn't vote for the ensuing circus or it's ringmaster.

No, they were actually banned for a while , they contained a banned colouring , I personally recall that Worcester sauce flavoured crisps were banned as well , they were my personal crisp choice of flavour and they got banned for having cancer causing ingredients

There isn’t. They are labelled “suitable for vegetarians”.

I don't think that police officers should display support for any cause while on duty, but to suggest that a few officers taking the knee and/or wearing rainbow paint, and that Starmer was found to have no case to answer, means that the UK police force is institutionally bias towards the left is ridiculous.

 

A serving police officer in the West Midlands force was recently found to be a former member of a banned right-wing party. Does that make the West Midlands force institutionally right-wing? What about the fact that left-wing and black groups are disproportionately targeted for undercover police operations? Does that point to an anti-left, anti-black agenda among UK police forces?

Yes I have witnessed the people camping in Calais . I had to wait there for two weeks for my UK passport to be sent to me . I talked with many of them that were endeavouring to reach the UK shore line and was offered a beer by many of them  at the same time.

My impression was that many of them had wealthy parents .

Many truck drivers ready to take there money to reach there goal and many french officials ready to join in the game .

Overhaul the UK government wins from the so called illegal immigrants.

Now they come up with sending them to Rawanda.

It will not happen thanks to human rights that the conservative government has a desire to over ride

You do understand that Starmer didn't commit an infraction, don't you?

 

That's what it means when the police say that after conducting an investigation that was described as "thorough, detailed and proportionate" they "concluded that there is no case to answer...."

 

This is of course, in complete contrast to the actions of Boris and his minions at Number 10 where after a similarly thorough investigation a total of 126 fixed penalty notices were issued. 

 

Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner cleared by Police
