Johnson continues to cry foul - but it's the relatives of COVID victims that'll be nauseated by his protests

[Social Media]

Boris Johnson has done everything he possibly could to discredit the Privileges Committee's report on claims that he lied to MPs over partygate. But so far he has met fierce resistance.

After declaring war with allegations of a "witch-hunt" and kangaroo court", his latest attack was directed at committee member Sir Bernard Jenkin, after a report that he attended a party that broke lockdown rules.

 

In a letter to Harriet Harman, who chairs the committee, Mr Johnson said if Sir Bernard broke the rules he was no longer a "valid judge" and was guilty of "flagrant and monstrous hypocrisy".

I thought it was China that was reposible for the Covid virus not Bojo.

Amazing. Blair didn't face this much scrutiny over the WMD lies.

 

Boris has a bit of cake at a party and everyone loses their mind. We get it, he's an arrogant toff and he doesn't like to follow the rules. But he didn't invade another country, he had a slice of cake and maybe a glass of wine for god's sake.

The issue is not the COVID virus.

The parallels between Johnson’s response to being held accountable with ANOther former national leader being held accountable are striking.

 

Attacking the institutions of Government, Democracy and Justice with almost exactly the same language and an equally shrill level of whinging and whining.

 

And of course lying through his teeth.

This thread is not about Blair - it's about the second most incompetent Prime Minister of the last century.

It's about the man who finally got Brexit done. The man who handled Covid extremely well. 

 

The man with no luxury motorhomes on his mother in law's driveway.

Who don't you name this other former national leader to which you refer?

 

Oh that's right, because the thread is nothing to do with him ????.

No, is about Johnson - he accomplished none of those things.

As this thread is about Johnson crying that he has been criticised because of his selfish actions during COVID, and the outrage felt by those who feel his actions during the pandemic were unacceptable, it seems somewhat slavish that you would suggest he did well during it. Clearly those who have first hand experience of his failure are better placed to judge?

He did a great job with the vaccine rollout in the early stages, saving many lives.

 

Then he ate some cake at the wrong time. 

 

You clearly think the latter is more important than the former. Kind of explains your support for Sturgeon, you value image more than substance.

That's the problem. Brexit was not done. He put the country in limbo.

Yes it WAS done. Not as hard as I would have liked, but done nonetheless.

 

And the UK economy is doing better than expected. Avoiding recession.

Better than Germany in fact. Which is in recession.

Surely there some threads on the subject of Brexit or the UK economy?

Probably not - nobody is talking about it, nobody is suffering because of it, countless businesses haven't ceased trading because of it and the majority of the country doesn't agree that it was a massively self damaging exercise of epic stupidity. At least, that's the case if you refuse to accept reality.

From the start I have always said that Bojo and others running the country behind closed doors at No.10 should not have been subjected to the laws outside No.10 during a pandemic and should be immune from prosecution.

We were discussing Johnson's achievements (Brexit) and failings (Cake).

 

Do try to keep up dear.

Johnson agrees with you, he’s on a non stop whinging and whining fest just because he’s being held accountable for his own behavior words.

They essentially were. Where other people were prosecuted for relatively minor infractions, the government were having bacchanalian extravaganzas which they were allowed to document by questionnaire.

But think how much stronger we would recover if people weren't struggling, and if so much value hadn't been wiped out by brexit.

[chalawaan]

The absolute brass of this lying entitled freeloader grub and his gang of worthless peerage prostitutes should turn average voters stomachs.

 

Instead, people will actually pay good money to hear him crap on at sumptuous lunches and buy his next overpriced book. 

 

This is the true definition of a world gone mad.

Back to Topic:

 

Mordaunt has commented: 

 

“We have to be really strong about people who are attacking institutions, people who are attacking the House for carrying out its work, people who are attacking the media.”

She added: “The price of not doing so is going to be very great indeed.”

Apart from the widespread anger at Johnson’s whinging and whining over being held accountable for lying to Parliament, to rub salt in the wound, tax payers are footing his legal bills relating to his lies to parliament:

The politburo of China would LOVE you. It's truly chilling to grasp you're genuinely ok with this level of entitlement and dystopia. 

 

Give us a single example where putting any human above the law, especially a moral vacuum like Johnson, ended well for humanity.
