The output of this is apathy, and referring to that wonderful quote the Hugh researched from Thatcher, if they tried to impose any further restrictions I think most people would just flout them now. |

Yes the knives will be out, but it won't be the 'general public' wielding them.

So Johnson has thrown his staff under the bus - that could come back to haunt him…
btw, "I apologise for the impression that was given" is up there with "I’m sorry you felt you were offended" as far as fauxpologies go… |

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
Scottish Conservative leader and bang average lineo Douglas Ross has called for Boris Johnson to resign if he misled Parliament. A caveat that, unless he’s completely forgotten about a party he was actually at, doesn’t mean much.

To me, it appeared that Boris managed to brush off his questioning quite easily. The police according to some media sources were already aware of what was going on. Any inquiry is either going to end in a. going to be forgotten about b. a small sacrificial lamb will be offered c. the police will say not enough evidence IMHO |

Premise 1 - we have been repeatedly told "there was no party" Quote:
(I wonder if these "No. 10 spokespeople who seem to have lied albeit unwittingly" were attendees at the party that didn’t happen, as the (non-)party was held at No. 10?) |

There is a larger plan at work here, by well-placed persons unknown, to drip-feed material into the public domain that will eventually fatally undermine Boris even without a smoking gun directly implicating him in something. It’s the death of a thousand cuts, nipping and slicing away until everyone is left wondering why on earth he’s still in charge. At that point someone will challenge him for the leadership. |
