I don’t see how any of you can view that as not being worse than Boris receiving a cake just as he was assembling for a pre-planned meeting.
But there you go…

Clearly, that is not the case, but it appears to have swayed the Met. If there hadn’t been cake, Boris would not have been fined. Ridiculous, I know, but true.
It’s also true that Kier attended a function with curry and alcohol at a party member’s house. Police reaction? Move on, nothing to see here….
The ONLY difference apart from the fact that Kier was at a social event and Boris was at a work event was that Boris had cake.
Think about it. If it wasn’t so glaringly obvious and tragic, it would make a hilarious comedy. How to make something out of nothing, and do it so inconsistently, citing cake as the final arbiter when cake isn’t even mentioned in the rules. Yet a social event is OK, when it really isn’t!

It’s the logical conclusion. If there hadn’t been cake, Boris would not have been fined. Why else was he fined?

My point being, of course, that it was the cake that appears to have ‘proved’ in the eyes of the Met that this was a social event. It was Labour’s leader constantly banging on about the blasted cake that eventually led to this nonsense being played out.
I am the only one on here to claim that the cake was irrelevant and that we should be looking at what was actually happening - Boris had arrived for a legitimate meeting. The cake did not make that a social event.
Unlike Kier’s curry and booze evening…

Please provide the evidence to support this proposition…
It was the fact that he attended a a pre-planned non-work event that got him fined - even he accepted that (unless you are calling him a liar?). As previously posted (many, many times) "Mr Johnson said "in all frankness at that time it did not occur to me that this might have been a breach of the rules".
After the fine, however, he "now humbly accepts" he did breach COVID-19 laws."

You're the only one on here to claim the cake was relevant. A birthday celebration was deemed as a social event, post work meal was not deemed as one.

I'm perfectly aware what it was, if you want to sink into the depths, twitter awaits you.

Pizza Express in Woking? Apparently, he was avoiding sweating in the hot weather.
Did you spot him? It's about 25 min from your place.

It is about the unsuitability (or not) of the current incumbent of the office of constitutional monarch.
Coincidentally, there is a new book out that adds to the debate:
Abolish The Monarchy : Why we should and how we will
Quote:
The 2020s should be the decade when we finally get to decide who we have as our elected head of state. The accession of King Charles has fundamentally changed the monarchy and the public’s relationship with it. Charles is controversial, outspoken and far less popular than his mother ever was. Prince Andrew remains a person of interest in a criminal investigation. And Harry and Meghan continue to show that monarchy isn't just bad for Britain, it's bad for the royals too.
The country needs an honest, grown-up debate about the monarchy. We need to stop and ask ourselves: Can't we just choose our next head of state?
Abolish The Monarchy renews and informs the debate, eviscerating the nonsensical claims of the royalists and setting the tone for a full-throated challenge to the monarchy. The book also sets out a clear blueprint, not just of what kind of republic we should aspire to be – something that is often lacking in other republican texts – but also of the road to that republic. How we get there and where we end up are crucial issues that must be addressed if we’re to get people away from the dead-end debates about tourism, celebrity and warring royal houses.

Re: Charlie Farley
Well he's been a bit of a disappointment so far hasn't he ? No ones seen him since he was given that crown, Questions should be asked, and Crimewatch alerted.
