A Party Too Far ?
Boris Johnsons ambition was to make his name remembered in History.
He has certainly achieved That.
Boris Johnson is the first serving Prime Minister in history to have broken the Law. He and his Con Party thought they were above the Law.
It is time for him and his Cons to go . he has taken the Pee far too long .

The fanboys of failure are out in force.
Most Governments encounter some form of crisis. It is how you deal with them that matters.
Brown bought shares in UK banks to make sure they survived. And when those banks became profitable, we sold off those shares giving a windfall for a succession of Conservative Chancellors.
I doubt the next Government will get a windfall from Matt Hancock’s pub landlord, or the spives who sold us PPE that ended up in landfill because it was unsafe.

Is that the pandemic where Boris put new laws in place and Rishi borrowed billions to finance eat out to help out, furlough, bounce back, etc. which has left the country owing billions.
While they themselves took things so unseriously that they had a stream of parties in Downing Street, shipping in booze in suitcases to keep themselves lubricated.
You can't have it both ways! You can't say that Covid was so serious that it was worth running up enormous debts and putting stringent new laws into place. While at the same time saying that Covid was so inconsequential that the leaders of the country could disregard the laws they'd put into place for the rest of us, party on and then lie to Parliament and the rest of us about it.

" - I've always said we overreacted to COVID, for too long, I accept a lot of it was necessary but we arrived at the logical conclusion approx 6 months too late. We now have it correct. I think the government did what was necessary furlough wise. I despair at those like gromit who beat us to death with those figures but offer no alternative.
> I've always said we overreacted to COVID
If that's the case then the people who overreacted to it the most were content for that overreaction to apply to the rest of us and not them, and then they lied to Parliament about it. If you ask me, lying to Parliament is the worst thing they've done. Boris can't lie to Parliament and keep his job.
His defence is that he didn't realise he was at a party and therefore didn't realise he was lying to Parliament. That's so pathetic, it reminds me of the Russian apologists we hear all too much of, but if it's true - is a man who can't tell he's at the sort of party he put in legislation to stop actually capable of running the country? No. So if Boris did realise he was at a party, what about a man who'd lie about a trivial issue, can we trust him to run the country? No. So on what basis can Boris run the country?
