OutByEaster? Posted March 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2021 So a court has found that Boris Johnson misled the house of commons in his comments on PPE contracts during the pandemic. And now he should resign right? I mean, isn't that what happens when an MP is found guilty of deliberately misleading the house? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hancock guilty of not publishing details of his dodgy deals. Patel guilty of bullying and tax payers have to fund £340,000 compensation someone she drove out. All within a week or so and all carrying on like nothing happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Windrush victim denied UK citizenship despite Home Office admitting error 'A man who was prevented from returning home to the UK for nine years by the Windrush scandal has been refused British citizenship because of his protracted absence from the country – despite an acknowledgment from the home secretary that the government was to blame. The case highlights the Home Office’s failure to provide justice to some of those affected, almost three years since ministers first promised to right the wrongs caused by the immigration scandal. Trevor Donald, 65, received a letter from Priti Patel in which she expressed her regret that the rigidity of immigration legislation means he cannot be granted British citizenship. The law requires applicants to have been physically present in the UK for the majority of the five years preceding their application. Donald said the latest refusal was ridiculous and painful, and expressed anger at the continued precariousness of his situation. “It is a blow. They should have rectified the situation years ago,” he said. “The way the system has been treating me and people like me is wrong.” Donald was stranded in Jamaica for nine years after travelling there to attend his mother’s funeral in 2010. At that point he had been in Britain for 43 years, since arriving as an 11-year-old child to live in Birmingham, legally, in 1967. He was entitled to citizenship but applied formally for leave to remain only when his mother became ill and he needed to get a passport so he could visit her. His application was unsuccessful because he did not have enough evidence to prove he had lived in the UK for more than four decades. His mother died before he was granted a passport but he travelled to the funeral using emergency documents, having been reassured by a Home Office official that he would be allowed to re-enter the UK. However, he was denied permission to return later that year. He was only allowed back nine years later, in 2019, when Home Office staff working for the Windrush taskforce contacted him, apologised and paid for him to fly home to Britain.' more at: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/05/windrush-victim-denied-uk-citizenship-home-office-admitting-error-trevor-donald *Can't* do anything?

markavfc40 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 This test and trace has been corruption on an industrial scale and the Tories have used the pandemic to line the pockets of their friends and donors. I'm tempted to say that it will all come out and they won't get away with it but the last couple of years have shown that getting away with it could well be the outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They 100% will get away with it. People like Coldplay and voted for Nazis. The majority don’t care and there’s not enough people who do care to make a difference anymore imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently during one 7 day window both Johnson and Hancock were guilty of hiding information about their multimillion pound deals to chums and Patel cost the tax payer £370,000 to pay off someone she bullied out of his job.
