StefanAVFC Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I mean, what is it at this point? Gaslighting? It's complete insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue side have been in unfettered power for over a decade now, made a complete disaster of many things during that time, how much longer can 'well some on the other side are loony too' truly go on for? It’s not intended to, no. I agree with you. I just thought it should be a moment of self reflection about your own biases (something I have to do frequently) because I’m sure we can all agree that acting like the guy in the story isn’t helpful.

If she'd stayed there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted January 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2022 The optics on this seem pretty bad though. Not sure it's going to help the Tories in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted January 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2022 Also there are some suggestions that it might not be a cover up but that the Met are investigating some more serious incidents that might be court worthy (deletion of phone data for example), and therefore cannot prejudice any potential jury. I mean, it's highly unlikely, but you never know I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ? The general covid enquiry - 3 years after the event. The lockdown party report - probably published 2 years after the event. Postpone / scrap the NI hike. The Tories & Boris are good for another 5 years mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The whole thing is embarrassing. The mechanism of government has completely ground to a halt due to two reports happening at the same time. It has given bunter time to organise a shadow whipping operation. Even if the 22 committee get 54 letters he will see off a vote of confidence with ease, and the whole sewage will be swept under the carpet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Gray was investigating parties that break lockdown rules. That was the entire remit. The Met don't want her to mention anything they may be investigating, which is parties that broke lockdown rules. May as well print it in black ink on black paper. But the Met do also say that Gray need not delay in publishing it. It's ridiculous. Not unexpected mind. There is a reason why Boris and pals thinks the rules don't apply to them, it's because the rules genuinely don't apply to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It's clear what will happen. Sue Gray's report is damning. Met ask her to remove damning bits as they're investigating them. Report is released with no very little to pin on Johnson. Met drop their investigation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2022 So Sue Gray's report on the parties aren't allowed to reference the parties. It's gonna be a short report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
