And so now the police have around 150 photos of MPs enjoying themselves during Lockdown. There was one on the evening news last night of Boris holding court and raising up a glass of plonk surrounded by several work colleagues with pixelated faces. Bottles of booze were on the table, and it looked as though a good time was being had by all.
My question is… who had been taking the photos? If Boris and company had known they were being photographed, surely they wouldn’t have agreed to it as hopefully despite denials they have some degree of sense whereby they knew they were breaking Lockdown rules. There was another photo on TV recently of Boris drinking in the garden of Number 10 surrounded by his cronies. The photo was taken from above and it’s possible somebody had been looking out of an upper window with a camera in hand.
Was Boris being stalked by somebody taking photos in secret in order to discredit him or to sell the photos to newspapers? Or is it that they’re on CCTV anyway but Boris and his cronies think they’re entitled to break the rules because they’re all so important that rules for the common people don’t apply to them? If they’re not CCTV images it would be interesting to discover who it was that took the pictures – maybe somebody with a grudge? I can think of one person in particular…
Meanwhile the Partygate scandal drags on and on.

Quite likely there was a secret person filming. But on the other hand, most of these politicians think they are invincible and entitled to break rules. xx

Absolutely. They make the rules in the first place, but of course the rules don’t apply to them because apparently they’re better than everybody else… x

One party tries to distract from their failures with useless publicity defaming the other party. If you don’t want it “on telly” don’t do it ’cause everybody has a phone.

Very true. Boris has obviously got a secret stalker filming his every move.

I think they mostly have (paid the fines that is – although I think a good proportion of those were civil servants).
Like you, I have a good idea who is the person scorned (than which hell hath no fury equal to) that keeps ‘leaking’ photos and dates to the press. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he came out as a main instigator of partying in the forthcoming report – but that would be too much to hope for. I suspect he’s too good at pulling the wool over people’s eyes by diverting them with others’ shortcomings.

I hope he does get fined, especially for that journey up North.

‘Entitlement’ is the key word. They (Borsi and his cronies, as well as some others) do believe they are entitled to do anything. I used to think Thatcher’s government was the worst ever, but this shower are making me sick to my stomach. Now the energy cap is set to rise by another £900+ this year, and there’s a Tory politician who thinks we can (and should) eat for 30p a day if on low wages. This from someone on £84,000 a year salary who claimed almost £200,000 extra in expenses, (2020-2021) and enjoys a subsidised restaurant and bar in parliament. I think ‘scum’ is too kind a word for people like that.
As you can tell, I am angry.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s a wonder he didn’t say “Let them eat cake”. Perhaps the MP should demonstrate how he could eat for 30p per day.

‘Drag’ being the operative word. I can’t believe the amount of time these rehashes are taking up in the British press. I’m sure there are more important events taking place both in the UK and around the world. I usually end my TV day with the news, hopping between Sky and ITV, but lately I’m spending more news-time on Al Jazeera, or turning off altogether.

It would be handy if the politicians could just admit their mistakes, pay the fines, and then move on to actually running the country. All the denials are just laughable.
