Mad isnt it?

He has done massive harm to them and it's an absolute nap  another disaster is just around the corner, yet he retains huge chunks of support.

They’ve circled the wagons. The theme within the party tonight is “we are not going to let Cummings, the BBC and Twitter bring down our pm. If we give him up to this baying mob then we’re all fucked”. 

 

The other big theme is to blame Carrie, “new immature wife, led him astray, he was too busy running the country whilst she was stuck bored in the flat planning birthday  parties and interior decoration, wouldn’t have happened with Marina etc” 

 

These are the 2 narratives being played out tonight which is why I think he’ll survive.

How does it prejudice a police investigation anyway @Anubis if no charges have yet been brought? Something smells here, and it ain't my balls.

The report in its full form may cover evidence that would be used in a criminal trial, and mass reporting would prejudice that trial and allow the defence to say that no trial is fair because of the exposure it’s received. 
 

To be honest, they should have stuck with the decision not to investigate and left it to Gray and Parliament.

Johnson heading east to broker peace?

The met have made clear their are not going to be any criminal trials, at worst only fixed penalty notices (see my Sam Coates link in response to Spanner above) Also the Gray investigation was set up to unearth facts not pass judgment, so it does smell fishy. 

 

 

[Gnasher 2,598]

It's looking more likely we will never see the full report, the Met timed their intrusion to perfection.

You don’t have to accept a fixed penalty. You can take it to court, plead not guilty, and have a trial if you dispute the reason behind it being issued.

Not surprisingly, the Mail have spun the Mets intervention as bad for Johnson, saying it leaves his government in limbo and stops him from moving on from what it considers to be a nothing issue.

Experts have warned that Boris Johnson's administration is more corrupt "than any UK government since the Second World War".

Researchers at Sussex University's Centre for the Study Corruption warned that the "absolute failure of integrity at No 10" could have potentially serious consequences for the UK if allowed to fester.

That being the case, why did the Met wait until this week, on the eve of the publication of gray's report, to announce they were going to investigate? For weeks the line from them was that they were going to wait for the report before making any decision about investigating. Surely they would've known during those weeks that any investigation would be compromised by the publication of the report.

So they’re sending him East to save the world and have his photo taken.

 

Luckily our voting public are known for their intelligence so won’t be taken in by this in any way.

Ahh true, didnt think of that, shows I'm obviously not a lawyer.

 

If it was a fixed notice being contested dosn't that indicate the offence is relatively minor?  And as I believe the punishment is hundred quid and doesn't leave you with a criminal record what would be the point of contesting it? Also I'd be surprised if the police handed out notices in this case without strong evidence, but again I'm using guesswork.

Tbf during a major world crises in a situation which requires diplomacy and skill,the ideal person you would send in,is someone who doesnt know the names of his own children.

How dare you question why the man who set the rules and was dishing out millions in fines,to those who broke it,consistently broke them himself?

How dare you question why people couldnt even visit dying relatives, when this man was having piss ups on a nightly basis?

How dare you question why he then denied any knowledge of it.
