Shameless Boris Says He Made A Mistake Apologising For Partygate.

[gulliver1]

Boris says the scandal from partygate was the downfall of him and the Cons. His apology was the beginning of the end of his days as PM. Now Defiant Johnson, rather than feeling a sense  of remorse claims his mistake was to Apologise for Partygate. I was just trying to defuse public anger with pathetic apologies even though I knew nothing about what I was apologising for. And the band played believe it if you like🤣

[naomi24]

I agree with him.  It was a mistake.

[Deskdiary]

It was a mistake. 

 

These were people he worked with day in and day out in their place of work, so the outrageous indignation and pearl-clutching from those who were whining really was quite pathetic.

The ex untrustworthy PM Johnson now says he was ousted by a ridiculous very unfair witch hunt.Led by Sue Gray, who has now become unbelievably Chief of staff to Keir starmer.  Well done.. M/S Gray.

My Grovelling made people even more angry. Says Johnson .                😎Boris has never ever Grovelled in his life😎

Boris was stabbed in the back, he should not have apologised, his enemies saw it a weakess and went in for the kill.

Look at all the sleaze now emeging about the current front benchers and see what a fuss was made out of a birthday cake and a bottle of wine. It all was rather trivial to the world outside of the UK, but;

 “What do they know of England, who only England know?”   Rudyard Kipling

Untrustworthy Johnson Boasted on WhatsApp that he and the Tory Party would get through partygate and come out on top.Although Johnson is used to being on top , on this occasion he wasn't.

[Boto]

It was a mistake to apologise, he should never have done so.  

[gulliver1]

Perhaps he should have carried on telling lies that he knew nothing about the partys he attended.  After all he is a Tory

[webbo3]

He should of gone for a curry and a beer and got away with it.

[ToraToraTora]

It was a mistake, nothing illegal happened.

[perseverer]

People on AB tend to say much the same thing over and over again. So I'll join it and repeat something I've pointed out several times before. There was a lot more to Boris's downfall than partygate.

[naomi24]

The whole thing was a sham -  the cake was a sham - the curry and beer was a sham - and all those in high places who pointed accusing fingers and subsequently sat in judgement knew it was a sham.   Two-faced and utterly disingenuous the lot of them - and the country is now landed with the disastrous result.   They have nothing to be proud of.

[gulliver1]

Think towards  the end of his tenancy Johnson was almost as unpopular as Thatcher when her career came to  an end.Both of them were in it for themselves

[gulliver1]

How can you ever believe a  man who even lied to the Queen.

[youngmafbog]

It was part of his downfall.  Amongst other things were

1) Lockdowns

2) Furlough

3) Marrying and then obeying a liberal

4) Chasing Net Zero

5) Helping to turn the Tories into the TINO's.

And many other things, but I agree that he should never have appologised.  He should have got a friendly liberal copper to investigate and find nothing, just as Sir 2TKS did.

Some ABers have become very tetchy since the right-wing tide turned. Not to worry, tides come and go.

[youngmafbog]

I am not sure what you mean by that?

Are the right wingers having fun - yes we are now the boots on the other foor !!

[naomi24]

YMB, you missed out Brexit.  His biggest crime was having the gall to respect the result of a democratic referendum.

[jackthehat]

The worst mistake Boris made was bringing Dominic Cummings on-board and the second worst was alienating him.

After that there was a succession of leaks and rumours and counter-briefs; all of which gave ammunition to the 'grey men (and women)' lining up to take Boris' place.

The photographs of Boris holding his glass aloft looked like no party I have ever attended...
