Nope.
The point at issue is your claiming he had ADMITTED misleading Parliament.
Indeed CORBY, but I have admitted in a post above that my memory may have been at fault.
but sqad sweetie that is why we have medical paper notes,
because the damned patients are always saying - - - but you said....

thread about this a few days ago
naomi - // If people are working together day in and day out it's ridiculous to jump up and down in rage because they sat in the garden together. //

Minimising any scenario to scoff at it is bad debating.

It is not case of people 'sitting in the garden together'.

It is a case of people who work directly for the government, deliberately breaking the rules that said government has enforced on the entire population, including them.

It is not 'sitting in the garden' - which the government confined to one other person, it is socialising and breaking legislation, for which other breakers have been arrested, and which other people have obeyed at the expense of a chance to be with dying family.

No it's not 'sitting in the garden' and minimising it does not make it look any better, it remains what it is, contemptuous law-breaking.
//it wasn't he who initiated the garden-party, but it's a disadvantage that he attended.//

It was initiated by the PM's Principle Private Secretary. That's Bernard Wooley (Derek Foulds) in "Yes Prime Minister". If he didn't know it had been arranged he is incompetent. If he knew and did nothing about it (far more likely) he is hypocritical and arrogant (bearing in mind the restrictions that were in place on everybody else at the time).

There's too much emphasis placed on this one event. It is clear that throughout the pandemic when lockdowns and other harsh restrictions were in place, senior politicians and their lackies took the view that they did not apply to them. Every single breach (of which there have been plenty) has been accompanied by excuses and explanations which demonstrate that the problems faced by mere mortal individuals and organisations would not hinder them. The Prime Minister presided over this prolonged period where the population was subject to the most harsh and sometimes inhumane restrictions on their lives whilst his ministers and staff went about their business largely unhindered. They should have been setting an example but all they did was demonstrate their arrogance.
:
“I was at the party and I’m sorry”
ie “I lied before”

but he chose: " I was at IT but I didnt know it was a party"

Sqad will know the author of - well he would say that wouldnt he?
// If he knew and did nothing about it (far more likely) he is hypocritical and arrogant (bearing in mind the restrictions that were in place on everybody else at the time//

YES NJ! - now in the Colston trial where they all pleaded that and were acquitted ( sort of, generally speaking) some people were VERY disapproving !
My sons birthday was 2 days later on 22nd May. He was 10. He spent his birthday on the sofa alone......I was working. Had I'd known I would've invited some of his school friends over for a garden party however I may have been reported to the police. Also, at the time, I and many others struggled to get shopping deliveries so no guarantee of party food.

In the grand scheme of things my son not being able to have a birthday party is quite a minor issue but all across the country people have been left feeling angry and cheated by the actions of Boris and Co. People dying alone, people not being able to see their loved ones....who then died alone and so on.

So, imo, yes!
"“I was at the party and I’m sorry”
ie “I lied before”

but he chose: " I was at IT but I didnt know it was a party"

As I pointed out further down (!)
Boris must be aware of the email that was sent to the invitees to BYOB - how many "work" places today encourage drinking alcohol in the name of work? Places at which I have worked banned alcohol in working hours decades ago.
Yes , the earlier the better
LadyCG maybe but he has been ALL his life lol not just now he is a disgrace to our country and im ashamed that he is the leader of the conservative party they deserve better and proper
i voted who cares cus really i cant be bothered to be emotionally invested with it all lol
No.... I cannot think of a single other person who is both willing and able to take over, in any case. He's had a really tough time, with Brexit and a pandemic. And is at least, not as insipid as all our previous PMs.
// As I pointed out further down (!)//
yes if it is good point, it is worf repeating....

and if it the usual AB guff - then it can be repeated again and again to see the discomfiture of the so called 'author'
dont all pms have tough times i dont think its an easy job regardless whats going on but for one thing if you cant follow your own rules then your not fit to lead a country lead by example
AH. 12.58. I’d be obliged if you would stop preaching to me. I don’t agree with you.
I seem to be the only one to say
I followed the rules bcause I thought they were good rules and good against covid.

and I er would have followed them even if I knew the PM wasnt

clealy I am one in 60 000 000
