The headline says it all, Putin's thugs are pillaging their way across Ukraine and what's all over the news? A 9 minute bash with a slice of cake that under the rules of the time was probably legal anyway. We've gone mad.

Should have eaten scotch eggs, then all would be fine :-)

I posted this on an earlier thread.It is ,as you say, obscene.

[dannyk13]

Why do some posters think that making jokes on a thread that is basically about the Ukraine war is acceptable.

[ToraToraTora]

yes danny, I thought it deserved it's own post.

[pat2604]

Agreed TTT, which his why I have not put my thoughts on here recently. Because my language might offend!! I stupidly thought that the cake scenario would die down!!

"A 9 minute bash with a slice of cake that under the rules of the time was probably legal anyway."

Why was he issued with and why did he pay his Fixed Penalty Notice then?

What do you know about the facts (not suppositions) of the incident that the Met Police don't?

[douglas9401]

In tiers here.

[Hopkirk]

It wasn't just about a piece of cake though was it?

Plenty of Tory MPs disagree with you.
Not enough, yet. Watch this space though.
He's toast.

[maggiebee]

TTT, you need to stop digging. Bunter's hole is deep enough. What would he have to do for you to stop defending him? Shoot Biden? Shoot the Queen? PMSL

[THECORBYLOON]

It's a pity Sue Gray and the Met didn't ask TORATORATORA about the information he appears to have, it would have been resolved months ago.

My opinion is this:
We, unlike the russians, live in a country where we can discuss the fact our PM has broken the law, and what (if anything) the electorate would like to do about that. If debate is shut down about what the electorate think about their leaders, then we are in no better position than the russians and can't speak from any position of strength. It is only about a party on this occasion, but that does not mean we can't talk about it, it can't be reported etc otherwise where does it stop?
My opinion is also this: comparing one world situation to another is pointless. When i made my cup of morning tea, i didnt stop to think that in some parts of the world people do not have clean water, can't make a cuppa and therefore feel guilty about drinking it. Just like people shouldn't be made to feel guilty about thinking what a cluster our government are, just because someone elses govt is doing something worse

[maggiebee]

Well said bednobs.

[Ken4155]

Extremely well put, bednobs. Doubt you'll get BA though.

[joggerjayne]

Are we only allowed one News story at a time?

[ToraToraTora]

at the time the rule was that you could gather with people you work with at the same location. I don't see how plod can say that was not the case. However I advise not challenging it in the interests of moving on.

[Ken4155]

Perhaps plod know more of what actually took place than you do, TTT?

[Gromit]

And Johnson is going to stop this modern day Stalin, how exactly ?

He is just an impotent little greedy liar that blew all his international credibility when he was our incredibly bad foreign secretary and a laughing stock all over the world.

[dannyk13]

Gromit, instead of spouting your usual rubbish, do you think that you might just stick to the OP which doea not mention anything about Boris stopping Putin.

[Gromit]

I forget that you can never be arzed to read the links.

TTT is agreeing with the link. The link says his royal lieness should be saving the world not having to explain his untruths he said in the Commons.

[dannyk13]

Gromit//And Johnson is going to stop this modern day Stalin,//
I suggest that you read the link and point out to me where it says Boris is going to stop Putin.
