As for the impossible position Sue Gray is now in, perhaps that’s the point?

Does she have to accept the PM’s “implicit” belief in a work event was genuine?
If so, then what?

And what is she now meant to be "investigating"?

We already know that the ministerial code does not apply to any of this governments' ministers.
 
I don’t want all the anger around Boris to stop us hating Cameron as much as he deserves

Here is Boris Johnson's apology - a litany of lies :mad:

We are still left with it is OK to consume alcohol and get pissed on work premises and work time (how else is it a work event?) in a way not allowed in the bulk of the public sector...

And he's talking about what people "think" happened! No, you useless, arrogant, lying ****** of a sodding dissembling twat, we KNOW what happened, as we've seen the sodding photos and know about the invitations to a ******* PARTY!

There is no "think" about it. Unless you are useless ******* of a lying Old Etonian, whose thought processes, or what passes for them, are stuck at Sixth Form debating society sophistry.

Hislop's old description of this charlatan as a stupid person's idea of a clever person is more accurate by the second.

This time. But it will be harder for them to continue with a "VIP lane", which added to it getting harder to sell honours and trade party donations for favours, means the Tories have less to sell.

Well, the story as presented is that they had finished work for the day and popped out for some post-work decompression time but because they are so very dedicated, they were still doing work so, like Schrodinger's employment bureau they were simultaneously "at work" (so they could gather) and "not at work" (so they could drink). ;)

He's hoping that if he repeats the lie often enough, some people will come to believe it - and history shows that he's right. :mad:
 
Oh well, Chope thinks (well, it's Chope, so I use the term very, very loosely) that the apology is genuine enough, so that's all OK.

(For avoidance of doubt, my view is that Chope makes the term "useful idiot" an outright insult to all decent idiots out there.)
 
Some ministers will back him to the hilt because the closest they would get to a cabinet under anyone else would be in Ikea.
 
That we now know that drinking at work is acceptable, I can't wait to get back to work.
 
We have all heard of the Billy Bookcase. Now IKEA are bringing out a Boris Desk, which magically transforms into a drinks cabinet when the weather is lovely. It is cleverly designed to include a collapsable barbecue and has moulded trays which can embrace Kettle crisps, dips, salsa, vol au vents and cheeky little nibbles. There is a doggy rug for Dilyn that folds perfectly into the faux filing drawer and a nappy changing extension for Romy and Wilfrid. There is blotting paper available that matches the wallpaper and curtains and will soak up the booze ink. At the front of Boris Desk is a pop-up mirror so that one can see behind you in case Matty Hancock turns up or the reprobate Dom, so then you can operate the catapult that releases the stink bomb. It comes with an optional chaise longue for those occasions when Moggy needs to recline after a hard day erm, doing, ah, er...

Well that is one excuse I didn't expect.

I attended but didn't know it was a party.

Perhaps he saw people standing around chatting over drinks, and thought it was a meeting to arrange the next round of PPE contracts.
 
I just plucked up the courage to watch highlights on the BBC. He was utterly humiliated, destroyed, and looked it. A beaten man.

The only question now, for my money, is when he goes. I'd wager it could easily be this winter.

His sort bounce back easily, they don't dwell on things and have no conscience.

Edited to add....

He only looked beaten because it was the only way he could prevent himself from smirking.
