Concerning the Partygate Fines why was Boris Johnson and other Tory Party Goers only fined £50 when other people were being given fines of upwards of £5000 and in some cases as much as £14,000? Why were these Partygate fines so disprotionate to other Lockdown fines. Why have the Metropolitan Police treated Partygate fines so leniently in comparison to other Lockdown Fines issued? There is a sense that the Partygate fines given were too lenient. Are other Lockdown Fines given out excessive and in comparison. How can the Met Police explain the disproportionality between these amounts? Have the Metropolitan Police got questions that need to be asked about why the fines given out to Tory Partygate attendees were so dimunitive? It appears that these people have been treated different from others who were also fined during Covid Lockdowns. Why was Partygate treated so superficially by the Metropolitan Police Force? Specifically why were these fines, given to Partygate attendees so diminutive in comparison to other fines that were metered out to ordinary people? Also being that the police had a presence at Downing Street throughout Lockdowns shouldn’t questions be asked as to why they apparently knew nothing or if they certainly did then why did they not act on it at the time? Why did it take a leak of information to bring the matter to the attention of the police?
Category: Boris Johnson
Boris Johnson is currently the Prime Minister of the UK and the leader of the Conservative Party. Yes it is hard to believe really. Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party was elected on an agenda of so called ‘levelling up and Let’s get Brexit done’ both of which topics had popularist appeal at the last General Election in the UK. Here I present a series of posts examining Boris Johnson’s appeal, or not as the case may be, to the British voters. These posts examine his style, his off the cuff and unsubstantiated remarks, and his abilities to function as the foremost embassador of Britain, and for Britain on the political world stage. These posts look at Johnson’s performance both past and present in political office and ask questions regarding his trustworthiness to hold highest political office. These posts ask serious questions about his validity as a credible Prime Minister of Britain. They look at the role of self promotion and his manipulation of the media and his style of campaign which has ultimately given Boris Johnson the fulfillment of a lifetime ambition and perhaps the unfullfillment of that ambition. These posts look at Boris Johnson’s impact upon the political landscape of the UK and it’s implications for the future of serious politics and his impact on the environmental debate regarding the future of the Planet.
Boris Johnson appears to be discombobulated about the interpretation of his own policies
It now appears that Boris Johnson is discombobulated about the interpretation of his own policies whilst in government. What after all is an ‘office gathering’ and how could that be exempt from the rules about gatherings that he and his government imposed during Lockdown. Now we have it confirmed that a party actually took place ( by his own admission) then surely the matter should be handed over to the police to investigate and prosecute those involved.
As a final thought it appears that this Government sit around drinking alcohol whilst they think up and design all these rules regulations and laws: so is it really any wonder that they have such difficulties understanding them themselves?
Levelling up was just a slogan to defuse the power of real Socialist Economic Principles
The idea of levelling up was just a slogan to diffuse the power of real Socialist Economic Principles. This is how the Tories were using it to divide tradional voting loyalties in an attempt to grab power away from Labour. There was no substance to their claims that they can level up Britain. The Tories were hinting or trying to convince voters that they were offering some form of socialism which simply isn’t true. Using the ‘levelling up’ slogan and banner was an attempt to steal ground from various political parties with a bona-fide claim to real socialist policies. The Tories were obviously pretty scarred of socialism and socialist policies which have become increasingly important to the British voters. It is a clever ploy with the intention of making you believe that The Tories are something which they definitely are not. The Tories are not socialists nor will they ever be but ‘levelling up ‘ was simply a slogan and a ploy to make you believe they could be. However the General Election of 2019 was simply a single policy election and not many voters actually looked beyond that. The only issue for voters was who they believed could get Brexit done as swiftly as possible: because everyone was fed up with hearing about it.
Boris Johnson’s environmental credibility is exposed as fraudulent
Boris Johnson’s environmental credibility was exposed as fraudulent yesterday by the derogatory comments he published in the Sun newspaper.
Sadly I cannot understand why his terms of reference were not picked up and discussed more fully in the general media. In Johnson’s belief ithe announcement was made to give more weight to his credibility as an environmental campaigner but in reality it simply exposed him as a fraud who believes that those with environmental concerns belong to a class of hippies who basically walk around in sandals and who are all obviously vegetarian in Johnson’s eyes. To have his utter garbage pedalled by the Sun is really no surprise because Johnson knows who his mindless audience is and as such is pandering to their prejudices as well. To have these kind of beliefs and assumptions coming from our Prime Minister is unhelpful and not the kind of language that helps to unify us all behind a valid and urgent cause. It makes a mockery of and belittles the debate on the environment and polarises one side against another and it is now quite obvious in which camp Boris Johnson actually has a foot in.

Boris Johnson’s ‘Oven ready Deal’ turns out to be Brexit Fudge Cake after all
PM Boris Johnson is claiming victory for the deal struck with the EU but isn’t all this, including the run up to the deal, just posturing. The whole thing has just been posturing or more clearly just a Pantomime from start to finish. There never was doubt that a deal was going to be done because it had to be done to save face. A no deal would certainly have kicked the Tories into political oblivion by an act of suicide. Now in truth the whole exercise just looks like a vehicle used by Boris Johnson to ouwst Theresa May and obtain leadership and power in a egotistical political quest that smacks of ambition more than to be a political servant to the will of the people.
So in the run up to the deal we witnessed tough talk but it was all just empty posturing done as an act of showmanship. It was a complete act but equally transparent like the script of a Pantomine. The whole thing smacked of being rehearsed and all the characters were transparent. The truth is that Bodge it simply had no choice other than to strike some kind of deal. The EU would also have understood this but went along with the show almost like an audience at a Pantomime, but all the while ensuring that they would be the real winners. So how does the deal compare to what was promised? From what I have read it doesn’t bear much semblance to what was actually promised. It puts Northern Ireland in jeopardy of seeking actual independence from the UK and could mean a reintroduction of the tensions and troubles as the possibility of a unified Ireland takes focus. Goods in the UK are likely to be more expensive as a result of added red tape. Fisheries have been thrown to the lions as the sacrifice for retaining tariff free trading. Not to mention the chaos for businesses and movement that will happen as a result of leaving a mere week (less if you take into account the holidays) to sort out all the additional details and protocol required, and all because Boris Johnson and the government wanted to sort out the deal in the lowest possible profile hoping that it would slip by largely unnoticed. ‘Bodge it’ was in a tight corner but as usual he is attempting to claim victory where in actual fact there has been none at all. The reality is that the whole thing has been a rather embarrassing fiasco showing up, Boris Johnson, ‘ Bodge-it’ and his Government for what they are:incompetent.
Brexit was not a quest for Sovereignty it became a vehicle for personal political ambition and power

Oven ready Brexit Deal now exposed as a lie to grab power
The electorate were promised a Brexit Deal which now looks like a lie because there clearly was no ‘Oven Ready Deal’ there at all. The electorate were clearly misled about Brexit and hence about the consequences of a no deal scenario.
The Tories now need to be taken to account on misleading the public. A no deal will be hugely consequential to the British economy and to the Tories who have to take the blame for mismanagement of the whole fiasco. The blame can be traced back to the incompetence of Cameron who mooted the whole idea in the first place. There is no one else to blame for the consequences of a no deal except the Tories and Bodge it himself in particular. No deal will cost jobs and lead to misery and a recession. The Tories will not be able to weather the storm that is coming.
Cringe worthy Conservative Party political broadcast 05/02/20
The Conservative Party Political Broadcast last night was cringe worthy in true Boris style. It was more like a confessional and featured some sap that was prepared to go on national TV and admit that he had betrayed his working class roots by admitting to having voted Tory in the last election. The style of the interview was like a confessional having admitted to having committed the ultimate sin by voting Tory. Then to add to the public humiliation and embarrassment he then actually got to meet the ‘devil’ himself. The message seemed to be that you live on even after committing the ultimate sin and the devil welcomes sinners. The whole set up was so false and again deviates from serious politics in true Bodge-it style. That poor bloke who appeared in that garbage is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life and live with the knowledge of his very public betrayal of his working class background. No matter how you want to look at it, it is still wrong. Please do not wrestle with your demons in public it is embarrassing!
‘Let’s get Brexit done’ is just an attempt to dumb down the General Election by the Tories
‘Let’s get Brexit done’ the General Election 2019 mantra from the Tories is just an attempt to dumb down the General Election 2019 into a single issue election. The reason they are doing this is primarily to avoid scrutiny of the key areas where the Tories have let down the British people whilst they have been in government and that amounts to every single area of policy. The Tories have failed Britain whilst in government in every single way possible. It was the Tories under Cameron that introduced this whole debacle. Now they are attempting to avoid proper scrutiny of their miserable failings by attempting to bring this General election down to a single issue Election. Don’t let them get away with it. The Tories should be held accountable for their miserable performance whilst in government by stating very clearly that we don’t want them back in power. Let’s get Brexit done should really be interpreted as let’s get Brexit dumb.
Bodge-it’s ready made Brexit is inedible and bin ready right now
Bodge-it is normally very good at cooking the figures and adding too much spice. Now it seems he has turned his culinary talents towards constructing ready meals. He has named or coined a phrase for these meals calling them ‘Ready Made Brexit’. However his first foray into the culinary world of Brexit might be more aptly described as ‘Bodge’s Stodge’ because his latest ready made Brexit is inedible and bin ready right now.

Bodge, the childish megalomaniac, thinks that by sulking he will get his own way & make Europe give in
Bodge-it thinks that by sulking he will get his own way and Europe will just give in to his demands. Well this is a fine strategy and one more worthy of a kindergarten and really less becoming of a so called statesman or Prime Minister. Meanwhile it has given Bodge the chance to pretty much resume his role of London Major and that means pretty much going around doing nothing much at all. This is what Bodge-it does best of course. Now he has taken to going around with his imaginary chequebook promising everyone large sums of cash in an attempt to please everyone and buy his election votes.
