Can't imagine Biden surviving a session like this.
I wonder if the Brit Kopz would have fined a Labour PM.
He’s such a dork that he deserves all the crap thrown at him over this 🤪
What’s this the 3rd time for partygate? I’m with Boris , screw the lockdowns and let’s party:-)
Didn’t Johnson resign over this?
After all, it blew the lid of the shamdemic.
The so-called “Partygate” scandal, which emerged in late 2021, has sparked the most serious threat to Johnson’s premiership to date. Revelations that the Prime Minister attended several parties had already prompted furious calls for him to resign even before Tuesday’s announcement of a police fine.
Johnson’s handling of the scandal also sparked condemnation. The Prime Minister initially rebuffed allegations of illegal gatherings by saying there were no parties. When images from these gatherings started to appear in UK media, he said he didn’t know about them and that he was outraged. After another image emerged showing him and his wife allegedly attending one such party, he apologized, but said he thought he was attending “a work event.”
The police launched an investigation into the string of gatherings after a January report by senior civil servant Sue Gray, commissioned by the government, condemned “a serious failure” to observe the standards of government.
The Gray report said the police were investigating at least 12 events — including at least two Johnson attended, and a third held in his flat that he previously told lawmakers did not happen. The police said later it was investigating events taking place on eight separate dates between May 2020 and April 2021.
The Met said in a statement it was given more than 300 photos and 500 pages of information to review during the investigations.

Given the amount of evidence handed to them, the Metropolitan police pretty much had to issue fines.
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that this Boris guy is nothing but a doofus. No political ideology except reigning as King Doofus.

Candidate for upperclass twit of the year.
Yep, Boris went from appearing to be Britain’s Trump to Britain’s Biden.
I would agree if it were not for the fact that he insisted others lockdown.
And what difference is that from here? You see any of the hypocrites here getting fired?
He should be fined for that haircut.
