[Politics] Boris Johnson served County Court judgment.

[Pinkie Brown]

Who has Johnson stiffed to warrant a judgment at Northampton? First Lord of the Treasury?

Can easily happen. Especially if you've had different addresses.

Non story really.

Home of the cobblers, got to be foot related. As in putting his foot in it.

It was served relatively recently to Number 10 Downing Street and he hasn't had that many addresses.

As anyone knows, you get a number of warnings before the courts get involved and let's be fair - whoever he owes the money to would have a reasonable idea of where to send the letters to.

It's not that he's had one, but he's not paid it for 6 months. He's earning £150k per year and hasn't settled up? Something fishy there.

excellent. imagine the scene at no10 when the bailiff shows up.

He probably thought one of his friends/donors had paid it already.

Paul is standing by.

What's the law on CCJ's and holding a political office? As it's not mentioned I presume it wont affect his position as PM.

Only if he's made bankrupt - he'd have to resign in that case

 

[nickbrighton]

its not like he has had anything else on his mind is it, say like a global pandemic, financial crisis, nationwide vaccine rollout or anything else remotely important

You can just see sections of the left salavating at another "scandal" that the general population really doesn't give a toss about (who actually cares about the wallpaper-certainly not the voters in Hartlepool ) as they desperately try to ignore and deflect from the more important issue that they are still unelectable and unable to provide even the semblance of an opposition party even after Brexit, Covid , the aforementioned Wallpaper incident and now an unpaid bill for what will probably turn out to be an forgotten batch of hair straighteners or something

..another "scandal" that the general population really doesn't give a toss about

You clearly got the memo from Central Office.

However the reality is what the general public think is irrelevant, it's whether our PM has broken the law not the rules.

And that's why he is currently under investigation.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It’s almost as if Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson creates these scenarios where they can claim the left care more about these ‘scandals’ than the ‘real’ issues that the voters care about, isn’t it.

Pay on time and this won't happen regardless of how often you move.

its not like he has a partner and an army of secretaries, staff and other lackeys to check that he is paying his bills. Ever tried the "I was busy doing other things" as a defence against a claim against you in the County court? You know how far that would get you? Wanna guess?

And I'm not giving Boris personal credit for the vaccine rollout. That has been a great success because the NHS took it over and did it. If they hadn't he would have stuck Dildo Harding in charge and we would still be looking for the "I've been a brave boy" stickers.

You have such a dismissive view of people paying their bills, I presume you have never been in business yourself and have no understanding of the importance of cashflow, particular to the small independents.
