[Politics] Johnson Enquiry - The poll

[Is it PotG?]

Clearly not moved on enough to tell us that you've moved on. Will you tell us when you've really moved on?

 

[lawros left foot]

It's all so unimportant and irrelevant right now. Leave the bloke alone. The only important thing is to get this enquiry finished so that we don't make the same stupid mistakes again - for example lockdowns, face masks, social distancing.

And voting for a proven liar who used a worldwide pandemic to facilitate the looting of billions of pounds in public funds.

 

[Easy 10]

I agree with that

 

[worthingweird]

The greatest PM since Maggie...

Similarly, whilst he took the p1ss, he did some good things along the way.

I would hope his detractors recognise this, and acknowledge it amidst their celebration of the burning effigy.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I agree with that

 

[Hugo Rune]

And this. Sums it up perfectly.

That has to be a candidate for peak Pie.

The ‘boiled sweet in a hoover bag’ is a slight of pure genius.

The haunted pencil is all over the TV tonight defending the indefensible in some sick parody of the fighting talk game.

And for those who had any doubt, he was born a pencil. This is him at University in 1883:

Can't help thinking of the queen adhering to the rules especially Phillips funeral why they broke them at will

Are you suggesting that the process was 'undemocratic' ?

The enquiry comprised of 4 out of 7 tory MPs, democratically elected by the House to investigate.

They provided their recommendations as to the punishment - which would have gone to the house to vote on (a large tory majority). Had those recommendations been ratified, he would still have had the opportunity to go to a by-election to save his seat. A vote from the public.

HE chose to run away from all this by resigning in a fit of pique. So what has been undemocratic ?

It's either " WAS comprised of " or "CONSISTED of",

Not really getting the haunted pencil's argument that, as Jenkins allegedly was at a party, he shouldn't have been on the committee.

The committee wasn't whether Johnson was at a party, or not, it's whether he deliberately misled parliament.

If anything, you would think Jenkins potentially being at a lockdown party would increase his leniency towards Johnson

The Queen was not alone in sticking to the rules nationwide.

What would your retribution/punishment/revenge be for BoJo?

For lying to the nation, including the Queen, repeating those lies in Parliament, then lying about lying to parliament, then lying to the independent committee about lying to parliament, then leaking that committee's report, lying about that report and then treating that committee with complete and utter contempt ? What do you think ?

And of all of Johnson's hills (of which there are many), this is the one you've chosen to die on

This is how it works.

Person asks question, person replies.

With another question (albeit minus the punctuation) ?

I'll leave you to it, I don't think you need any help from me

I'm sure that someone, somewhere, in some desperate situation does however.

I’ll take this one.

Retribution or revenge? No. Nothing at all.

This is punishment for his behaviour over breaking rules and then lying over and over about it. Johnson was all about breaking conventions, pairing the punishments to the guilty party that also break a few conventions is therefore fitting in this particular case..

1. He must be made to pay the tax payer back the £245k we spent on his legal fees defending his lies.

2. His honours list must be ripped up. The conspirators who helped him lie and party must not face reward for their ignominious behaviour.

3. MP and ministerial pensions withdrawn.

4. Severance payment of around £19,000 when he was forced out of No.10 by his own party, paid back.

5. Publicly-funded security from specialist police protection officers and official chauffeur-driven government car withdrawn (perks for former PMs).

6. Withdrawal of legal support if he is sued over decisions he took whilst in government.

7. Withdrawal of taxpayer-funded legal help for his evidence to the ongoing Covid inquiry.

8. Withdrawal of £115k former PM “special position in public life" annual allowance.

9. Parliament pass taken away permanently.

10. Life membership of Privy Council removed.

11. Lifetime ban on standing in public office.


There we go, I got through that (with a little help from a BBC news piece) without calling for any violence to be unleashed on him at all. I’m quite proud of myself!
