[Politics] Johnson Enquiry - The poll

[trueblue]

Considering he did everything possible to undermine parliamentary democracy, repeatedly lied about it, oversaw policies that cost lives while a fortune was diverted to friends of the party and dragged all politics into the gutter with his divide and conquer approach, anything short of prison could only be lenient. Couldn't care less which party - let's try to vote for some people who care about something other than themselves.

The question was has BJ been censured hard enough or not for the lies and behaviour while occupying the highest office of government in my opinion no he hasn’t but I would go further the MP’s who voted BJ into the job knew he had been sacked from every job previously for telling lies they knew he was unfit for such a high public office every of them should be censured and certainly no one on BJ’s honours list should receive anything.
BJ has gotten off virtually Scot free the worse I understand is they might revoke his Houses of Parliament pass but really
It only goes to highlight just how rotten to the core and unfit for purpose this current government is

I don’t think it would be unreasonable to stop his ex-MP allowance and ex-PM allowance, he has essentially been found guilty of gross misconduct in a private sector sense which would normally involve sacking and forfeiture of financial benefits

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 ?

Nope. I voted that the enquiry was fair in the poll.
I was making a point about democracy itself, and the contrast between parliament, which is a space and clearly identifiable, whereas democracy isn't (which is at the same time its strength or potential and its weakness and the method through which it is diminished).

Insufficient voting options, so just 'meh'.

I think he meant salient rather than questionable.

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

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

Bojo a nice cuddly clown.

His grandfather’s name was Kemal. Turkish
He decided Johnson sounded better when he came here. Stanley followed suit.

Alexander Boris de Pfeffle Kemal.

What was the answer to the question again?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This a very hard listen, and if you’re still grieving for someone, I would advise not listening to it. It is heartbreaking

 

[nicko31]

Think they got it about right.

Lets face it , this is just the start for Johnson, we have the Covid enquiry to come, apart from being a few weeks ahead on the vaccine he got very little right

My biggest problem with the report is the formatting. I really dislike it when paragraphs are split over a page - especially when the heading is on one page and the list on the next..!

Whoever told you that Witchfinders have to be grammatical experts, or even vaguely literate? Pitchforks do not require spelling abiity to make them work .........................

They were not alone in Anglicising their surname - we've just stuck a crown on Charlie Windsor...

PM lying to Parliament? And the entire U.K? Should have gone to prison.

I've read it over the last hour. Really don't know how he can come back from this really - it's what will be the lasting legacy / footnote on his political career. The careful analysis of the events and misleading of the house is strong - but they were obviously royally pissed off with his behaviour / statement / contempt when they gave him the advance copy. That really does seem to have annoyed the committee more than anything else.

A very sound piece of work.

 

[Lever]

He's taken the p1ss but this was an obvious witch-hunt from day one.

Don't care where he ends up, I've moved on.

As usual your comment has a single truth wrapped in silliness.... line one first half is accurate comment, second half is plain daft; the Report is full of evidence-supported facts and whether you approve or not, due process has been followed; your 'witch hunt' remark is a lazy, unsubstantiated cliche.

As for your final announcement ..... (Luke 15:10)

I hope you can move on to somewhere sensible now......

 

[rogersix]

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.

Wow ! Utmost respect to Ms Derbyshire, fully understood the facts and called out his bullshit and headed off his attempts to twist the story to place Johnson as a victim. Good on her !
