Listen to this.
Richard Nixon, May 1974: "I have furnished not only to the Congress but to the American people, all of the relevant evidence with regard to an issue which has been of very great interest to the American people and I simply say this tonight: the time has come to get #Watergate behind us and get on with the business of the country."
Sound familiar? One difference: thousands of people a day weren't dying in 1974.

A reminder - as if any of us needs one - of the utter contempt in which Johnson, his staff, those who aided and abetted him (and continue to do so) and those who are defending him TO THIS DAY hold us all.

Evening Standard, 3rd April 2020: Funeral of London boy, 13, who died with Covid-19, held without family

Wow. A guy I used to follow on the other place, who represents his late wife Katie by tweeting about Covid justice, has produced this image, which he's entitled "They Deserved Better"

I know I say this all the time, but #FFS. How many times? Parliamentary procedures are not legal proceedings. And this coming from the people (Brexiters) who illegally prorogued Parliament and lied to Her Maj. From GPLB:
"Steven Swinford in the Times says the Johnson dossier will say that a judicial review would conclude that the privileges committee process was unlawful"
This is getting ridiculous.

"Boris Johnson is now encouraging Tory MPs to block the privileges committee inquiry." (GPLB)
Because of course he is. He just got kicked in the dick on #Brexit, he's going to be toast once he's at the Committee, so here we go with The Tragic Fuckabout, episode 399210. 🙄 🤬 #JohnsonTheLiar #UKPolitics #Covid #TheyPartiedWhileWeDied #Partygate #FuckTheTories

OH #FFS 🤬
Here come the Bunter fan club. This is my fave from Peter fucking Bone, no less: "The privileges committee has today admitted its key witness is none other than Sue Gray (it said the opposite), Keir Starmer’s chief of staff (she isn't until ACOBA rule on it, at least *three months from now*) … This is a farce."
Stop sniffing the tippex, Pete.

JESUS CHRIST. I missed this one. (from GPLB):
"WhatsApp message: [No. 10 official, 28/04/2021, 16:47:12] “[No. 10 official]’s worried about leaks of PM having a piss up and to be fair I don’t think it’s unwarranted”
Paging The Metropolitan Police ...
Also paging Uxbridge Conservative Association ...

Cttee report (we're still on para 32):
"The evidence strongly suggests that breaches of guidance would have been obvious to
Mr Johnson at the time he was at the gatherings. There is evidence that those who were
advising Mr Johnson about what to say to the press and in the House were themselves
struggling to contend that some gatherings were within the rules."
Stay tuned for the WhatsApp messages,

Can you drop a mic in a written report? Para 32
"There is evidence that the House of Commons may have been misled in the following
ways which the Committee will explore:
subsection b)
" [The House] may have been misled when Mr Johnson failed to tell the House about his own
knowledge of the gatherings where the rules or guidance had been broken. That is because there is evidence that he attended them."

Committee report para 30: " On 8 December 2021, Mr Johnson told the House “I have been repeatedly assured ... there was no party and that no Covid rules were broken". We will consider why he said he had been given repeated assurances when the evidence is that the assertion that all rules were followed was taken primarily from a line-to-take developed by the Director of Communications at No. 10"

Committee report page 13, para 28: "On 1 December 2021, Mr Johnson told the House: “All guidance was followed
completely in No. 10”. We will consider why Mr Johnson told the House that no guidance
had been broken in No. 10 when he knew what the guidance was and was in attendance
at gatherings where the guidance was breached; and why he failed to tell the House about the gatherings at which he had been present." #UKPolitics #Covid #Partygate #TheyPartiedWhileWeDied #FuckTheTories

#AmbushedByACake (Cttee report footnotes 29-30):
"A number of individuals gathered in the Cabinet Room in No 10 Downing Street to wish the Prime Minister a
happy birthday."
Regulations stated:
“No person may participate in a gathering which—
(a) consists of two or more people, and
(b) takes place indoors (including indoors within a private dwelling).”
@capnthommo I think monumentally may have been an understatement after all.

Why the hell do I do it to myself? Decided to listen to WATO to see what they've got to say about the Privileges Committee report. Instead they've got an interview with Mad Nads about Sue Gray's new job and how it has "discredited her Partygate report". The presenter even casts doubt on her independence himself.

Boris Johnson:
"... claims he does not understand why he was fined over Partygate" (via GPLB)

This man should *never* have been allowed even to attempt a rehabilitation, via I'm a Celebrity or any other method. His defence for *allowing the unnecessary deaths of TENS OF THOUSANDS of vulnerable people*? It's an accusation that has been " ... spun to fit anti-lockdown agenda". I hope the Covid inquiry absolutely *crucifies* the c*nt. Which it won't. 🤬🤬🤬

So the Partygate inquiry is looking at something that might be the *exclusive* responsibility of Bunter and he's suddenly desperate to uphold the Brexit orthodoxy DURING THE SAME NEWS CYCLE? What a fucking coincidence.
