Here's the slimmed down Sue Gray report. 12 parties are being investigated by the Met but a couple of excerpts that I've read should be of concern to no10.

An update on the investigation into alleged gatherings on government premises during Covid restrictions.

If the Met isnt 'prosecuting something far more significant than a 'fixed penalty notice'

The nation should consider the Met an unmitigated  corrupt organisation.

 

There is NO excuse I can see for redacting the report unless there is a reasonable expectation and evidence for significant prosecutions

I wonder if 300 photos and 500 pages of documents are enough to make the Met think it's worth investigating now...

[tobyjugg2]

Well, he said sorry very reluctantly, then immediately started claiming he would deal with it and the report didnt say he did anything wrong.

 

all lies of course, just like anything he says to anyone

[honeybee13]

It won't come as a surprise that Johson still hasn't paid his share of the Garrick Club dinner three months ago, organised by Charles Moore and where it's suspected Owen Paterson's problems at the time were discussed.

 

Stephen Glover of The Oldie has said that the PM is the only guest who hasn't paid his share and Glover also picked up the tab for three policemen of the security detail who ate sirloin steaks at his expense. The last paragraph in this article.

I'm still waiting for piccies of the met security scoffing cake at the parties ..

or at least someone taking them cake ..

[honeybee13]

That would be interesting, TJ. It has been said that the Met may have held back on investigating because of the questions sorrounding their people at no10.

Rumored to have been Overheard:

 

Londongrad end of call:

Hello its Boris put me through to Mr Putin

 

Russian end:

Just a moment, I’ll see if anyone is available to instruct you

Then Muffled as if someone has a hand half over the phone: It’s the Londongrad mudak begging to talk to someone Mr 3rd assistant Sir.

And a muffled response - You deal with the kozyol. I'm talking to Goveski then Trusski about them maintaining their funding.

[big sigh heard]

I am the 4^th assistant to the second undersecretary to the Foreign office. That’s Mr 4^th assistant to you.

What do you want?

 

Londongrad end:

I want to reschedule the meeting with Mr Putin. How about tomorrow.

 

Russian end:

[laughter] Well you weren’t going to be meeting with Mr Putin anyway, and the relevant undersecretary will be briefing and instructing your replacements tomorrow as its been to awkward for the Oligarchs that fund you all to be seen with any of you due to your incompetence. They do have their reputations to maintain..

Maybe the day after.

 

Londongrad end:

But but [click] hello hello

Who does? Any agreements Quite literally not worth the paper they are written on.

On that point though (trust) 'Nato' is quite clearly breaching prior agreements with the Russians not to encroach on their borders - although in a far 'softer' way than the Russians are.

 

and on from that - pretty stupid relying on Russian gas.

We should be well on the way to hydrogen gas usage replacing fossil gas now.

Two Brexit-related articles here. George Monbiot thinks the Bexit Freedoms Bill is one-sided and that the freedoms won't be for ordinary people.

The wealthy ghouls who fund the Tory party expect their quid pro quo – and this legislation will deliver it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

 

Chris Grey has looked at the Benefits of Brexit paper and his headline assessment is 'Chris Grey looks at the untruths, half truths and vague aspirations of the 102 page report on the benefits of leaving the EU, and discovers a ministerial power grab and a glaring failure to account for any of the costs'

[tobyjugg2]

British business still says there are no benefits to Brexit and MANY deeply damaging aspects

 

Food prices increased by 20-30% - no articles - just go shopping

Transport fuel costs up 20%+ - no links - just put some fuel in your car

Home energy costs up 50% and rising - no links just check your bill if you aren't temporarily sitting on a fixed price - mines just run out.

 

No-one threatening our place in the single market

- tell that to the UK businesses who know differently and the lorry queues (even after all those now bypassing the UK) at the ports

 

Great trade deals

- take a look at the Australian trade deal - Latvia has a better one.

 

Reduce VAT was claimed

- Nope - even refusing to reduce VAT on soaring energy bills

 

The only benefits are to those who will benefit from reduced standards and regulations -

Criminals and populist multi-millionaires (if you want to make a distinction)

 

 

Demonstrated by Inflation at its highest in 30 years

Billions for levelling up 'wasted' as ministers pick wrong projects and ignore 'what works', study warns

 

Billions of pounds spent on "levelling up" may be wasted because ministers are picking projects too small to revive poorer areas, a report has warned. 

 

The damning research comes as a long-delayed blueprint for Boris Johnson's flagship policy is unveiled today. 

 

The levelling up white paper will set out 12 legally-binding "missions", including to increase pay, jobs, investment, transport connections, home ownership and school results in poorer areas, while cutting crime. 

 

The report, from the National Audit Office, has sharply criticised grants from the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund and £3.2bn Towns Fund for not being "based on evidence".

Only levelling up they plan is more bureaucracy and useless costly elected mayor's and admin meanwhile they will level property and tangible assets up to the elites so that WE own nothing and are happy in 2030 as envisioned by Klaus Schwab and the WEF, The greased piglet Johnson, is on the Davos message and  Trudeau, Macron, and Adern are from the WEF young Leader's programme.

[tobyjugg2]

Tell you what gets me

 

That Johnson on the ropes fires of a previously prepared nasty lie at Starmer, like the recent one effectively accusing Starmer of letting Saville of the hook

 

Why didnt:P

 

a) the speaker demand John son retract his lies

 

b) Starmet just fire back - 'thats rich from a PM who whips his party to protect a pal of his found guilty of egrecious lobbying on behalf of companies paying him 100k+ a year for lobbying - alongside whipping his party to leave British kids hungry while he eats cake at lockdown breaching parties

Edited February 2, 2022 by tobyjugg2

Starmer also does have other form, not Savile allegedly related to shovelling the Pakistani Grooming of underage girls in Rotherham and other places.  I regard them all as equally dire.

That people on forums propagate the lies isnt helpful either - to anyone but Johnson the corrupt liar

 

Starmer realised the failings of the system and tried to address them unlike Johnson entrenching failings

So,

Anyone still want to claim that Starmer did ANY hiding of Child abuse?

Or anything other than acknowledging failures and having them investigated and trying to define a better solution?

 

Let alone use those false claims as ANY sort of excuse for Johnson.

 

Anyone who even considers that should check the what the figures on violent sexual crimes are under Johnson and give their opinion a thorough workout against some actual facts rather than listening to some no name doctored source spun by three Tory MPs who undoubtedly knew they were lies, and a lying corrupt actual ****** who will say anything and throw anyone to the dogs to protect himself from the kickback from his own corruption

 

[unclebulgaria67]

Starmer apologised for failings within the CPS, but the CPS is a large organisation spread around the UK.

 

Very different situation to Boris Johnson who lived and worked in the place, where there was regular law breaking taking place, if all of what has been reported is true/accurate.

 

And remember that Jimmy Saville was pretty close to the Tory party for a long period
