Today I sent this letter to the Guardian.
"The defenders of Boris Johnson claim that the public do not care about what happened years ago. They claim their mailbags contain nothing about ‘partygate’ and are more concerned with the cost of living crisis, war in Ukraine, anything that can distract from old pictures of the Prime Minister in full flow at an illegal gathering. They claim this as if the public were unconcerned about past events.
The public are concerned about the very current revelation that the Prime Minister is a serial law breaker and mis-leader of parliament. That is a very present matter, not something that happened over a year ago. The revelations are happening now.
If a burglar’s fingerprints are found all over a house and the culprit is arrested two years later, can one believe, “Oh he was only in the house for a couple of minutes and didn’t take anything and anyway, he only went inside to have a look”. Are we just to accept that?
On top of the specific photographic evidence of wrongdoing, we have endless footage of the Prime Minister in Parliament denying simple facts, and are being asked to believe that he was mis-informed at the time and, if he did mislead the house, it was unintentional. How many times can one unintentionally mislead the house by claiming to have been misinformed oneself? He goes on and on being mis-informed. Either he is a serial liar or a complete fool. In either case he is unfit to be prime minister.
The idea that the public are incapable of dealing with, and caring about, more than one concept at a time is an insult to the general public. The constituents on the doorstep, some MP’s claim never mentioned the breaches of lockdown rules, may not have got round to it or perhaps hadn’t taken it in as it had just been revealed. The law breaking is not old news it is very current news. The Prime Minister and his supporters mislead Parliament and the public on a grand scale.
It is time for him and his cabinet to move on as well as the rest of us. They have no answers. Is it not time to let others, who care more about people than dividends, try to find solutions? When will our public representatives finally bring this misleading to an end?"
The following Newsnight report only prolongs the ridiculous defence of Boris Johnson by allowing voice to the hipocrysy, in effect, without any serious challenge. It is no good just allowing this nonsense to continue by permitting these defenders to have a fnal word. No we cannot all agree this was a work event. This is the BBC trying to be objective and impartial and allowing the Prime minister to cling to power by not clearly stating the facts. Facts should not be up to interpretation.
