Police inquiry whitewashes Johnson’s links with Jennifer Arcuri
Johnson and Arcuri: the IOPC delayed its report into their relationship by months, even after its declared reason for doing so (local elections) was cancelled.
Well, what did we expect?
This Writer has noticed a distinct reluctance on the part of the police to investigate any alleged wrongdoings of government ministers – including and especially the prime minister – ever since I started writing politics.
George Osborne’s paddock is an example that leaps to mind, having written about it again within the past week.
It seems these people – squalid though they may be – are utterly above the law.
So there’s evidence to believe that Johnson had an intimate relationship with Ms Arcuri, then?
But the £126,000 he gave her in three separate deals was entirely appropriate?
And so were the decisions to bring her on three trade missions in 2014 and 2015?
Will the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which carried out this investigation, be taking questions on this decision and defending its findings?
Or will it just stonewall as usual and say “this is what we found, like it or lump it”?
The good news is that the arrival of this decision – several months late, and for no reason after local elections were cancelled – means other inquiries by the London Assembly and the London Mayor’s Office can now get back under way.
Perhaps these organisations will return a more believable verdict than our supposedly-impartial law guardians.
For clarity: if the police have cleared Johnson of criminal behaviour in this matter, I don’t believe a word of it.

That poor man was at death’s door y’know?
Yes, THREE days in ICU without needing a ventilator; doctors – biros in hand – ready to sign his death certificate, until providence gave him a miraculous recovery on a par with the messiah – (re)entering the ‘tomb’ of a ‘normal’ ward on Good Friday , and Ascending (to Chequers) on Easter Sunday.
Praise Him! Praise Him! He has given birth to the son of god, giving everyone ‘a new sign of hope’ (According to iain dummkopf-schmitt – who’s obviously mixed up his Easter films, mistaking ‘Ben Hur’ for ‘Star Wars’).
