Could Boris Johnson be prosecuted under HIS OWN police Bill?
Don’t get your hopes up: remember that government ministers in the UK are automatically above the law and will never be prosecuted for breaking it. There is no rule explicitly saying this but just try to get the police to put one of them in jail.
Wouldn’t it be typically weird of Boris Johnson if he passed an Act of Parliament by which he himself could be imprisoned?
Take a look at this:

So according to Johnson’s own Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, anyone – at all – who commits an act that causes serious harm to the public or a section of the public, recklessly as to whether it will have such a consequence, could be sent to jail for up to 10 years?
Wouldn’t the catalogue of mistakes that has caused at least 150,000 deaths due to Covid-19 qualify as such an act?
Oh, but wait.
Johnson and all his Cabinet ministers are above the law and need never fear prosecution by the police services they own.
(Sorry. I forgot that for a moment.)
What? You thought nobody in the UK is above the law? Think again.
