Press briefing: on March 23, 2020, Boris Johnson ordered the UK into lockdown in a live TV broadcast. He explained that all public gatherings were banned and this was to be enforced by police action including arrest and fines. He is now saying that he did not understand those rules when he permitted huge parties to take place at 10 Downing Street during the time he had locked the UK down.

Boris Johnson is trying to take us all for fools.

His latest attempt to duck out of responsibility for those Downing Street lockdown parties is in a televised interview in which the PM, masked to hide his liars smirk(?), tells us nobody told him that having a social event in the Downing Street garden involving more than a handful of people was against lockdown rules.

This is obviously a lie. Not only was Johnson the one who announced the rules to us on March 23, 2020 …

But he was also reminded of those rules on the day of the party called by his own Personal Private Secretary, Martin Reynolds – according to his then-advisor, Dominic Cummings.

Johnson has denied it but we know that Johnson is a liar. When a liar accuses another person of lying, who do you believe?

The evidence is irrefutable.

But Johnson’s Tory supporters (a dwindling group, it must be admitted) still say they’re waiting for the results of an inquiry by Johnson’s civil service employee Sue Gray, saying they’ll consider what to do if Johnson is found to have lied.

Johnson’s supporters are desperately trying to convince us that Gray’s inquiry will be impartial; it won’t. It can’t be. And even if she tries to run it in that manner, it won’t make much difference. It was commissioned by her boss, Boris Johnson. It will report to her boss, Boris Johnson. And her boss Boris Johnson will decide what action to take, based on its findings.

We all know from experience that he’ll find in his own favour, even if the evidence is as damning as we all know it should be.

His detractors, of course, don’t have to wait.

One last thing:

Remember that whenever Johnson tells us he “didn’t understand the rules” that he himself announced to us, live on television.
