keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) I, Boris Johnson, do solemnly declare that what is in the dossier – the dossier which is mine – shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. (So help me God, let’s hope there isn’t one, or I’m a goner). Yes, I know this is a first. Edited March 21, 2023 by keelansgrandad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,582 Posted March 21, 2023 There may be more to come but the word beforehand from Johnson's "friends" was that he had been told by officials the parties were within the law. So far his statement is only saying no officals told him they were not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 21, 2023 The Committee has already established that he set the rules so has no excuse that he didn't know. Of course he is saying he knew the rules but was told by advisers that the gatherings were within those rules. He has even made the ridiculous assertion that the pictures were taken by the official photographer so they would hardly allow that if they were breaking the rules. I hope that straw is dry because he is sinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The f****r probably will get away. Yet somehow the outcome of the Privileges Committee is maybe still not the fall from grace I had felt was an appropriate one for this 'eternal child'. It depends on the sanctions. I think a bigger fall may come for him in the future. Just don't know when he will land to earth. Whatever one thinks of Sunak and his views he appears to be trying to tackle a few issues (even though the ERG and DUP will vote against his Windsor agreement). Johnson never seemed to be a serious leader for the country but certainly he has delusions about himself - in his own mind. That has become clearer. Wish he would keep those thoughts to himself however. Edited March 21, 2023 by sonyc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if that argument is successful, can I request that no one tells me it would be illegal to punch Boris Johnson in the face. At least until I’ve had a few tries.

He said in parliament in December 2020 that officials gave him assurances retrospectively. "Yes, Prime Minister" springs to mind. PS. Apparently the dodgy dossier had to be returned for correction to numerous typos before it could be published. Boris never could be bothered with detail.
