What does continue to amaze me is that the people involved with the party were not concerned by possible moles or whistle blowers.
Were those same people surprised when junior diplomat Raphael Marshall gave so much evidence about the fall of Kabul to the Taliban?
The assumption that the public is so gullible does rankle with me, I admit.
smurfchops, the police have not always "turned a blind eye" to Boris.

Naomi- //Mozz, I have no time for people who tell damaging and spiteful lies about other people - but you should know that …//
Indeed I do, but what I didn't know was that you find it more acceptable to tell potentially damaging lies to the nation a person is supposed to be leading. As I said on the other thread, we all have our biases when it comes to who's telling the porkies.

"housebuyer, the people at that get together didn’t make the rules."
How do you know? We don't know who was there. It has been reported that Boris even gave a speech at one of the other 'incidents' that is under investigation (and another one of the incidents was allegedly held in his flat) so we'll just have to wait for the conclusion of the investigations before we know what has happened.
But in any case, as has been said before, it's not the initial crime that will kill you - it's the attempts at lies and coverups afterwards that will.
""How is that petty? " - what do you want to happen?"
It all depends on what the investigations uncover. But if they did break the rules then at the very least I would expect the people in attendance and the people who organised it / them to be treated in the same way as the general public have been.
If the investigations uncover that senior figures were in attendance / knew about them but did nothing / lied about them / attempted to cover them up etc then that is a very different situation. But at the moment that's just speculation.
Naomi - I am still interested to know why you think people's anger at the possibility of a hypocritical government that prosecutes its own citizens for breaking the same rules that it has broken is 'petty'.

////How do you know? We don't know who was there.////
And there you have it. We don’t know who was there but you appear to be hoping that there is more to this than we 'know' and pushing it for all you're worth. Relishing the prospect in fact. Me? Unlike all the ABers who always appear to be so squeaky clean and just waiting for someone they don't like to make a mistake, I'm no paragon of virtue - and frankly, I’d rather be me than any of them.
Mozz, when you criticise people for telling porkies I can no longer take you seriously.
