I agree. Where you stick it is nobody else's business and I don't care if someone is gay, straight or whatever but it has always pissed me off when people feel the need to announce what sort of sexual activity they feel is their 'bag'. The vast majority of straight people don't feel the need to announce it to everyone they ever meet and, if I have ever met a fetishist or someone who gets off on animals or anything elsxe I am not aware of it as they certainly haven't felt the need to announce it to all and sundry or have a day to celebrate it.

They both tend to wait for an opportunity to drop it in to any conversation don't they? It will be 'as a gay man' or 'as a Vegan' and will often have nothing to do with the conversation they have simply been dying to tell everybody.

Boris, his wife , and the boy Rishi have been given a fine for party gate during the pandemic - before the Russian invasion I would have been baying for his blood after all the shit we had to put up with!

But Boris’s attempted Churchillan efforts in support of Ukraine, although often comedic, is making me wonder if this is the moment Boris was meant for?

In the words of the Clash ‘Should he stay or should he go now’:unsure:

And if Rishi resigns, which I could easily see him doing, will BJ have to/be forced to resign as well?

For me the party nonsense just highlights the hypocrisy of our politicians, and the juvenile nature of our opposition and media, which we are all well aware of anyway. I couldn't give a stuff if Boris or anyone else attended a party breaking restrictions. What people should be concerned about is the fact there were restrictions in the first place, the loss of our liberty and the authoritarian measures placed on us, those are the unforgivable issues IMO, not fucking parties and cakes FFS!

I have to say that I am sick of hearing about 'Partygate'. Who really gives a flying fuck whether Boris had a few beers at No.10 during Covid. Christ I'm sure a hell of a lot of the folk baying for his blood did too. There are far more important things going on in the world that are current and nothing to do with a few drinkypoos nearly donkeys ages ago. Let's be honest the whole of the houses of Parliament, Holyrood and the Welsh assembly are a bunch of useless wankers and, sadly, Boris is probably about the best that is on offer to try and keep the shit show on the road.

"Hey @MartytheMartian " I hear your mate wee Krankie has said she will resign if she fails in indy ref 2, as for Boris partygate is the only thing the others can grasp at as they have no mandate themselves to help this country, and that arsewipe black from the SNP is always giving his views in an english parliament I wish someone would walk across the floor and smack the bastid

I look at Partygate this way. No one in the Country believes Johnson anyway. He was holed up with the same people for the duration so what actual harm was done? None. It's all optics and most know it. A hypocritical politician? Wowser! Who's a thunk it?

Why is Starmer flogging this and no one calling for his head or Sturgeo's or Drakeford' (all equally guilty)? Brexit. This is their last chance to dethrone Johnson and reverse Brexit before the concrete hardens. They hope to get a Remainer at the helm like Hunt.

They hope to be aided in that by Remainer Tories and a genuinely principled few like Baker and Harper who have had enough of Johnson's shenanigans and Green wokery. I very much doubt it will work.

They key thing is 'knowingly' misleading Parliament. The apology already says 'I got it wrong' but there's a 101 excuses about saying why taking time out with the home team during working time and premises didn't amount to a 'party' in anyone's mind. Hell, it was team building! That's probably what the investigating committee with a Tory bias will conclude.
