Arrogance over parties a gift to anti-Boris BBC
I completely agree with your comment in last week’s Mail on Sunday about the BBC thinking ‘Partygate’ is bigger than
Omicron. It was incredibly stupid and arrogant of the Government to hold Christmas parties, but I do wonder whether the people who are protesting the loudest also had festive parties.
This was typical of BBC bias and anti-Boris propaganda. It is time for the BBC to be abolished and a new national broadcaster created.

Boris Johnson criticises the BBC over its partisan coverage of the so-called ‘Partygate’ row, as reported last week. However, I would rather take them to task for helping to create the climate of fear over Covid, which has led the public to support the draconian restrictions on personal freedoms we’ve been made to endure.

It may be a popular Tory obsession to have a go at the BBC, but in this case it was ITV that first broadcast the notorious No10 video followed by just about every media outlet in the country. I personally thought the BBC was quite restrained in its coverage.

In Peter Hitchens’s excellent column last week about being
angry that we couldn’t enjoy a Christmas party as well as the Government, he could have added that following Covid regulations played a part in two of the most horrific crimes of recent months in the terrible cases of Sarah Everard and ten-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.

I actually agree with Boris Johnson. This endless Christmas party obsession coupled with who paid for wallpaper and holidays is frivolous nonsense. There are a hundred more important issues to deal with.

There must be a real problem with Boris Johnson as even Dan Hodges has forgone his one-man mission to bring down the Labour
Party by dedicating his column to criticising Boris for ‘telling lies’.

This witch-hunt by the media and the BBC has to stop now. All who wish the downfall of our Government are playing dangerous games with the wellbeing of our country. No one will ever get through this pandemic unless these bitter attacks stop.

If the Prime Minister is going to survive his current situation, he needs to reinforce his Cabinet with strong characters. Remember the saying: ‘True leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.’
