Why do gutless MPs shillyshally about getting rid?
BORIS Johnson’s explanations of the Downing Street parties (16 at the latest count, held while people were refused permission to visit their dying wives and husbands in hospitals and care homes) have become increasingly incredible.
At first, he said he knew nothing about the parties, and that he shared the public’s fury.
Then he admitted that he did know about the parties, and said he was “sickened”, but he claimed he was not there. Then he admitted that he was at some of the events, but despite photographic evidence claimed to believe that they were not parties.
Then he said that they may have been parties, but no-one told him the rules. (The same rules which he had stood at a podium in Downing Street, and broadcast to the nation to announce, and the police were already fining people for non-compliance.)
No wonder the public are incredulous, and only 6% believe he has told the truth. And that is on top of other deviations from the truth, such as claiming that he had nothing to do with stray dogs being flown out of Afghanistan while Afghans who had helped the British Army were left behind to be executed by the Taliban.
Emails have now emerged showing that he gave instructions for that despite his denials.
This is now compounded by the egregious smearing of the Leader of the Opposition in a schoolboy outburst while under pressure at PMQs. There is really nothing he can say now that any intelligent person can believe, so why are gutless Conservative MPs still shilly-shallying about removing him?
