I’m no good at the tracking stuff but who’s this back again?
Back to the point – whether the pandemic response was flawed or not, whether the guidance was correct or not, it was the guidance and he can not have been ignorant of it (and ignorance is not a defence)
The point is he repeatedly told parliament, months after the events, that all the rules and guidance had been followed. His defence, like all these charlatans, is that either it was someone else’s advice or ‘Ah, but those weren’t my exact words, what I meant was’ Weaselling out of what any reasonable thinking person knows to be the truth.
I can’t for the life of me see what other conclusion the SC can reach. When is their judgement / report / whatever? Only contentious issue is what sanction is felt appropriate.
I once again post this
Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies. [He] sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsibility (and surprised at the same time that he was not appointed Captain of the school for the next half).
I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation that binds everyone else.
