“Let’s move on please, there are more important things to deal with.” This is what we often hear in relation to ‘partygate’. I don’t think sceptics are in such a hurry. We all want to move on in life but that is not easily achieved when we have been misinformed, taken for a ride and then taken to the cleaners.
The sceptics aren’t just Daily Sceptic readers but a growing number of the public who are seeing that much of the media have not delivered a full, honest account in reporting the last two years of pandemic restrictions and enforced medical interventions. What I find interesting is that, in much of the media’s eagerness to see the downfall of Boris Johnson, everyone is getting to see a little more of the ‘bigger picture’ the media have, up until now, been trying to hide. How could those enforcing all those ridiculous mandates be indulging in so many parties and social mixing if Covid was such a deadly disease? Why were so many coerced into a trial vaccination programme for a disease that evidently poses so little threat to them?
How we have been deceived! Yet much of the media focus on the minor detail of whether a particular event was a party, what certain photos show, whether Boris Johnson actually knew he was attending a party, whether he should have received more fines etc. They want to know if there is enough evidence to show that the PM misled Parliament because convention dictates that, if that were the case, he should resign – the big news story. The news story for me is whether the Government misled the public, not Parliament.
The scandal that lies before us is one demonstrating how those in power, who determined the rules and directed the hardships of the last two years, are more concerned about themselves and whether they have misled their colleagues than us plebs. The deception has severely affected many of us, the younger generation in particular. There are now increased hospital waiting lists, deaths from delayed cancer diagnosis and treatment and rampant economic inflation – true wrongs that deserve more than a token fine. It is this mendacity and betrayal that have consequences and will continue, possibly for decades, to have grave ramifications from which some may never be able to ‘move on’.

Johnson looked a shambolic evasive mess in his presser. Whole thing stinks. And the fish rots from the head.
On behalf of the public, the Public Inquiry should ask if the public were misled.
No chance of the Public Whitewash asking that in public.
Boris Johnson is a disgrace but there are very few obvious replacements on either side. These lying b**tards are injecting our children with god knows what and they need to pay.
The old, but there’s nothing better on offer so we’d better stick with the fat tub of lard.
I would imagine all those who lost their lives for the freedom of this country are spinning in their graves at the yellow streak to be found on so many British spines.
We are all quite stuck on idea that we need to carry the majority with us.
Sadly, our rulers control a massive propaganda machine that will almost certainly ensure we can never succeed in helping the majority to realise their true circumstances. (Nudge units are only one part of it, but, alone, are a material obstacle to consensus-building by anyone dissenting from the orthodoxy.)
However, we do not need to be a majority. We need only constitute a viable number. As it is conceivable for the people of Scotland, or of Wales, to secede from the UK, why not those who value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, above love of Big Brother, a false sense of security, and having any potentially difficult choice made for them?
The non-adherents, unlike the Scots or Welsh, do not occupy a convenient sector of Airstrip One, but this is a distinction of purely practical effect, not one of principle.
At the moment, the normies would be reasonably happy to have a bunch of “conspiracy theorists”, “antivaxxers”, or whatever label they apply to prove to themselves that their take on reality is the correct one, breakaway. However, delaying making the move risks the masses being too effectively indoctrinated into treating dissenters as terrorists.
Johnson is a disgrace? Not just Johnson, the WHOLE Establishment is a disgrace, and, IMO, we need to replace the whole lot as SOON as possible. We need a new system. A system that does not reward incompetent politicians and civil servants. The government needs to have much, much less control over our lives.
We need government by referendum like Switzerland
‘The news story for me is whether the Government misled the public, not Parliament.’
Are you naive or just too nice? Of course the government effin well mislead the public.
There should be a list of all attendees, particularly those who were ‘voted’ in to office.
The minimum that should happen is every attendee of every ‘get together’ should lose their job, personally I’d prefer to see them all in court.
Never forgive, never forget.
Just to clarify Catee, I am not unsure that the Government misled the public. Indeed, in my article I write ‘How we were deceived!’ In the two years that I have been contributing articles for dailysceptic.org I have stressed that there was a huge overreaction to Covid and the public were (and continue to be) misled. I could have rewritten that sentence to make it more clear.
My daughter lost seven months of placement as a trainee midwife, because of lockdowns, which then had to be made up, along with all the academic work. She was recently hospitalised and now has a severe condition brought on by the stress of trying to complete a degree under such conditions. This is just one story of millions and millions of people who must be suffering untold damage from the illegal lockdowns of a reprehensible regime.
One girl I used to work with is now agoraphobic and one of my cousins is too. They were happy people before this lot lied to them. What SAGE and SPI-B did was akin to cult programming and there’s no one on offer to do cult deprogramming. I’m so sorry about your daughter.
Thank you.
It’s right to be angry at all the deleterious effects on lockdowns, which have caused lasting damage. I am angry about it all too, and most of us are paying the price.
However, I’m afraid I can’t get worked up about the hypocrisy thing. What was going on in No10 was people behaving normally behind closed doors. It was the imposition of lockdown (and the army of self-appointed enforcers that it bred) that was wrong, not people behaving normally.
Just because something is the law doesn’t make it lawful. It was the law that churches, for example, had to close, and police burst in and disrupted meetings. Then on judicial review it was ruled that it was unlawful to have closed the churches. So, there was an unlawful law in place.
Silly little lockdown rules imposed under secondary legislation don’t trump fundamental freedoms. No one should have paid any FPNs but gone to court and won the case, and then had them all quashed.
The police and the BBC etc are wrong on this. The police weren’t even given the powers to investigate alleged breaches in the workplace – that fell to the HSE. So this whole police investigation was utter nonsense from the start.
Remember the report about Burnley College? The HSE spent a year investigating supposed failures in protecting students, and it was linked to the death of a student adviser? That was the HSE steamroller in action. It stinks.
“What was going on in No10 was people behaving normally behind closed doors. It was the imposition of lockdown (and the army of self-appointed enforcers that it bred) that was wrong, not people behaving normally.”
It was these ‘people’ ‘behaving normally’ behind ‘closed doors’ who were the people who implemented lockdowns and the fines for ‘not obeying orders’!
They laugh in your face (and still do) as you lose your business, life, freedom – and that’s OK?
“Silly little lockdown rules imposed under secondary legislation don’t trump fundamental freedoms.”
Ask that couple who run the card shop in Droitwich Spa, and the woman who was running the cinema in Swansea whether the ‘silly little rules’ affected them or not.
“A Droitwich card shop which refused to close during the national Covid lockdown received a £44,000 fine”
“Anna Redfern, of Cinema & Co, was fined £15000 over Covid breaches”
“the hypocrisy thing”
But that is important. Not only were the rules wrong, but our rulers knew them to be. Thus, we can set Hanlon’s razor aside; it was malicious.
I beg to differ; I think that’s the nub of the issue – moral relativism. Their conduct suggests government basically lied to the public over the seriousness of the so-called pandemic. Any knowing acceptance of this deception by the public, almost in a state of awe (revelation of the method), will surely inspire more deception and consequently, further demoralisation of the public and legitimisation of the abuse of power.
You are right re the use of FPNs. I think that the Prosecution Service (CPS) has not taken the risk of going to court in most cases, if any, so it’s those who paid who have lost. They would have done better to rip them up, or just refuse them and let the other side take the risk of attempting to prosecute.
It maybe that the organisations you mention have lost the plot, with their reputation being diminished by the whole affair. An unintended aftermath, but it will take a while for them to recover.
Interestingly, in one of the later lockdowns, the government stated that Churches could remain open. It was the ecclesiastical authorities that decided to close them; not the regime!
Depends what you mean by “the regime”.
The grim reality is that they’re all in it together (possibly just almost all). Different puppets will play different parts, at different times.
HMQ, Justin Welby, and a whole line up of showbiz people all telling us to have the experimental gene therapy. This doesn’t happen by accident.
The anxiety and misery caused by these appalling lockdowns can never be fully understood by the historians who will write about these insane years.
A crime was committed against your daughter. There was a great deal of knowledge about how best to respond to any form of epidemic by March 2020, and none of it supported what happened.
I hope that she recovers her health, and that we find a way to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
Look at the obese PM holding a sugary drink behind a table of processed “system” food, housed in refined crude oil. Didn’t he check in at St Thomas’s Hospital across the bridge during the first and second lockdown. Then was having PR photoshoots outdoors jogging with a personal fitness instructor.
Imagine taking health advice from him…?
I honestly believe the whole incident of boris in intensive care was a propaganda exercise. If you saw a close colleague admitted to intensive care due to covid. would you not keep away from others/gatherings?
You’re probably right. However, I remember that someone at that hospital allegedly reported his body mass index; not nice (the value of it, not the fact of releasing it, although it was wrong in principle). No surprise that he was vulnerable to all sorts of things.
But unfortunately a LOT of people were FORCED to take “health advice” from him, when he imposed through fear and the threat of mandate that millions of people in this country take not just one but a whole series of injections of a medical treatment which was a) novel so they were part of a giant experiment and b) licensed under EUA (but his behaviour demonstrates the “emergency” it was licensed under wasn’t real at all), and a lot of those people are already known to be dead or to have suffered vax injuries, and for the remainder we have no idea what is going to happen for their health outcomes in the years ahead.
ALL of that happened on the say so, and under the ultimate authority of, someone who LIED to the country about the gravity of the situation that they faced and employed a whole team of people to think up ways to terrify the country, many of whom are still terrified, to do their bidding. In the main, people did obey the edicts – he and his team of civil servants and ministers did not.
The lie is in the fact that he told people covid was deadly – a granny killer – when his own behaviour and that of the people who worked closely with him showed it wasn’t, otherwise they would have limited their contact, social distanced etc. They certainly wouldn’t have been trying to “get away with” a BYOB garden party which lasted until 4.30am and was so raucous people were sick and a child’s swing got broken.
And we keep being told we need to “draw a line under this and move on”. If you do that it gives them carte blanche to do similar again.
Note that recurring phrase “get away with” – used by Neil Ferguson (would we get away with locking down the whole of the UK?) and then by one of Johnson’s inner circle.
What do they next plan to “get away with”?
Have been deceived?
We have always been deceived to an extent by the MSM re politics and wars, but, to my mind at least, no real harm done (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine apart) – I didn’t get a sense of there being evil being abroad.
However, the last 2.5 years have seen the biggest and most evil deception there has ever been, and it continues apace.
The MSM, especially the BBC and the bloody Guardian became and worryingly still are, nothing but propaganda outfits for the RPTB. Davros/Blair/Schwab.
Bigpharma is enjoying its hour in the sun – its tentacles are everywhere, and I’ve known this for over25 years. Read Robert. F. Kennedy’s book!
We still encourage kids to be jabbed. Hitler Youth at its finest.
Partygate is just a mini diversion from reality, but sadly too many sheep just swallow it.
Yes. Make people sick and then give them the cure, even though the cure is likely to make them sicker and ever more dependant on their drugs…a vicious circle – probably the starting point of which is childhood vaccines.
All of the people in that room, by virtue of their position at the heart of government, knew that the virus was not the deadly threat it had been painted to be.
And yet – those same people cancelled the eminent Great Barrington scientists and other world-renowned experts in epidemiology like John Ioannidis, vilified anyone who disagreed with the lockdown narrative (including the owners and contributors to this website), and instead went with the advice of “modellers” with a lengthy track record of failure and wealthy “philanthropists” and Big Pharma lobbyists who stood to gain from lockdown, PPE purchases and vaccines.
Cowards and charlatans the lot of them.
We don’t just need a new Prime Minister. When are the elections for a new Establishment?
Very well said. The whole system is rotten to the core.
Be careful what you wish for. That kind of thinking can lead to a cry for a Great Reset.
Oh we need one. But it needs to come from the bottom up, not the top down. And it will come, believe me.
I think the only thing coming is big electricity bills. Had a letter today informing ours was going up by 19%. Well, somebody has to pay for those electricity-generating windmills Made in China (and India)!
Best get yourselves off to the charity shops to see if you can find any warm-looking woolly sweaters and hot water bottles!

And Labour apart from a very few MPs voted for the restrictions which might not otherwise have passed
Anybody remember the video of a women trying to get into a nursing home to physically see her very elderly mother (who looked very ill yet the nursing home denied it) or the son at his fathers funeral being told off for comforting his mother? Remember people being find for sitting on a park bench because plod was abusing their powers. The bullying and coercion into following draconian laws and regulations?
I haven’t forgotten and neither will I forget.
Neither will I. And I shall never forget our wretched rector reporting, without a trace of indignation, that one of his congregation had been forcibly separated from her dying husband of forty years, and expelled from the hospital where he lay. It was necessary, according to the rector, to keep everybody else saaaaafe.
I hate him, and the beastly hospital, and the whole beastly sadistic lying coviddy crew.
I shall ever forget, never. I will testify against them on the last day.
Me neither not as long as I live
Some of you may have seen this:
In a legal defence, Pfizer has admitted that their vax was a rushed “demonstration”, describing their own COVID vaccine trial as an “exigency-driven prototype manufacturing demonstration not subject to good clinical practices and related FDA regulations.”
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-coffee-and-covid-wednesday-may-25
Given the size of the ruling party’s majority, the entire Government could feasibly be replaced by other members of the Tory Party currently on the backbenches.
For me, what the pictures demonstrate is not so much ‘illegal’ parties, but the fact that the Government clearly didn’t consider the virus situation to be anything like as bad as they were telling the people of the country: people who were being fined for trying to keep businesses going, harassed by the armed, masked militia that used to be the Police, who were encouraged to spy on neighbours, whose fun smartphone gadgets were turned into portable surveillance and tracking devices, who were unable to comfort loved ones as they lay dying. And those of us who argued back against the Government were called ‘selfish,’ ‘granny killers’ and conspiracy theorists. When racist, Marxist terrorists tore up London streets, police bent the knee. When freedom protestors stood tall, they were viciously assaulted by the police.
For the act of heinous fraud of lying about the dangers of COVID-19, demonstrated by the photographs, everyone in No 10 belongs in jail. Watching the freak Whitty, the embarrassed-looking Patrick Vallance, smirking Hancock and moronic Johnson and seeing stories of police harassment, the endless threats to liberty based in fake ‘science’, for the first time I got my first real sense of actual global ‘Evil’ in the Biblical sense. I spit in the face of the state.
Well done. Terrific post.
Agreed.
Yes, lockdown was entirely for show and yet there are those who refuse to see it.
This advert from the govt was a deliberate lie. Proof? PartyGate. None of those there were scared of spreading the ‘virus’ or causing people to die.
It’s this disgraceful fear-mongering propaganda that is the crime, not ’parties’. It is for this crime that the PM should resign.
I think we’re being too generous suggesting the government are still vaccinating, no one on Earth has been vaccinated! What they received was an experimental gene transfer technology which even the pharmaceutical manufacturers said wouldn’t stop covid infection etc, etc. What is it about the above statement, made many times, that the public can’t understand?
Talking of being ‘stuck’ with things, I found this comment somewhat amusing:
“I believe that most, if not all, SITP groups have been infiltrated. Flat earthers, man-on-moon deniers, chem-trail promoters, whatever their bona fides, seem to be common distractions in some groups and takes away the struggle for freedom that was at the heart of the movement.”
Just how do you get rid of the nutters who are attracted to this sort of thing, and manage to retain an air of respectability?!!
Has Dr Shaw only just been alerted to the fact that there was a massive over reaction to a coronavirus? And it’s the revelation that government officials were all mixing and partying against their own rules?
The general lack of mortality and serious illness didn’t make him suspicious?
I never cease yo be amazed at how naive people are, especially the well educated.
Those in government and in power are not generally good people doing the best for us. The state bureaucracy is not on our side. Government is not on our side.
When are people going to f**king get it.
https://ourdecisiontoo.com/Issue/there-s-nothing-left-to-do-but-go-our-separate-ways/320/
I accept full and total responsibility. I am guilty as charged. I have no defence or excuse to offer. I admit to deceiving Parliament and the country. I lied through my teeth, again and again. I am a hypocrite of the first order. I ignored my own rules and laughed in the face of the public as I watched them being ground down by the unjust and unnecessary laws I had been instrumental in making. I am a total disgrace, unfit for the office I hold and probably the worst Prime Minister this country has ever seen. I am lazy, incompetent and positively dangerous for democracy and the wellbeing of everyone in the country. The longer I sit in number 10 dispensing failure and misery, the worse this mess that I created will become.
Right, now we have got that out of the way, it really is time for us to forget the past, move on, look to the future and set about tackling the great challenges that face us. We are all in it together, don’t you know. So, as your esteemed leader, here are my wonderful plans for our next bold steps forward…
totally nails it.
Please do try to understand, the utter contempt which the ruling classes, establishment and their political lapdogs retain for the proles. Get that, get real.
Everyone should by now see what a scam this plandemic was and how it wasn’t a threat. BUT you can bet your house on the majority of the sheep to obey the next lockdown and face nappies.
Where I live unfortunately they still are.
Fortunately partygate might have woken my parents up but it is too late – the damage to them has been done.
They say now they won’t have any more jabs but the proof will be in the pudding.
126 fines, 83 people partying on 8 different dates.
Why are those pictured censored? Who are the rest of them?
The MET investigation cost £480,000
How much is the “inquiry” going to cost on top of that?
Seems to me they should be forced to pay for the lot of it out of their own pockets, they can all afford less than 4 grand a pop.
Blurred out images from left to right.
Fishy Rishi in a gimp suit, Hancock sucking Rishi off, Prince Andrew getting sweaty with a girl that looks suspiciously under age.
I don’t think this is over. MP’s will be getting inundated with complaints from constituents. Graham Brady is still in possession of an undisclosed number of letters from MP’s.
When did that ever matter? We are held in contempt, remember. My MP deigned to reply to my query about whether he found BJ’s misleading Parliament acceptable as long as he delivered election wins. He more or less said he would decide in his own time and ‘wouldn’t be harried over it’. In other words, belt-up, woman and stop bothering me.
You’d think they’d mind about the old votes wouldn’t they? it is people like you who decide whether or not he remains in employment after all.
If Government and the media instructed us all to drive off a cliff for the public good, after lockdown I suspect that quite a number of people would do it. Lets not lose sight of the big picture. We have had our lives wretched for two years because our leaders did not know what they were doing.They still don’t.
The zombies didn’t and don’t do anything for the public good:They do it for their own good. They wouldn’t drive themselves off a cliff, but they’d be very eager to drive you off one.
“We have had our lives wretched for two years because our leaders did not know what they were doing”
I disagree.
They knew precisely what they were doing and it is hard to see it as anything other than deliberate, following the orders given to them to act in lockstep with everyone else also given their orders, the Arderns, the Macrons, the Trudeaus et al.
That is what has made our lives wretched this last 2 years and more.
Am I the only person who can’t bare to see that picture. It seems to me that they are laughing at us.
just look how concerned Johnson looks over this super serious virus,
“isn’t that right boris?”
“cheers, I mean yes”.
Hooray but will we ever hear that on the BBC, C4, ITV, GB News etc etc? This wasn’t the message I received a week or two ago when I chanced upon a discussion on the latter between Wootton and O’Neill where I came away with the impression that beergate (on that occasion, but same point) was de minimis (and historic) and should not distract from more important current issues…
Not forgetting:

(The language of the page has gone through several revisions at least since March 2020).
The whole COVID-19 narrative is unravelling but government will simply keep stonewalling for so long as it is allowed to. Presumably same attitude can be expected to prevail with regard to food shortages if they occur.

More licenced sadism…
Almost alone amongst the MSM, Julia Hartley-Brewer is forcefully making this point: for 2 years (and counting) Johnson and his Government systematically LIED to the British people about the risk Covid posed.
Here are a couple of examples of the Covid madness still infecting people, both instances occured in conversations I had this week.
Brainwashed .
The question I want answered is “why wasn’t Boris and his cabinet/inner circle scared of Covid bearing in mind they created the fear with their televised press announcements that we should all be scared to death of covid and should follow their new rules for the “safety of all”? Perhaps the answer is they were creating the propaganda so knew it was all false?
Excellent question marlowejames. That’s the big one for which the mother of all enquiries should have been instigated.
BoJo is now hiding behind ‘Ukraine’

Your alternative update on #COVID19 for 2022-05-25. ONS 69k died w/i 28 days of jab, 178k w/i 60. No-lockdown Sweden. WEF enjoy privacy, none 4 public (blog, gab, tweet).
I haven’t yet seen the view that the reason so many gatherings took place was that those concerned knew what we knew – that the locknowns, restrictions,stupid phrases etc were all unnecessary and useless and were causing more damage than the virus and therefore they did the logical thing and lived as normal.
This advert from the govt was a deliberate lie. Proof? PartyGate. None of those there were scared of spreading the ‘virus’ or causing people to die.
It’s this disgraceful fear-mongering propaganda that is the crime, not ’parties’. It is for this crime that the PM should resign.
Succinct and to the point.
