Boris Johnson has today published his long-awaited ‘partygate’ defence, ahead of his appearance before the Privileges Committee tomorrow afternoon. James Heale in the Spectator has more.
In the 52-page submission, Johnson accepts that he did mislead the House of Commons when he said that “the rules and guidance had been followed at all times” during Covid. But he insists he made his statements “in good faith” and that he “would never have dreamed” of doing so intentionally. The committee claims that his submission “contains no new documentary evidence”; sources close to Johnson dispute this.
Johnson’s defence broadly relies on three familiar arguments. The first is the absence of any smoking gun which proves that he definitely knew that the rules had been broken. He submits that: “There is not a single document that indicates that I received any warning or advice that any event may have broken rules or guidance.” He adds that the only evidence that he intentionally misled the Commons is from the “discredited Dominic Cummings”, and that Cummings’s assertions are not “supported by any documentation”.
Secondly, he notes the context in which these gatherings were held. Johnson says that the “vast majority of individuals” who have given evidence “have not indicated that they considered their attendance in breach of the law”. He suggests that party attendees would not have “allowed these events to be immortalised by the official photographer” had they believed them to be illegal at the time.
And thirdly, Johnson argues that the committee has gone beyond the scope of its own inquiry by accusing him of breaching guidance. He says that the committee’s scope is and should be limited to the regulations. The committee is also accused of creating “for the first time the entirely novel concept of ‘recklessly’ misleading parliament”, to which Johnson objects.
Partygate was obviously hypocritical, but equally obviously the investigation into it is politically motivated. Besides which, the sceptics’ case has always been that the chief crime was in banning such activities in the first place; the hypocrisy was a minor sin in comparison to the major sin of forcing the country to cease living human lives.

“Roll up roll up! Take no notice of the man behind the mirror, this is all you need to watch, don’t look over there, look over here!”
Meanwhile the world heads towards hell in a handcart,…. all its real problems are pushing the cart!
Less of a flying f I couldn’t give about party sodding gate!!
Yes. Why do columnists continue to address this low-life politician who has wrought such hardship and ruin on people by his Christian name?
I cannot stand to even look at him! He makes me sick! The misery he caused the numerous lies he told should never be forgotten!
Remember his fake near-death Rona experience? The 2 nurses scuttling off to Portugal and NZ after (how convenient).
Then he caught the Rona 2 x more – after being stabbinated….
All theatre.
Now he is raking in the millions from the money laundering-NATO war in the Uketopia. Adding to the millions he made from the Rona fascism.
He is a disingenuous, fat, stupid, corrupt dictator-pig. They all are, bar maybe 20-30 in
Parliament, Pharma-ment.Ditto that. Absolutely rank sack of sh*t, hiding behind his ‘Bozo the clown’ crafted image.
Actually I still dig RW’s ”Boris the Jelly” label, LOL..
I too have no interest in further lies from Bozo. He is responsible for thousands of lives ruined, thousands of “vaccine” related deaths, thousands of businesses ruined, a country becoming overrun with immigration and an imploding economy. Meanwhile he thinks it appropriate to gad about Europe encouraging more slaughter between Russia and Ukraine.
Bozo belongs in the dock with that other treasonous barsteward Bliar.
This news on vaccines – ALL vaccines – has yet to make the MSM….
The article is in French.
“Great news! Officially the Covid19 vaccines have been annulled.
Court case lost! Share!
This is the latest NEWS!!
Although bad news for those of us who are already vaccinated….
After today’s ruling in the American Supreme court it is now no longer needed to be vaccinated as the Universal Vaccination has finally been ABOLISHED!
The US Supreme Court has struck down the Universal Vaccination in a great victory for freedom !
The American infectious disease ‘specialists’ Bill Gates, Antoni Fauci and Big Pharma have lost a case in the US Supreme Court by failing to prove that all their vaccines over the past 32 years were safe for the health of citizens!
The lawsuit was filed by a group of scientists led by Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who declared: The new Covid19 vaccine must be avoided at all costs!!
He urgently drew attention to important issues concerning Covid-19 vaccination.
So for the first time in the history of all vaccination, the so-called next-generation MRNA vaccines have 100% proof that they directly interfere with the patient’s genetic material.
It is now a fact that the individual’s genetic material gets altered after the Covid19 vaccine, i.e. the injected have been genetically manipulated.
*This was already prohibited in the past and was previously considered a crime against humanity and signed into the 1945 Nuremberg Treaty.*
The COVID19 or Sars 2 vaccine is not a traditional vaccine.
What was always a vaccine? It was always the pathogen, the microbe or the virus itself that was weakened, thus rendered harmless, and introduced into the body to produce antibodies.
It is part of the new MRNA (Messenger Ribonucleic Acid) group. Once the MRNA is inside a human cell, it reprograms the cell’s RNA and which reprograms the cell’s normal DNA to start producing another protein. In other words, it is not like traditional vaccines because it is a genetic manipulation tool!
As a result of the unprecedented MRNA vaccination, vaccinated persons will no longer be able to continue treating the vaccine symptoms.
Vaccinated persons will have to accept the consequences because they will no longer be able to be cured by simply removing the toxins from the human body, just like a person with a genetic defect such as Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, heart failure genetics, haemophilia, fibrosis, Rett syndrome, etc, because the genetic defect is eternal!
This clearly means: if a vaccination symptom develops after the MRNA vaccination, no therapist will be able to help, because the damage caused by this type of vaccination will be genetically irreversible.

BRAVO ROBERT KENNEDY JR !!!!
THIS IS SUCH BIG NEWS
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT HAS OVERRULED ALL THE UNIVERSAL VACCINATION
So all the countries of the world, civil organisations and all of us fighting against this DEADLY VACCINE now have REAL science to confirm how harmful this so-called deadly vaccine is.
Just like the vaccines they have been using for the past 33 years where they could not prove their effectiveness.
This now proven DEATH VACCINE violates the GENETIC MANIPULATION PROHIBITION OF THE NUREMBERG TREATY OF 1945, according to which these contained MRNA injections that alter all human DNA causing us not to be human as it is proven we are now TRANSHUMAN”
Many thanks BB. I look forward to DS Editorial running a piece on this.
Totally. And I couldn’t stomach watching any clips of him kissing Zalensky’s arse. Just vomit-inducing.
Holy hell – This is the kind of stuff that makes you seriously reconsider if your £1 a month subscription is really worth it.

Pampered little self important tw*ts!
A month in the great war trenches would have allowed them to bleat so much, if they survived?! What astonishing arrogance!
In the telegraph as well. Shish!
I can’t be bothered working past the paywall but the headlines make this comedy gold. Firkin hell.
Try pressing [esc] while it loads. It doesn’t always work, but often enough.
Thanks.
If only we could do that with politicians, press [esc] when we’ve had enough of them!
Of course the conclusion in the investigation, parliament and the Media should be:
“Partygate proved the that they knew there was Zero Danger from Covid and that millions of lives and businesses were criminally destroyed for nothing.”
But that’s not going to happen.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Wasn’t Johnson supposed to be the man in charge?
Most bosses, when they walk into a room full of staff apparently breaking the rules that he was responsible for, would at the very least ask them what they were doing and tell them that they had an example to set. In fact, the bosses I have known would have told them all to stop in no uncertain terms.
The fact that he had to rely on his staff to tell him whether he was contravening the rules tells us that he had no concept of what he was doing to the country, suggesting that he is not in fact very bright.
Certainly he doesn’t have any of the qualities that a leader should have.
PS Don’t rely on GB News for balanced coverage. It appears to be a
wall-to-wall Boris love-jn.
The Fat Oaf stood at the podium day after day pouring fear-porn down on a population he had stripped of its civil and human rights ….. knowing full well that the virus had low mortality rates and it was only the very elderly and those whose health was already seriously compromised who were at any real risk.
He couldn’t have failed to know that he had made socialising illegal.
I’d like him, and every other member of SAGE and the Government which inflicted the tyranny on us standing before a Nuremberg-style Court to answer for their crimes.
Whether he lied to Parliament or not about a bit of illegal socialising is irrelevant: he systematically lied to the British people for 18 months.
What Johnson is claiming is that he did not know the law as passed by the government he led during the time he led it. His responsibility as PM was to know any laws passed by his government, and I don’t believe he didn’t know the restrictions imposed by those laws that he put in place and breached.
