7 times the Met came to Boris Johnson’s rescue
Wasn't this the purpose of having political appointed police commissioner?

The police, not just the Met, have shown themselves to be corrupt and unstrustworthy,
and politically compromised. They're acting on behalf of the Conservative establishment, they're not even trying to hide it.
28 minutes after Lord Geidt announced he expected Johnson to justify his lack of resignation, the police announced they'd sent Starmer and Rayner questionaries over "Beergate."
There needs to be a reckoning in this country. A purge, if you will.

Yet they manage to be shit to rape victims, the poor and anyone not white.
Definite purge required, clean out the misogynistic canteen culture.

A law making it illegal for all public servants to be members of political parties and secret societies would be a step in the right direction.
I know that sounds tin foil hat.

Learning not to cover up the indefensible might be a start.

How though? Some sort of corruption amnesty? Truth and reconciliation?
There are a number of UK police forces that are probably beyond redemption and which need to be abolished.

Very difficult given the culture, protecting whistleblowers and properly investigating, I suppose.

I was a civil servant until about 2002 (but not in the police)
We were prohibited from being involved in any active political movement, to maintain impartiality. It was in our contract iirc.

White folk get searched a lot less.
White folk rarely get pulled and questioned for having a decent car, etc.
I've had good and bad experiences with the cops, more bad when I think about it.

That was good, but completely missed the single biggest favour they did him.
The investigation took nearly four fucking months. Four fucking months for, worst case scenario, some fixed penalty notices. Inde-fucking-fensible. Took all of the sting out of it completely unnecessarily. How fucking complex an investigation was it exactly? Talk me through it, officer. So stuff happens, Boris gets some mileage out of Ukraine, and the world moves on. This needs to come to a head, and the glacial pace of their nearly half a million quid investigation, has not in any way helped lance the boil.

Never mind, something else horrendous will be in the news before long, then we can all concentrate on that instead and yet again it'll be a bad time to change leaders.

Remember the good old days, when there were entire years with nothing whatsoever happening and ministers could come and go with no inconvenience to anyone?

Hmmm, I just feel the longer this goes on, the more likely he is to survive it.
It’s been going on a long while now, but he keeps swerving it. I have a crazy theory that the only thing he couldn’t survive is if Starmer gets a FPN and resigns. I’m not suggesting that’ll happen, just saying that he couldn’t survive it.

He has to be forced out, I cannot imagine him leaving voluntarily.
What I don't understand is how he has been allowed to take the piss this obviously, for so long.
If Starmer went in response to a fine, De Piffle would just shrug his shoulders and not care much. I don't see evidence of him experiencing shame or embarrassment. His party would have to remove him and like Trump, he's got rid of a lot of internal opposition already.

"Britain Trump" again
Dragged from office kicking and screaming and insisting he's done nothing wrong
and I think this sort of personality is incapable of feeling shame

Thing is that the Tories were warned that this is where it’d end by those who worked with him previously
But they decided to either accept or ignore that warning in the pursuit of election victory.
Now they’re looking at a seriously damaged party and parliamentary system, and their only option to retain support is to double down.

We're well on the way to having a US political system.
Have been for decades. Luckily, I suspect Johnson is much lazier than Trumpf.
