Partygate

There are certain papers that said, I mean, they actually put it on the front page today.

They said, don't they know there's a war on? Move on from this party gate nonsense.

The public aren't interested in it.

And the public said, oh, yes, we are.

However, the same cannot be said for Khaldun Al Mubarak.

His bizarre Saturday morning statement read and sounded less like the pronouncement of a major CEO and more akin to the sort of nonsense that Boris Johnson would routinely spout during the Partygate scandal.

And we all know how that ended for him.

But in a sense, the issues around sanctions, financial penalties, counter suits rather misses the point.

And the fact that it gets away with seeming like a sort of focus group for Britain, it's really not.

I mean, I remember like during Partygate and stuff like that, it's fair to say that the nation was broadly very angry.

But what annoys me is there's only really one right of centre politician voice on that show.

It used to be Stefan Dom, who I think were a bit on the UKIP-y side.

She had kids.

The sacrifices that people made in those care homes, And then obviously when Partygate came out,

that was just

another kick in the teeth.

It doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

It was just another kick in the teeth.

bad.

I think what really brought Boris Johnson down was Partygate primarily.

But what's really funny about it is that Partygate was such a fake scandal where it's like, what you're basically saying is the people who were working round the clock to manage the pandemic had a drink afterwards when they spent all day together anyway.

So it wasn't like, they weren't actually spreading the disease or like...

it was like sort of a confected like it was entirely optic scandal but it wasn't the materially there was nothing morally wrong actually happening i
