Boris smirked while Britain cried.
Most of us didn’t cry. Most of us has parties and knew lockdown was a sham.
@@jobbyomoron8478 My friends father passed away because of Covid, someone who I knew from my childhood a uncle of a childhood friend passed away and I couldn't go to their funeral because I and millions of Brits followed the rules.
You can make what you want of that.
@@jobbyomoron8478 You are so wrong. This did not happen.
@@jobbyomoron8478 That is the most preposterous, braindead comment I’ve seen on here for a very long time. The vast majority of us followed the rules. O”Moron - what a very apt name for an imbecile.
Tim Anderson. There should be large bill boards all over the country with these words. It says it all.
Even the worst of people have their up-sides. For example, not one member of BJ's cabinet will EVER suffer from backache, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spondylosis or any other ailment or disorder of the spine.
For any person to suffer any such disorder, disease or ailment, one actually has to have a spine.
so true!!!
I’m sure jellyfish have their own woes.
They've sold themselves for self gain! They are despicable!
@@Nemonurwingy ..and these are proving to be a pretty toxic bunch of jellyfish, but still not totally transparent.
Rod b excellent comment toraly agree 👍
"I apologize for the impression" and let's just stop there. He won't apologize for what he's done, just for how it looks.
The boys and girls W H O cried WOLF 322 ☠️ BBC 💥
Apologise for what?? A party? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jobbyomoron8478 Yup, he should apologise for the current state of The Tory Party and the low bar of standards he's brought them to, and then resign.
@@jobbyomoron8478 no ..for lying... he lies all the time and he despises the poor little peasants like yourself who fall for his act.
@@jobbyomoron8478 Name fits.
BJ just said I take full responsibility and now consider the matter closed. If you take full responsibility you should resign. We are being played. For all those saying there are bigger things to worry about lets move on. I agree there are bigger things to worry about but we need someone with integrity, honesty, untainted and with humility to guide us through these difficult.....we will not find it with the current PM.
I also find it still and counter productive you cannot call someone that can be demonstrably proven as one, a liar in the houses of parliament it is archaic.
Also the speaker of house needs to get a grip how can he do nothing about some of Boris Johnson actions here's just one unacceptable thing he said today which him and the Tory MPs thought this comment was funny calling Jeremy Corbyn Vladimir Corbyn how can a prime minister say that when we have despicable war in Ukraine
Barry Wies
He said it for the simple reason ppl like u wud move off the partygate mess That’s the way he plays the game Keep the ppl moving along even with more despicable tactics As long as the crowd keeps moving it’s fine
@@mikeymc3094 why do they even think people would stop going on about I work on a burial team I witnessed first hand the first funeral there was only two family members there and they weren't aloud close to graveside.whats disgusting is how the prime minister can enjoy a drink or party then have the cheek to apologise for the parties it's not acceptable he needs to stand up take full responsibility and resign
He is called effing BORIS FFS.
@@VeggieBackGardenExcept his mates call him Alex. Alexander is his first name and Boris is his second name which he uses like a stage name..
Obviously you aren’t aware this”despicable” war, is planned
The original lies were bad enough. But what gets me most upset is that BJ denies all the lies and sends his ministers out to support these falsehoods making them all equally complicit in the illegal acts after the event. If BJ IS ALLOWED to get away with this continual series of lies, there is NO HOPE for the future. Any/all subsequent ministers and Prime Ministers will have carte Blanche to lie whenever they choose and have the defence that “Well Boris got away with it,so how is my lie any worse!”
There are over 100 rooms in Number 10 Downing Street, so is Boris supposed to be running from room to room checking for "parties".
Well, BJ has gotten away with it once again, so accept your conclusion: there is NO HOPE for the future, as you've written above.
This is probably why on the global stage other countries are turning their backs on us because they can see right through this government.
@@dragonfly6908 he is the boss and set the standard so if he hadn't let thing get so bad, so yeah it was up to him.
@@dragonfly6908 BJ didn’t need to run, he simply walked into each one of the parties, lead there no doubt by the noise and smell of wine on the carpet etc!
It would seem that security and cleaning staff at 10 Downing Street had more integrity than our PM. But of course they were derided and insulted by the BIG toffs. THIS IS A DISGRACE!
Wouldn't really expect anything else from a bunch of over privileged goons.
@@MrDiddyDee They are "high class" YOBS. Quite disgusting people.
The Panorama doc was more about Kuensberg than anything else. The segway to Starmer almost erased the behaviour of Johnson et al. Forgive me but I think James is being too kind to LK. It is more about bias and not access. Whatever happened to the buck stops with the guy at the top?? Hiding behind junior staff members and selling them down the river. So much for loyalty
I couldn't watch that. It was such a blatant brain washing exercise. My wife and I tried to stick to in an effort of impartiality, but we couldn't. It was just too much.
Another nail in the coffin for the BBC. If they are not even going to pretend to do investigative journalism then I don’t think I can be bother to defend than against the right wing nutters that want them closed down.
@@perro0076 Who was doing the brain washing?
It wasn’t so much the funeral by zoom of my mother that upsets me, but the fact that in her final few months, she will have thought that her family had deserted her.
Don't beat yourself up, you did your best.
Boris Johnson's mother died in September 2021 so he would have had to abide by Covid rules regarding hospital visits and the funeral.
I know how you feel. My Mum died during Covid and wasn't allowed visitors; her funeral had to be limited and no social event afterwards. Meanwhile Johnson and co were partying. Appalling. My Mum was a keen Tory supporter who used to raise money for this bunch of lying crooks...
@@dragonfly6908 yet he still did what he did?
@@dragonfly6908 you're not suggesting that proven liar, that arrogant slug, obeyed the rules
Is this prime minister the most disgraceful person to ever hold the office
2nd after war criminal blair
@@Stantheman848 not in the same league as Johnson. I didn’t vote labour during the late 90s, early 2000s and I agree, he followed bush’s lead egregiously, but also the country never did better in that period. In Johnson’s reign, pretty much everything coming out of his mouth has been a lie, the country has gone so far down the drain it’s circling the u-bend and he’s created the most far right cabinet in my 48 years, while practicing the most base form of culture-war politics wrapped up in populist rhetoric. No, for me, he’s the worst.
In the modern era, undoubtedly. He is the most underqualified, least capable, least trustworthy, most egotistical, most narcissistic PM I can recall.
@@tonywilson8681 I agree with all that and he no doubt would have joined in the war crimes of Bush et al had he been pm in 2001.
I think you would have to go back to Lord North to find his equal.
We are nothing but cattle to these callous cowards
....nice alliteration but it doesn't add anything of substance to this debate.....
@@chatham43 not interested in debate i want them dead.
Well done james, and great to hear that reporter asking the real questions that other reporters are avoiding
The other reporters are Tory sympathysers no ethics
I apologise for the impression... Not much of an apology then. He doesn't get it at all, does he?
It’s sickening to think that while I was unable to visit my elderly mother in her care home, her suffering the unimaginable confusion of dementia without her loved ones able to visit her and allow her some semblance of normality for just an hour or two a week. All this time….while the majority of people respected and followed the rules of lockdown….our government….our prime minister and his cronies were enjoying “wine Fridays” every week…sat around in rooms with 30 people or more having a jolly…not practicing any social distance practices? …..makes me sick to my stomach.
How can we allow this buffoon of a man and his pathetic cabinet to continue? How?
Having been a longterm carer for a parent with dementia, this whole Tory party disgusts me. It did longterm damage to my own health. I hope you're able to take care or someone is supportive by your side to look to your needs.
Well you mugs that voted for the buffoon have only got yourselves to blame
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Wishful thinking.
@film fan whats the alternate?
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines I do hope so but I'm not counting on the UK to make a sensible decision.
James can you answer this question for me because I'm starting to get confused on politics do we live in a dictatorship cause the prime minister acts like a dictator he does and says what he wants and he takes us British public as brain dead fools it's astonishing that he is still in power
It's (and has been) an oligarchy with a democratic facade. Not quite a dictatorship.
It's a plutokratic kleptocracy with a tinge of Capatilism garnished with socialism when it suits them.
@@haraldschuster3067 Closer than the UK has got to in history.
The ''brain dead fools'' still plenty of these about who still support the clown, I personally know several of these. Daily Mail readers, as long as he got Brexit done he's a hero to them, nothing will change their opinions on the clown
Technically the UK is an Ochlocracy not a Democracy. This allows a minority Party to take 100% of power with just 27% of the vote! The Americans call it a Mobocracy which is the truth! Only one other country in the west uses the same system - and that is Belarus.
Johnson just does not care. he has not an inch of empathy. to him, this is an inconvenience. he believes he was destined for this job and will have to be dragged out kicking and screaming.
Plenty of us don’t care
He’s deffo the British Donald J Trump That’s for sure
@@mikeymc3094 Johnson was clearly taking notes on how Trump operates: make things up, lie, line your own pockets, subvert democratic processes, stall investigations, deny, deny, deny, admit no direct blame, scapegoat those around you, refuse to go.
@@jobbyomoron8478 he got bwexit dun ... didnt he?
@@jobbyomoron8478 well you should
A wonderful analysis with very appropriate righteous fury. Well done James.
Crime Minister, Ebenezer Re-Smog, and Pretty Hateful are the best the Tories have

This is to horrific to just go away like the Tory’s want , I missed 3months of spending time with my mum b4 she past because we followed the rules bj read out night after night at one time , and he’s trying to say he didn’t know he broke rules , he don’t know what he’s reading …we are all angry because they trying to justify the self’s with lies …we deserve BETTER
....the lockdown rules were ridiculous and boris knew it...
@@chatham43 why do people STILL continue to believe they are on first name terms with de Pfeffel Johnson? Referring to him as 'Boris'! Like some cuddly affable uncle!? Same with Sunak!
More fool you for following guidelines. The key word being guidelines. Can't be blaming anyone else for your own sheepness following.
He lied to Parliament because regardless of whether he thought that they were work events, guidelines said that people needed to socially distance (at work too) and he attended these gatherings & photographed where the attendees werent socially distanced (let alone sitting on each others laps). He said all rules & guidelines were followed at all times. He saw that guidelines werent being followed Therefore he lied to parliament.
The Tories have no integrity at all Doris has taken them into the gutter with him !
How can anyone still back Johnson,
Or Saint IKEA "Captain Hindsight" Starmer.
Because most of the English electorate voted for him and his Party (and, in my opinion, deserve him.)
We Scots, on the other hand, detest the Tories but have had them foisted upon us for decades. Roll on Independence.☺️☺️
@@jas2819 independence 😂 your arses fell out when u had the chance . Your ancestors sold your future . Cowards .
And of course Nicola Sturgeon is just as bad, along with “Blackfart” !!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@nitram157 wow.... you appear to have unresolved issues. 😲😲
My stance on this hasn't changed, this government has to go! I would like to know about everyone who had a fine. But looking at the global stage this is why everyone is turning their backs on us.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Yeah, but it's going to be Starmbot. That's not a real change from the status quo, merely a shift from the right to the center.
@@daveogfans413 better than no change!

@@rylandcole3850 and should show you that non of them have a clue, all they have is profit on the mind. Don't rock the boat they say.
They have known about pandemics for years and what they can do. I remember watching a program about it years ago and they said that this is what would happen. They estimated 36 hours for one too get a hold of the UK.
Tories are vampires
Sickened and furious...scary.
They hold us in contempt.
Even if they was work related it’s instant dismissal for drinking alcohol on the job 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Never has a Prime Minister done so little for so many!
Everything but the truth . Johnson has " apologised " but is still in denial .
The BBC have been doing it to Scotland since 2014
My mother died in hospital.. because of rules made by Boris Johnson’s Government we could not say goodbye to her.. we could not tell her how much we loved her. We could not hold her hand as she passed away.. We could not give her a last kiss or cuddle.
This partygate has trampled all over her memory. Has trampled all over our grief. I am disgusted by this government and their blatant lies. There blatant ‘one rule for them and another for us’ attitude.
It sully’s the memory of my mothers passing. it sully’s the memory of her death. Every time I look at Boris Johnson words cannot describe the sickening disgust I feel for him and all who are supporting him.. he has urinated all over the deaths of every single person who has died alone in hospital through this pandemic. He has urinated all over the families who were stopped from saying their last goodbyes.
If he had 1 ounce of decency in his entire body he would resign..
I am so angry!
As usual I seem to ask unique questions. Apparently the police had nearly 400 photos they were looking at. WHY DO WE ONLY GET TO SEE 9 OF THEM?
@Scott Donnelly sadly mate.
On the Uvalde massacre. The police claimed they were waiting for the classroom key for an hour. But simultaneously they were saying the shooting had transformed from an active shooter to a barricaded subject. So why wait for the key?
Unique questions. Never answered.
When they go what a mess to be sorted
....and how are Labour going to sort it without any policies or ideas or working majority..?
Boris' "genuine sorrow and remorse" act lasted about 10 minutes before he became defensive and dismissive of questions from MP's about the report. It's just a point of principle now more than anything else, if you, a leader of a team, are not upholding the core values set in that team then you shouldn't be the leader.
Why are you on first name terms with this charlatan???
It lasted as long as the written statement, he held but struggled read, without going off message and "Peppa pigging"
Then you saw the true BoJo, unrepentant, dismissive etc.
The same happen after his fine, his difficulty in reading a fixed statement and refusal to answer any questions.
@Andy Collins, Unfortunately, lots of brexit supporting idoits voted for him and still love him. And now he/they have got away with this behaviour and lies etc they know that they can literally say or do anything they like without any repercussions. Johnson can just laugh off anything aimed at them. Take note, that this was the moment when any hope of democracy and common decency, died.
We are now in a time where celebrity means more than truth and morals in the world of British politics.
Britain is a great country and requires a great honest and trustworthy leader!!! Unfortunately Johnson does not meet this criteria!!!
Roxanne nobody in the Torie party meets this reqo
nothing like Tony B liar
Roxana Andrews That is the understatement of the decade...and Britain Was a great country.

Alleges Stratton chose to defend Jonson and make fun of a serious situation. Of course she deserved to go.
Exactly, what a total disgrace she is.
Crime Minister is taking the Tories back to their historical criminal roots
Brilliant Video
....yep..love the colour contrasts..
November the 13th was my mother's funeral day and I couldn't be there. I had to dodge lockdowns in order to arrange her cremation, but couldn't say goodbye to her with dignity or read her eulogy. Thanks Boris while you're guffawing and quaffing wine and cheese, we the real people will never forget.
Very well said. Let’s keep everything in mind and make them pay at the ballot box. Get rid of these clowns who think that normal rules don’t apply to them.
These videos showing James's powerful analysis of what's actually going on in UK politics are so important.
As they gather more views, the videos become increasingly visible and are delivered to a wider audience as suggested content.
Hopefully the people that need to hear James's words will discover these clips. If people can objectively watch these monologues and have their views shift away from supporting the current government, we could begin hoping for change on the horizon.
James should've sided with Corbyn in stead of attacking him. He is part of the problem and the reason why the Starmbot is now your only hope to get rid of BoJo. Also thanks to The Independent and The Guardian for their fair coverage... not. Nick Cohen was the single worst columnist. Now he is writing only against the Tories but during Corbyn, he spend all his time attacking him in stead of the Tories under BoJo.
Go figure. They want Tories and Labour to be two sides of the same coin. Neoliberal Starmer or extremely reactionary Johnson. Hmmmmm. What a great choice to have...
FPTP systems are great for avoiding extremism on both ends but actually it creates reactionaries on the right while moving left to center. Just look at USA to see the similarities between Sanders and Corbyn...
He is a total hypocrite muppet is o'brien
@@antonym9278 Oh look, a political spambot in the wild. Let's pay a lot of attention to it!
great post Rax. AGREED 100% mate.
Anyone who still votes johnson is simply admitting that they are a peasant.
Unfortunately the serf Stockholm syndrome with the criminal British ruling class is still very strong ?

That's the english character unfortunately
@@alexrobertssings True.. the english are inherently subservient. It is the centuries old feudal system. The little englanders love their old etonian "betters".
An Englishman's home is his castle - but inside, sits a serf.
I think Starmer’s appeal to senior Tories this lunchtime to consider Johnson’s position was the right one.
As another song goes…..if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Excellent quote !
The Manics need to reissue this song , I fully agree with you sir .
That song was about the Labour party at the time
@@angrybrit7331 I don't think so , you need to listen to it . Nothing to do with the Labour party.
Boris said he attended parties to say goodbye and thank someone leaving. They got a party, nurses got a clap!!! Disgusting behaviour from them all.
Inhuman tory slug
.....you voted for him...
BoJo is the king of the brass neck. He needs booted out of office. 😡😡😡
Jas, Try booting him out at the ballot box; that's the democratic
thing to do, not push him out because you fear he'll win again.
Thank you James O'Brien!
Johnson said his staff had worked hard and needed to relax. What about the doctors and nurses? I bet they would have loved to stop work at 4pm and have a knees-up.
This unfortunatley shows how democracy works and the fact the real colour of government. British governments in the past have done much worse, this time its to its own people and not others!
No, this isn't how "democracy works", it isn't democracy, far from it.
@@geoffreyduckworth6062 but it is has always been like this in the UK. Also look at USA etc. are they real democracies or control by big money or large companies? Guess it is nicer here than other places so we carry on and keep calm.
We have 2 democracies. One we elect a rosette and 'local' elections then for us that's it. Then the democracy in Westminster where we have no say.
Our version of democracy isn’t working. Needs to change and be more democratic.
The man is not only unfit to be Prime Minister he is actually unfit to be a human being...he makes me sick to my stomach and I never lost a loved, how they must feel I cannot imagine
IMHO. BJ should not just face criminal charges and be fined, he should face criminal charges and the possibility of a custodial sentence.
As the Americans across the pond would say.
''Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!''
Can we start calling them liars in the house now? During pmq's? During debates? During speeches? If we can call them out, to their faces, as they spew their lies, then a lot fewer people will fall into the trap of believing them.
I feel deeply ashamed for voting for Boris Johnson in 2019, I was really taken in by this guy, he was so plausible back then, he is such a an accomplished liar
I never get taken in by any Tory politician.
Apparently there was txt messages sent between one of these civil servants and another who attended these parties saying 'I think we got away with it'
Matt Hancock had to resign for breaking social distancing rules for what was in comparison far lesser crime! Boris needs to go along with his other self-serving cabinet members. Its time to bring this show to an end and put the big dog down! This culture of acceptable bare face lying and deceit that continues to seep through the cabinet is intolerable, bad enough that blatant lies are told to the electorate, considerably worse that they are presented in parliament, inexplicable and incomprehensible when they have the gaul to lie to the Monarch.
Why are you on first name terms with the bare faced liar then?
All part of the facade that you fell for
Most people lack the courage or self sufficiency to stand for the truth and challenge the lies
This prime minister is ridiculous he keeps bleating on about how he's going to get on with priorities of British people well do that and resign that's what everyone wants
I want him to stay.
Can you give any reason with any substance to your reply
@@dragonfly6908 Okay, anyone with a three digit IQ wants him to resign.

@@stayhappybetrue ok broadcaster.
It infuriates me that apologies are fine for politicians and those with influence, but the rest of us have to suffer being dealt with, mostly summarily, by the law ... and more than a £50 penalty!!
Thank you all. But this breaks my soul I can't watch much more. I do try in my local to show people my view, but its hard.
When the downing Street representative said that Friday 'wine-time' Friday at 4pm was the last "opportunity some people would have to actually see anyone until the Monday!" What did they think millions of people were doing who were furloughed, who lived alone, who's mental health suffered tremendously as they couldn't see their families or friends! It's sickening and reprehensible. We say that they should be ashamed of their selves. But it's clear that THEY HAVE NO SHAME!!
This is more evidence of why we need my Greed and Morality Law. All politicians finances must be available to the public and journalists questions must be answered. Criminal charges would follow if failure to follow these simple laws.
Tbh I cannot process it without going into an emotion of rage
Allegra Stratton deserved to resign, she was a disgrace sniggering away at that mock press conference.
unbelievable!!!!
Why is this not more public
How can Boris ever again stand there and tell people what to do. I would suggest that most people would not listen and rightly so. All i heard today was lets move on, yes lets move on with a PM who is a complete liar and would never be trusted, if thats what you want then lets move on.
So why are you on first name terms with this complete liar?

I put this question on another video comments section as well. I've been told Baz Javid, Savid's brother, headed up the Met's investigation into Partygate at No 10. Is this true? If so, it makes a total mockery of the whole police investigation, as Baz should have recoused himself, due to a conflict of interest!
Anthony yes it is true
@@miakeogh6844 OMG. It's just ridiculous how this hasn't got to be the NO 1 story...YET!!!

Perhaps Boris will understand school ground politics, 'Liar Liar Pants on Fire!'
I’m done with politics. The whole system needs to come down.
Remember ministers and Bojo are all civil servants. We taxpayers pay their wages. The arrogance is staggering
The question asked began with "can he tell the house...". That was the answer he was giving when he said "no, Mr Speaker". Plausible deniability
They might as well replace Johnson wth an Animatronic in parliament. It wouldn't take much programming either.
At least you might able to programme it to look more convincing in simulating humility, it couldn't be worse than Johnson's strained efforts.
We'd never know if it starts to waffle and say nonsensical things at least.
Elected politicians should be more accountable than the general public and lead by example.
With the evidence right there in front of us! Why is it still not enough for people to take action? beggars belief! :(
it's a disgrace, and these people should not be in charge of running this or any other country
The betrayal is palpable.
Please, don't stop !
'I apologise' should be written on his headstone .
08.00 "Will the PM tell the house whether there was a party in Downing Street on 13 ......"
"Mr. Speaker, No .........."
Where "No ...." in ordinary language means "No, there was no party ..."
But "No ...." in Johnson's mind means "No, I will not say whether or not there was a party ...."
And that is how he hopes to wriggle out of this one.
And they will probably let him away with it.
They may, I will not.
There's proof he's lied to parliament, the standards committee has begun it's investigation, when, not if, they find him guilty of that offence, he WILL be suspended, which WILL trigger an automatic recall, meaning he'll no longer be an MP. Dead man walking.
Systemic corruption starts at the top and is like a domino effect, it corrupts everything below.
Give it a rest!

democracy needs a shake up....its becoming toxic in so many countries.
..PR's the way but Labour for some unfathomable reason aren't interested in true democracy....😊..
What no one asks is why they were all together, no masks, no social distancing, rubbing shoulders and shaking hands... what did they know, that we didn't?
How can a person be "sickened and furious" with OTHERS when they "take full responsibility" for everything?
They still just don’t get it do they ?
Keep them accountable james
Parties every week with people sitting on each other’s laps?
Whilst in the UK at the time,people were missing funerals of loved ones?
My mother along with many other elderly people couldn’t see her family for over a year! But parties at no 10 are fine,cos these are entitled”special” people that their own rules do not apply to?
Have any of them agreed to be interviewed by you James?
The Crime Minister And Chief Of England has no shame at all and either do his shameless government too.
Why was the party in his expensively decorated flat not included in the report?
Sadly the reference to this affair is referred to as 'partygate'. This gives a false impression of the reason this is all so disgusting. There was a virus running riot, it was dangerous , it was debilitating, it killed. (eventually more than 5 times the population of the town I used to live in died, passed away through covid, now just memories). The rules were to prevent the spread. Ideally to stop mingling of people with the exception that some need to get near other to work. So any gathering was wrong and EVERYBODY knew it and knew why. Those No 10 gatherings were not only disgusting, but potentially deadly.
