They broke the law. They didn't just break rules: they broke their own law. I want to see prosecutions.
Why are the police not investigating this criminal man in No 10?
I won’t be complying to anymore rules 🖕.
They're fake laws, the government can do what they like. Who cares that they had a party at Christmas? They haven't followed the Covid rules since day 1 and neither have I. They know the covid rules are nonsense and so do I. Seems like only you still believe in Coronavirus.
it wasnt law.
@@Tad1945 You complied with the rules already so they already won. 2022 the year of the great collapse.
I was ill last Christmas, and couldn't drive myself. My dad was determined to drive the 150 miles to collect me and 150 miles to take me home for a family Christmas. Then the rules changed and it couldn't happen. 'It'll be OK,' I told him, 'we'll have a family Christmas next year.'
He died last month. I'll never have a family Christmas with him again. So like many other people, I will *never forgive* the people who laughed and partied last year, and are blue in the face with lying this year, for depriving me of my last Christmas with my dad, and humiliating me about it afterwards.
I'm sorry for your loss, we're with you
That's absolutely brutal to be robbed of that, I'm so sorry. I lost my father eight years ago so not the same at all but please stay strong
Oh goodness this is awful, I’m so dreadfully sorry 😞😞 I don’t blame you for being so angry, it is truly appalling and despicable.
So sorry for your trouble. Take care.
@@johngalvin3124 Thanks, mate.
I lost my father in May this year. I had no idea that last Christmas would have been our final one together but we missed out as he lived 60+ miles away.
This enrages me more than words could ever express. I now understand the full extent of adding insult to injury.
My heart goes out to you. Thank you for doing the right thing at such terrible personal cost. You should never have been betrayed like this by these politicians.
@@janicestewart4347 I appreciate your kind words.
Politics is a joke, voting is nothing more than a false sense of freedom!
I'm so sorry you lost your Dad Arlene. The Conservative party have always been heartless and selfish. I'll never forget Camerons governments first round of cuts to services. The sheer joy in the Commons that day as they roared their approval waving papers after every cut was announced. Pretending it was necessary but couldn't hide their joy sticking it to the poor and those in need.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, did he die by covid?
"We're all in this together."
No, no we are not, that has been clear since day one.
My 81 yr old mum was in hospital on 18 Dec. I remember her crying on the phone to my dad everyday because he wasn't allowed to visit.
Heartbreaking ❤️🩹 I am OUTRAGED!
That's awful,Poor lady
So sorry your poor mum had to go through this while these buffoons are laughing about it. Then this woman’s tears started because she got caught.

Never forget Claire.
The Tories always have been and always will be, " lower then vermin ".
They will never ever change.
Aww big hugs to you ❤❤❤ I'm totally outraged with the way this government are behaving. When are people going to wake up, and NOT vote these vile people back in st the next electuon?
Rees-Mogg is the quintessential representative of the rich Tory who doesn’t give a f#*k about most of us. Shame on him🤬 James, you’ve nailed it again. Thanks for all that you do.
They're all like Mogg, no exceptions.
@@kyorin6526 I agree, but it has to be said that Mogg is the one who is the most public, the most senior and the most vile of them all. All the rest of them use him as their role model, aspiring to be as vile as he is. And of course we all know his position is not at any risk because Johnson and the rest of the cabinet clowns will protect him, make excuses for him and lie for him.
Even his name has a Mog
FFFF JRM
@@kyorin6526 he is one of the worst the sniveling gobshite of a man
My friend died in the summer. He was only allowed to be seen by one person before he left us. We actually had a conversation between us about who that should of been because his dad couldn't make it over in time from Ireland due to travel restrictions. Very difficult stuff trying to work out who gets the magical ticket to spent time with someone. We then had to stand outside the crematorium on the day of his funeral with the doors open as we all peered inside because of social distancing. I felt massively like I let him down that day but I genuinely thought we was all paying by the same set of standards. Then I see these videos. These people need criminally charging. I'm beyond angry. Integrity is clearly something politicians don't understand.
There are a number of truly dangerous Acts of Parliament being debated or passed into law right now:
Right to protest
Privatised NHS
Parliament disregarding Court orders
Please focus on these...
The news of the Christmas party was all over the Irish media but nothing about debate in our Dail of our constitutional rights being taken away and voted the our health minister Stephen Donnelly being granted sole powers to do as he pleases...taken away our right to protest. People need to wake up
Assigned extradition
Assange
Just shows what contempt they have for the public.
Contempt isn’t strong enough a word anymore. They view us as disposable chaff for their own ambitions
“Let the bodies pile high”
You're wrong, they have contempt for the law! They have never had a thought for the public.
If only there'd been some way of knowing the character of Jacob Rees Mogg before now.
Oh wait there was that thing he said about the Grenfell Tower victims lacking common sense. And his punishment for that was to make an apology and all was forgiven.
It shows they don't believe what the media has been hysterically sprouting. 'The sky is falling and we''re all going to die! (......LOL let the proletariat believe it, that doesn't apply to us )
Gosh you just figured that out?
She apologized for her comments, and not for breaking the rule itself. She apologized for her comments "seeming " disrespectful to the millions of us who had to follow the rules. She didn't just SEEM disrespectful. She absolutely WAS! What a vacuous apology.
If she had come along to mock you directly you might have a point.
They're never sorry for doing it, only sorry for getting caught. Just like school bullies.
My dad went into Poole hospital on the 12th of the 12th 2020 and died on the 20th of Jan 2021 from covid that is not funny ...
@@jeddward9464 Were there Tories there laughing?
@@MrsZambezi Oh go back to reading your Daily Fail boomer
Some things I’ll never understand: quantum physics, the popularity of Ed Sheeran and the subservience and deference of this country’s working class to privately educated, entitled, narcissistic sociopaths...
I am German… I probably shouldn‘t even care, but I‘ve spent some time working in England and got to like the country quite a bit. Brexit came and felt quite devastating and disappointing but I‘ve kept the comments to myself.
This on the other hand is just so disrespectful I can’t hold back.
Sure we had our fair share of politicians lying and using us, too but if anything we learned that you just don‘t laugh about the misery of others. And to imagine that you‘re even responsible for it… just a very sick joke. How could JRM happen? Having a posh accent and money seems all that he‘s about. Where‘s the decency in his actions? What happened to the British traits?
I work for the Police. Last year I broke up parties and gatherings. Last year I worked hard to uphold the law to keep people safe. Last year I dropped with a blood clot in my lung. Last year, my friend and work colleague ended up in a five day induced coma, due to Covid. He survived.
Last year, the ruling government laughed in my face and had a party.
I do not know the words to express my anger, my disbelief and my disappointment.
One day, my lack of words will become a vote. On that day, I will have my say.
Keep safe.
Printable words fail me, I worked as a carer at this time, I remember vividly being dressed in PPE singing Happy Birthday with one of our 92 year old residents in the home lounge, her wheelchair being by the window and her two daughters singing along outside the window in the car park as they weren't allowed in to give her a hug or a kiss! I've missed paying respects at funerals queued hours at supermarkets at the beginning of lockdown, not seen my young grandchildren for months on end. I'm absolutely incensed at the sanctimonious grin on her face. These people were voted in and are in a position of trust to govern the country FOR US, we are not beholding to them! This makes a mockery of millions of peoples sacrifices, vile people, vile morals!
You're a shining star of humanity in my eyes, they're a pile of 💩, your work is immeasurable ✋✌
@@bereal6590 Thank you x
Unfortunately people will still vote for them.
'Printable words fail me'. A perfect way to describe my feelings many times when I have tried to express my thoughts on them all. Vile, awful, sickening people. I'm beyond furious!
These contemptuous villains have no sympathy for anything or anyone........except themselves
On the 18th of December 2020 I was working as an OT on an older person's mentall heath ward. This ward was a red zone at the time meaning almost all of our patients were covid positive. Several of them were at the hospital next door in ICU being ventilated. By mew year 3 were dead - and that wasn't even close to the end of it.
Covid, even more so than Brexit, has torn the heart out of me and made me despise this island I live on. I will never forgive any tory for this.
Wasn’t there supposed to be massive, massive fines for that sort of thing?
Something like £10,000. Massive for the likes of you and I, for most Tory MPs it's penny change
Yes you’ve been describing it James but you’re describing it to people who already understand. The people who don’t understand, have no interest in hearing the truth. And this cycle just continues on and on.
The majority are already the converted. But theres people on the fence. And hopefully his powerful words will eventually break through to the few voters who might oust these idots at the next election.
Sam the reason the people who JOB wants to reach aren't listening is very simple indeed; because he never listens to them or their concerns, they simply mirror his lack of interest and disdain. JOB will never know this as he blocks all opponents so no one can reach him other than those who already agree with his epic fact omission. Most intelligent opponents will not call his show, not out of fear he will 'expose their ignorance' lol, no, it's because there is no point calling-in as he always tries to launch schoolboy gotcha's and never enters into a grown-up civilized discussion. He thinks his public school boy tropes and fading-out of callers is wildly entertaining in the way only his sort would
I listen to JOB very carefully and his schtick relies on epic fact omission. which gullibles easily swallow despite gaping great logical holes and duality. I could list a hundred examples such as not saying sorry for being so badly wrong and incredibly rude to callers when insisting the £falling would lead to very high inflation. He did this little narrative for 24 months. Totally wrong yet never goes back over it and say he was wrong, the very lack of humility he accuses others of.
"The people who don’t understand, have no interest in hearing the truth." This is why people have glued their face to the M25. I have no interest in insulate Britain, but sometimes getting your point across has to ruffle some feathers.
What truth is that then 🤔🤔🥱🥱🥱
Johnson didn’t know, absolutely bull***t, his senior adviser was asking the joke questions and another senior spokesperson answering, smiles at her pathetic answers. I am sad and angry at our government and l am sick to my stomach with there actions or non action. Time to rid of this cancer at Westminster. How dare they laugh and party when people were dying. How dare they.
Plenty of people voted for them despite knowing how vile "they" were.
Johnson was distracted in the toilet doing something else.
@@MrAer85 Hiding in a freezer?
I know when someone halfway down the street is having a party. I think I'd notice a party going on in my own house.
The rhetorical "what do you say?" comment is really important too. As if everyone knows that the PM is totally condoning parties which are against the rules that they couldn't even blag their way out of it if they tried
I am sickened to the stomach with this government. There is no way back for them.
A week later our family lost a cousin to Covid in her 30s leaving behind her son & Husband.
Then after caring for her, my Aunty & Uncle both contracted covid. My Aunty almost died and is living with the heartbreak of losing her daughter and living with ongoing symptoms. They should all be lined up in stocks and the people that lost love ones in the weeks that followed be allowed to do what they want.
Allegra Stratton has resigned. An advisor nobody has ever heard of, falling on their sword yet again for the "Our rules for them, no rules for us" government that employed her. And the government gets to walk away and say - "nothing more to see here"
They are going to clear out the junior people who attended the "party". If Johnson doesn't go hopefully one of them, with union backing, will take the government to an Employment Tribunal as journalists can attend.
I was expecting her to resign earlier in the day. Happy Christmas Alegra........on your own bi**h
Hey resignation couldn't make it any more obvious that she was telling the truth about the party
I'm sure she'll get a nice payout with just a little confidence clause attached, if she does guess who'll be paying for it, I'll help you out it won't be the people she protects, Johnson doesn't even use his own money to pay to entice mistresses into his bed if he doesn't have to.
She was set up nicely by the Tory boys and fell for it with her silly giggly girly response ....we are all mates together......and even knew MSM were in the room. At the BBC she was decent at her job, now she's bolloxed.
On the 18th December I was upset that I could not see my dad on Christmas Day when we were mourning the death of my mum 30 days before. Really angry at their distasteful of making it a joke. Angry at the obvious lies from the MP's .
Are you still following their rediculous rules? Personally I don't give a f@ck about their rules (never have).
@@Audigiant If the family members are in hospital, then its nothing to do with following the rules. They don't let you in, and if you were to intrude, then there's serious trouble. My last chance to talk to my dad was on facetime, so I understand your pain, Chris. All the best
@@Audigiant they should of never existed. A medical and political controlling power grab orchestrated by the WHO. The human mind is the easiest thing on earth to manipulate, as we have clearly witnessed.
@@breakxy No one would have been able to prevent me from visiting a close family member in a hospital for the last time, no chance...
@@Audigiant Are you dense? There's only so much you can do. Maybe you didn't have the dissatisfaction of losing a family member in a hospital during the pandemic because if you did, then you'd know that they don't let you in past certain hours, and if you were to intrude, then there's serious trouble. No one would have been able to prevent you? Clearly don't understand the situation.
I'm genuinely more shocked at how many people are surprised by their behaviour lol
Sorry Corbyn said the government should consider stopping flights from the most infected places on the 14th March 2020. They finally brought in flight restrictions in Jan 21. Corbyn would have taken Coronovirus far more seriously.
I'm not a labour (or tory) voter but I 100% believe the people woudl have faired alot better through this pandemic than they have, oh and billions of our tax Payers money wouldn't have been sent to his mates
I like how Boris Johnson makes it sound like he is angry that there was a party when he really is angry that the word got out, and this ladies and gentlemen is textbook political double speech.
He’s trying to say he’s angry there was a party whilst still simultaneously still saying there wasn’t a party.
I'm fuming 😤, I spent last Xmas alone, my Daughter lives less than 5 miles away from me...and I spent Xmas by myself 😔 .
Earlier today I had tears of anger dropping in my lap... I am FUMING.
why? why would you follow the rules last Christmas when it's these people that set them?
So did i. And rage doesn't even cut it here. Don't forget this is another thing in a long long line of lies and insults to our intelligence from them.
@@audreymcgready2031 You people insult your own intelligence when you vote. Why should these people have any respect for us when this is the quality of leader we elect?
@@alexanderhowarth6460what makes you think i voted for them?? Jumped to conclusions there eh? I would never ever vote a Tory. I'm in Scotland. So make sure you know who people vote for. Before you comment.

ON December the 18th i was sat 2 metres away from my brother at a funeral directors as we planned my mothers funeral. This government and their apologists are the lowest form of life.
And once again I say, when will the people of Britain listen to us Scots, tory politicians are as rare in Scotland as the truth from BJ.
Finally, something that those who still support the current government might take notice of. Little else has gotten through.
unlikely, lets be honest
The *really* worrying thing though, is what or who do we replace the present Government with? I certainly wouldn't want a party led by someone who was an ardent defender of Jimmy Saville, and who campaigned vigorously to get that terrorist Begum woman brought back to the UK asap. And then there's Angela Rayner, Diane Abbot and the rest..... And I cannot seriously for the life of me, imagine they could run a country. I personally wouldn't allow them to run my bath.

When she said ahhhhhh, she knew she messed up
The Tories are despicable. My thoughts are with all the people who lost their lives through covid and other illnesses and the families and friends who couldn’t be with them. ♥️
Exactly...I am one of them. I personally think they should all be criminally persecuted for crimes against humanity, apart obviously the breech of their own rules. Liars and criminals. Those are not jokes, they are pure evil acts!
Very true, they always have been & always will be. Leopards never change their spots.
why use the label "the Tories"? do you honestly think anyone else in the political class is better? you're indirectly supporting the 2 party system which is why we have these problems in the first place
@@francescadf So sorry for your loss. Yes, they are truly criminals. It’s sickening.

I want this Government out and held accountable
That's heartbreaking
My goodness...so sad, so heartbreaking ❤️
I struggle listening to pieces like this because, I absolutely agree and I get so frustrated at the state of politics.
The House of Commons seems packed with children disregarding any decency or order.
I have hope and faith in Keir Starmer because, at this point I don't know what the other option is.
The current Conservative party is abhorrent to me.
My daughter was alone in her van suicidal 😢 after working days in health care a friend thankfully found her at beach and police were called not 1 ,2 but 10 police arrived cause she was breaking law in her van at night, then has a fine for £1000 that she now is paying £45 month for absolutely disgusting
That is outrageous😡
Shameful. Fight back with pride.
Allegra Stratton has resigned. The key word is 'resigned' not sacked.
The truth is that Boris and Mogg are MPs, because they are voted in by the people in there respective constituencies. So who is really to blame for these two being in power?
Can't wait for a Tory come knocking on my door at the next election.
I so dearly hope one does.
There are very few real tories left. The Conservative Party have now turned into a woke left wing party obsessed with nonsense about man made climate change and they're weak on immigration. They're also led by a tyrant who forced a tyrannical lock down on the country and imposed the corona virus act which was an attack on our freedom and civil liberties.

When James talks about the last time to see your loved ones before they passed away brought me to tears.
does james talk about where this all started? or how are countries going to be compensated instead of the people that have been affected by it all to foot the bill..?.. james obrien is a lefty, and will use any propaganda to knife away at the torys.. when james himself has lead a very well to do life.. odd.
That man has to go. What these people have done can never be explained or excused. They all have to be held accountable. We have a corrupt, liar of an PM, and all his cronies are disgusting. The whole lot have to go. When I think of the people that died without their loved ones with them, just makes me cry.
Well said
One rule for them and one for us so many loved ones lost died alone with nobody at their side we will never forget
Totally disgusted, I work in the NHS and fully supported applying the rules to try to contain the virus and protect out patients. Our patients suffered because they were not allowed visits from family. The government are a total disgrace.
Yeah right ,sounds like you still support keeping people apart , you’re just disgusted in the government
🥱🥱🥱🥱
Covid cult morons
Your a criminal for supporting such cruelty
Get another job the
then🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry for your loss Mr O'brien, this whole fiasco is infuriating, absolutely disgusting, Resign!
The most frustrating thing about this is as someone who's been following the rules from the beginning and will continue to do so. Not because the government is telling me to, but because the consensus amongst the global medical community is saying it keeps other people safe. It's going to render everything myself and anyone else who sticks to rules does pointless. Because who's going to follow the rules now when those who make them also break them... and then laugh about it. These scumbags are so completely out of touch with the average person in this country its unbelievable. I don't even blame people for breaking the rules now, in fact I understand it.
The global medical community are only here to make money. They can't make money off healthy people and cured people because there will be no cash flow. In other words they are both just as bad. 👌
How can you even trust the "Medical Community" when only the voices the government wants you to hear from the medical community are the ones saying the same thing? Can't trust anyone. Neither the lockdowns have worked, the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" has turned into soon to be 2 years and counting. And the whole "2 jabs to be fully vaccinated" is now being said "Get a booster every 5 months" Meanwhile, Pfiz e r has made over 35 BILLION dollars from all this and it has been shown how the FDA is now 60% funded by the same farma companies that they are approving medicine for. Its all lies and what is true is hidden. Like it or not, if we don't unite together to stop our leaders from taking away our freedoms while they laugh it up, we will be rolling up our sleeves for the rest of our lives and always be under control.
Yep, at worst they breached a few "rules" (the chosen terminology of the British media)....laws can only be broken by the pleb public.

A lot of them do. But not the ones that are ambitious enough to push their way to the top
Absolutely speechless at their contempt for ordinary people, and to insult people’s intelligence once again, Well !
Do honestly believe, Jim, that 'ordinary people' have not had large 'parties' in the past and will so very soon? In your dreams!
@@gentsw13 The VAST majority of ‘ordinary’ people did NOT have any ‘Parties’ and abided by the recommendations.

I know someone died during that time in hospital, lonely, without seeing their immediate family for weeks, due to having covid. And family didn’t even attended funeral, and that family has to live with this for the rest of their life! Utterly disgusting!
Tory voters. Do you see it now? Has the penny dropped about these monsters?
With some tories it would never drop. I just hope the ppl who voted tory for brexit reasons realise their mistake

It's great how they find it funny when family members couldn't be by their loved ones dying bed ,and not to being able to to help our own families and friends on the own and suffering from mental health problems throughout this pandemic, it makes me angry that our so called PM hasn't got the guts to stand up and be honest NO WE DONT WANT HIM RUNNING THE COUNTRY ,IF THEY CAN LIE AND LAUGH ABOUT THIS WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN GOING ON THE PUBLIC DONT KNOW, TRUST HAS WELL GONE GET HIM OUT AND THE REST
This government is a joke… I am a doctor and I have been working tirelessly during this pandemic… I did not even go to India to Visit my parents for more than 2 years. We did our best work in the front line to save as many lives as we could. This video of Allegra is outraging after all we we did together. So far the government hasn’t done any for the NHS staff. I wish we have a better government tomorrow. Rather than one who is a complete joke to this nation.
How can anyone watch this and still make excuses for the tories? Two words.. Stockholm syndrome. List the growing evidence of lies, corruption and the general lack of trust, honour and integrity that the government typifies, it’s sickening.
As soon as I heard Jacob talk, I had to stop watching, have a coffee break and watch the rest. If there was ever a mascot for the tories, he is it, loathsome and over privileged narcissist.. right, need another coffee..

I work in England 3 days a week and have been for 32 years and I really fear for this country.. never thought I’d say it but I’m going to look for a job in the Netherlands where I’m from coz if around 50% of people think it’s ok how this country is run I don’t want to be ant part of it..
28% actually voted for these cnuts , UK is NOT a true democracy , its all smoke n mirrors.
I’m in the UK on work and feel the same way. It seems somehow meaner than all the other places I have to work. I guess that’s what years of Tory rule does to a place.
ah well.
@@StumpyVandal I live here and I think the same. It's a horrid little country. I would happily move to the continent, but my health is stopping me these days, unfortunately.
when he did his ludicrous police beanie act, the sniffer dog showed a lot of interest in his trousers.
He should have been arrested for impersonating a PM!
.... something else the police turned a blind eye to...
People where dying at that moment and they thought it was a big joke, it can't be any more serious!!! He needs to resign, nothing less!!!
I regard myself as a law-abiding person, but if I was in a position to prevent the assassination of the current cabinet I would not do so.
I had to watch my wife’s funeral on a computer screen as I’m also clinically extremely vulnerable and was advised to self isolate and not to attend
Bless you Sir.
The man needs to be sacked. Personally I also have not been affected to greatly, but went for lunch with my friend who lost her grandad during covid and wasn't allowed in to see him (despite being a nurse who worked with covid patients in another hospital). He was more like a father to her and she is traumatised whenever she thinks about him or covid. I hadn't heard about this story until she told me about it today but I am appalled on her behalf and all the other people who missed the last moments with their loved ones. Such an important time to be there to say goodbye and offer comfort in one of the most distressed states we will ever find ourselves in (death and the knowledge of impending death). Heartbreaking

Anyone who let loved die alone, because of this madness needs to have a look at themselves
@@thegamingda7404 he was in a hospital with security, no one at that time was allowed in. No personal responsibility for them. troll
@@ads13924 telling the truth you feeling guilty like ?
@@thegamingda7404 is this Boris ? 🤣
I still had my parents at mine last Christmas no way was anyone in government telling me I can't have my parents at mine
Could be Boris wants "OUT", now he realises what a complete mess EVERYTHING is...
Somebody somewhere, wearing a Britons First t-shirt whilst clutching the Daily Mail newspaper, will say "yeah Boris presided over an illegal party at Downing Street as the country was all locked down but where is Jeremy Corbyn's poppy on poppy day?"
Unfortunately, there’s probably a few million of these people you accurately described.
Was Corbyn attending a terrorists funeral during Remembrance Sunday ?
@@bigbinji6145 You pal, are a total 🔔🔚
Johnson HAS to go, and with it any chance of the Tories getting a majority at the next election
It has got to that point now..I agree.
I agree but look at the other cabs on the rank .. they are just as terrifying..
Anything is better though let's be honest. Can't just leave these in charge because we're afraid of change. They've had over 10 years in charge and things have got worse not better

How is itv even giving Hancock airtime again!
Don't forget Patel. And yes what an insult to us again. When they rolled out Hancock of all people eh?

This speech should be broadcast on all mainstream media for all to see so everyone knows what this scandal really means to the country.
And yet they’ll be voted back in again. I can almost guarantee it.
Fire them then arrest them for breaking the law the same as everyone else.
I feel it's time all the toffs were herded out of town. The sight of these people, even the press PR people and the hangers on just makes me sick
Eton needs closing. Immediately.
Erm I think you'll find its the toffs that have been giving all the instructions to the eager masses - all baying for more vaccines and lockdowns. You can't really blame them for closing the door on them, breathing a sigh of relief and popping a few corks. You get the leaders you deserve.
@@jillybe1873 Yes, an absolute cesspit.
happy to help you make this happen
@@deeingalaplike the truth hurts
shame it has to taken 2 years for some sheeple to wake up
I feel the pain of everyone who lost loved ones and couldn't even be there with them in their final moment and ontop of that the loss of Sarah Everard who "probably" did think she was breaking covid rules and got into the car with that evil police officer genuinely believing she was being arrested. Its just beyond belief!
I am not a regular viewer of LBC but James speaks what the whole UK is thinking!!! Well done!
Thanks James for giving the screaming, white noise, in my head a voice over the last 18 months.

@@fakefalsetruth7213 compared to Johnson and company, he's an angel.

Well said James!
I'm raging ,I can't believe I wasn't invited to the downing Street party.why would they not invite me 😩 ,oops I forgot ,I HAVE A F--KING CONSCIENCE AND I CARE FOR OTHERS.theyve not made that a crime have they ,....
Let it go ffs

18th December, I was alone. I live in Italy.
My mum died 5 years ago so my poor dad was alone too.
It has had a massive impact on my mental health
I'm so sorry to hear this 😞 Hope you are better now 💓
The great democracy we live in where the public get angry over everything except when politicians blatantly breaking rules. Well done people keep.
And yet, Britain will vote Tory again.
Yes, England shall.
Up here in Scotland we shall almost certainly not.
Our terrible UK voting system means that I feel almost obliged to vote for independence although I’m an internationalist, and not a nationalist.
I wish to distance myself so far from these venal and egregious people that I am content to vote for whatever practical route allows me and my children to at least have a chance in life. I fear, indeed I now know, that remaining within the UK will fail on that.
My childrens’ life chances will be markedly better by leaving the UK asap and rejoining the EU, ‘toute de suite’, ‘jetzt’, ‘τωρα’!!!
This is the party that England continues to vote for in a majority, so i think it is time Scotland, Wales and NI leave England and its tory voters to reap their just rewards.
Why havent yall left already?
If you do that, you'll still have a tory government on your border. They must be taken out of office - that's the only solution to them. And removing large chunks of anti tory vote from the country will make that more difficult.
@@macnificent4 Because ENGLAND used lies and deception to hold onto Scotland, the people in charge are so GUTLESS they cannot let Scotland go even when it costs the people of England 15 Billion a year. Get the picture yet.
SNP in Scotland just as corrupt, if not worse than the Tories....
@@skh5960 Just keep reading the "Yoon" times and remain the ignorant Yokel you are.
The Dominic Cummings situation made it perfectly clear what they thought of the whole covid situation. This is merely confirmation.
Your mind and voice is amazing. Please continue my friend.
Once again take my hat off to you James,nailed it 👍
Can't stand the bloke! But was spot on with this argument.
@@YorkshireCampers, you could just have said you agreed with him but you just had to say you 'can't stand the bloke but...'
Do you want a medal?
@@noonthumbs2644 I can't .. when ever he has someone on his show he never lets them speak. .
Yet he sabotaged the only real alternative
The upshot was that Allegra Stratton resigned - or was pushed. The only one who actually told the truth, as closely as she was allowed to. Her only failure? To do the job Johnson assigned to her, to lie in his defence. And because she failed to lie, failed to defend him, she resigned in tears, apologising profusely. The only one with any integrity whatsoever, she is the one who went. And all the others, the ones who organised and attended that party, who enjoyed that cheese and wine and gave each other presents, they're all still there, unaffected, unapologetic, and still lying to us.
James leaves them without even the disguise of the Emperor's New Clothes.
The week this ‘Party’ went on we were trying to painfully decide who could and couldn’t come to our moms funeral.We couldn’t even have a wake for her.Don’t bother even mentioning anymore lockdowns.Because we aren’t doing in.Never again
my mom died, not of covid, put due to lockdown i was unable to see her for a long time before hand. The Tories or general public who still support Boris the Buffon are as despicable as him...
My condolences
Right now, my father is home, alone, getting on with his life as well as he can, whilst my mother lies in hospital, alone, confused, & ill. He can't visit her, because he's following the rules: she doesn't understand the rules, because she's too ill & confused to, & thinks he's just trying to get rid of her. They'll have been together for 57 years come March next year: they've rarely been apart in all that time. I would describe both as life long, liberal conservatives: they both volunteered in social care services when they were younger, & now the lies & incompetence of these clowns who are laughing & p!ssing on them in their time of greatest need. I didn't think I could detest the man any more than I already do, but somehow he's managed it. And the only journalist who's actually prepared to say it how it is publicly, on the record, every day is James O'Brien. Thank you.
I hope that your parents will be ok
blame the left wokes for demanding lockdowns from weak feeble Johnson
I'm so sorry to read about what your family is going through. Thank goodness your parents have such a kind and supportive child in their lives at such a difficult time. I'm sure your love and care must make a difference, because even strangers like me can see it when we've never met you.
@@bigbinji6145 You clueless Berk.
Beautifully put. These "people" have NOTHING but contempt for us mere peasants. Absolutely disgusting.
Is anyone else slightly unsettled by the press cynically seizing on this moment? It goes without saying, they should have obeyed the rules like we all had to. But, ask yourselves why the video's only just been leaked now, who leaked it, and what axe they had to grind.
The moralising from the gutter press on this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Given, how they are directly responsible for us having 10+ years of a Tory government. But, you carry on with your indignant rage like this has been a revelation to you. The gormlessness of the UK public shows no bounds.
Only one gormless here …. Guess who numpty
I bet you think the leaked video is a “revelation”. As opposed to a tactical move. Numpty.
I like the way he made the "I'm watching you" fingers the other way up to give him the up yours, very subtle but effective
Everything counts. Vibes in the universal scheme of things never lose the plot.
wow while peoples families were dying they were laughing, I'm crying!
You're a poet and I hope they know it!
James you speak for the nation.
I think it’s terrible she is the only one who has taken the can.
