The key moments from Boris Johnson's Covid Inquiry testimony 

He lied about the EU almost every day when he was PM . We in the EU got used to it, even found it funny after a while ...... it's a joke, Joyce.😂

I totally agree. He is the worst sort of criminal

So he could take the blame for BREXIT and the COVID response away from the Tory Party.

How else could the Tories have made any money off it and then expect to distance themselves from the flack.

Especially when that's all you've got.

​@@patmcguirk5299And when you more or less fail that degree and your father has to go in to Oxford University to negotiate some kind of pass for you.

What on earth are you talking about? Bunter received an upper 2nd (hardly a failure) and there is no eveidence, I have been able to see, to suggest his father had to negoiate 'some form of pass for him'. How does that actually work and what evidence do you have to even suggest that occured?@@Peter-ud9bx

So does the KC. Makes you wonder what the purpose of the whole exercise was/is? Entertainment for the masses? eta He's using the word 'twigged' to appear more normal.

They don't care as the systematic destruction of our free speech will completely remove all criticism.

No! his crime is being a bumbling self seeking narcissistic utter 💥wit.. How he got to high office is a measure of Tory judgement.. 🤦‍♂️

Are you talking about this video, or in general? Either way, that's a very silly claim - there have been two accusations leveled at him by the 5 minute mark of this video, one of which he's accepted. Neither are about empathy or language. Did you mean to say that you don't believe the accusations that have been brought against him?

​@@JimFarrand I'm talking more generally, I can't say whether I believe any accusations because I don't think it's clear what he's been accused of

Because no-one knows what the right decision would have been it's hard to accuse Boris of making a wrong decision

He was bent over a barrel. He had two hurdles to get over. 1. Keep the public safe 2,. Keep his team/government working in a very difficult and demanding situation. How he dealt with the public was to ask them to keep apart to stop the spread and keep their families safe. How he managed his team/ BUBBLE. was to keep them motivated, positive and working in a country that even their families were being effected, in what should have been a closed environment that should have never left No.10. blame the lizard that leaked it. Boris did a good job in an uncertain and demanding situation. Not to forget. He had COVID and carried on with the task while having to watch out for the vultures overhead. Pessimistic Press, other (no better) political parties and his own back stabbing members of his own party!! No wonder Putin has invaded Ukraine. Because we can't even stand by our own elected leader. For more than five minutes, because we all "THINK" That we all could do it better.

Would you forgive him no matter how many mistakes he made ?

@@cobbler40 Potentially. One difficulty is that prominent people, many of whom we revere, from previous generations, were just as fault-ridden as the current crop. But they did not have the instant and constant in depth scrutiny of every word spoken, every action, every single thing written in public or private. In addition the general population were generally speaking more forgiving and less demanding of continual and unachievable perfection.

Because he was effing PM

He was the PM. The buck stops with him. He was incompetent and he was in charge.
