Did Johnson lie to Parliament?

Questioning is weak,

Johnson says ‘we followed the guidance to the best of our ability’

Mandatory follow up should be

‘Why did the police fine you then?’
Because the police cannot interfere where guidance was not followed, I suppose.
 
All the others at these events can’t possibly have known that they were breaking the law or they wouldn’t have attended,that’s his defence.
OR
They all thought they wouldn’t get caught and didn’t give 2 Fooks.
 
It's uncomfortable viewing isn't it.
The committee is using the Carrickball tactic, laying traps for him all over the place!
 
It's not really tricky is it? I don't think his defence is even that clever, more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese.

The fact it's the best his lawyers can up with says everything. If they don't find he's lied to parliament they're essentially giving a pass to every MP to lie with impunity and just rely on the "nobody told me" defence if challenged.

As for the 24% who don't think he's a liar. We certainly shouldn't be pandering to morons.

We will have to disagree then
I’m really not sure how you can categorically state that if someone says they believed something ……they are lying.

You can disagree with someone for sure (and I do) but their beleif will always be there belief
Ref belief in God et al

Strap the tw@t to a lie detector and watch him squirm.
 
I am personally shocked.

Whats the world coming to when you cant trust a liar to not lie about lieing.

But what about Corbyn and Starmer eh? thats what i want to know.
 
He`s an arzole and a duplicitous liar.
I had to speak to my now deceased Mam through her bedroom window, using a mobile phone, looking up two floors because she was in supported living.
Meanwhile that bastad was pizzing it up like a public school boy.
Stuff him.
That's awful Roofie, sorry for your loss.

This is the thing with Johnson though.. he asked everyone else to do things just like you did, meanwhile he took the pisz out of us all and is now looking for every little loophole and technicality to get off.

If he had even the tiniest amount of decency in him he would own his mistakes and take his punishment. I really hope they destroy him but he just seems too slippery.

I'm not saying that. Of course if people genuinely believe something they can be inaccurate but not be dishonest.

But it has to be plausible doesn't it? And for Johnson to use that defence isn't remotely plausible.

He set the F***ing rules/guidance whatever. He stood up there night after night setting them out.
 
His defence is he's a dumb, blind, deaf idiot and actually his advisors were basically running the show when he was PM. Interesting angle, I'll give him that.
 
He's just said it was OK to drink at work - In school, we weren't allowed to make a warm drink or get students drinks from taps, etc. All water fountains had been turned off.
