Police to Issue Government Lockdown Party Fines?

So apparently the police are about to issue fines to the government for the lockdown parties that they had. Now, I felt like they were going to get away with it. It seemed like it was all brushed under the carpet when, of course, the news of the Russia-Ukraine war came out. Now, of course, Russia, Ukraine, and wars are far more important things for a government to deal with and be involved involved in. But it seemed like again and again, things that the government did that maybe they should have been held accountable for, they were going to get away with. And it certainly seemed through Brexit, then COVID, then Putin, it seemed like the government could pretty much do what they want, and then some new bad news would hide the accountability required. Now, I have sympathy that this particular government have had to deal with COVID and lockdowns and wars which other governments haven't, yet they'll be compared to other governments. That being said, if you lock us down and you make it illegal to trade illegal, then you must follow your own rules. And you can't have a party every month while we can't even run our business and see our family, and people dying of cancer can't even get into hospital. I'm sorry, that's wrong. That's double standards. And it looked like they were gonna get away with it again. And maybe they will, but just some breaking news: the first fines for breaches of COVID-19 lockdown rules as part of a police inquiry into government parties will be issued soon. Now, this is according to the BBC. So let's see, because I must admit I'm sceptical. How much will the fines be? Will they really hurt? Will they really be penal? Will it really change the behaviour? Will our government really be held to account? Let me know what you think in the comments. Apparently the investigation from Partygate, the Gray Report, investigated 12 events across the government beginning in January. Not one party, 12 different lockdown rule-breaking events or parties that happened from inside the government. Goodness me, if that's not double standards, I don't know what is. And I haven't said anything about it because I thought obviously Ukraine, Russia, Putin, these are far more serious world issues. It almost felt wrong. But, um, now that this news has come out that apparently the investigation is still ongoing, is still ongoing, uh, yeah, um, it seemed like it had been brushed under the carpet. Well, let's see. But apparently the forces— so the fines from the, the police force are apparently imminent. This is according to The Guardian. Downing Street and the Met have not yet commented, and for months Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his government were dogged by reports of staff parties in Downing Street when COVID restrictions were in place. Now, an analyst Um, this is Laura Kuessenberg, a political editor, says quite rightly, the war in Ukraine has been sucking up much of the government and parliament's focus in recent weeks, but let's not forget how much trouble the Prime Minister was in. Um, that the war released one form of pressure on the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and replaced it with another more serious in nature as he, together with allies, tried to cope with a grave conflict. But don't forget how much trouble Mr Johnson and his team were in over multiple allegations of breaking the COVID-19 regulations they set themselves. So let me know what your thoughts are. What accountability should the government have? Um, you know, do you think the fines will be penal? Do you think they're just going to get away with it again? Does— for the government to be able to get away with hypocrisy, double standards, or mismanagement? Is it going to take continual bad news for them to keep getting away with it? Because it just seems that the media seems almost serendipitous to the Prime Minister. Oh, the Prime Minister is in a lot of trouble. This bad news has come out, that's bad news has come out. Oh, wait a minute, there's a bigger story breaking over here. And they seem to get away with it time and time and time again. Now I'm not a government hater, I'm not a Boris hater. It's not an easy job, I wouldn't want to do it. But we the people put our government into power. We the people must hold them responsible. And I'm sorry, but if you're not going to reduce VAT and reduce corp tax and reduce income tax, if you're not going to support entrepreneurs and support people being made redundant and support P&O Ferries and support all the massive redundancies, and support all the people struggling with their trade in lockdown, if you're not going to do that like you should, you're not fucking having parties either. I'm sorry, that is not happening. And it's wrong. It's really wrong. Do as I say, not as I do. No, that's not how it works. They do need to be held accountable. So please let me know in the comments how you think they need to be held accountable. Apparently the fines are coming. Now if you look on BBC News website, or probably any other news website, you go to the homepage, this is certainly not headline news, and fair enough, but I can see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 pieces of news before this one. So again, it all gets hidden. Shh, shh, shh, let's find them all a tenner and let's crack on and let's let them get away with it again. No, let's not. Let's hold them accountable. Let me know what you think in the comments. But news has just broken— oh, by the way, hit the share button as well, because if we don't all speak out about these things that are wrong— now, by the way, I'll be the first to say if things are good, because, you know, I think it's important to have balance, and usually a pretty optimistic guy. But if we the people don't speak out for things that are wrong in our country and in our government and in the world with wars and lockdowns and Brexits and everything else, then nothing is going to change. So this is the first news I've seen for weeks, finally. Apparently the first fines for breaches of CV-19 lockdown rules are about to be issued. The Met Police will issue at least 15 fixed penalty fines. Let's see how much that is, who the fines are made to, and how much difference it actually makes, and things— if things actually change. But things will not change in government unless we the people hold them accountable to the things that we believe are right for the people. This is supposed to be a democracy, but if we don't stand up and speak out, nothing will change. So please hit the share button, stand up, speak out. I think there's anger and resentment and a lack of trust in our government. That's how I feel. Let me know how you feel. Do you feel trust in your government. A lot of people are saying that Boris should have stepped down and resigned over this. Well, in, in corporations or in other careers, immediately the head, the founder, the leader would have just immediately had to step down. It would be too outrageous a controversy. But he seems to sort of bumble and charm and somewhat fib his way through it. Is this the kind of role model that we want that's running our country? A fibber and a bumbler and someone who just sort of charms and PRs his way through. Not sure. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, um, because the PM was in real trouble and there were calls for him to be resigned. And then, oh, there's a war going on. Oh, let's all go and look over here. Boris will be all right. Boris, you got more things to contend with. And yes, he has, and yes, that should be a priority. But if we forget these things and they just get put on page 17 in the media, like apologies get put on page 6 in a newspaper, then nothing changes. Let me know what you think. Hit the comments and let's, um, hit the share button and let's see what these fines really are and how accountable the government really is. And, um, if the fines aren't fair and penal and the government don't change and they aren't held to account, then we the people have to do it. You, I, and everyone else. There's better things I could be doing with my time, and you, I'm sure. We could be making money and making a difference and starting our business and scaling our business and doing good things in the world and being kind. I've often thought, don't criticise, only be kind. But sometimes you have to criticise governments or powers or leaders if they're not doing right by the world. Yeah. Someone has said here, "You're wrong, man. How many times have we proved protest doesn't change anything?" So are you saying I should say nothing and you should say nothing and that should just be it and they should just get away with it? That's what I used to think, honestly. I used to think the signatures, the protests, me ranting on social, it's gonna do nothing. If I have that attitude and everyone has that attitude, then the only guarantee is that nothing will change. So I've changed my view. I'm gonna stand up and speak out about it, even if I risk getting deplatformed. I think it's really important to stand up and speak out and hold our world and government leaders to account. Hit the share button, let me know what you think should happen in the comments. But look, I'm a lover, not a fighter, but if the government and Boris do not get proper accountability and fines that hurt, they will not change their behavior. Let me know what you think, hit the share button, and remember this: if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
