To be fair they also don't bother investigating thefts and burglaries where there is clear evidence of a crime and they have a chance of finding evidence. So, as much as I'd like to see it, there was no chance of them following this up.

It had metastasised throughout his body and he was going to die, painfully and slowly over the course of the next couple of months or so. That prognosis came to pass and he died in February. We didn’t come back to the UK to visit him because we were following the COVID rules & my wife didn’t get to say goodbye to her dad, nor did my daughters get to say goodbye to their grandad.

My mum had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s around the start of last year. Last Christmas would have been about my last chance to speak to her, and not the half-dead husk she is now, who only occasionally flickers with the dimmest smidgeon of recognition. She couldn’t really cope with the telephone or skype back then, even with people helping, but she could manage small face-to-face chats. But I didn’t go home and talk to her, because I was obeying the rules. When I finally got to see her, she had no speech, and clawed at my watch and wedding ring like some character out of a bad play. She briefly recognised me (I hope, but I may be deluding myself) and as I sat there with her she patted me on the head. That’s it, though, that’s my interaction with my mum. I gave up the chance to say goodbye because I was sticking to the rules. Again, my daughters didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to a grandmother who could understand them and respond.

And these c.nts. These utter, f.cking, shameless, hateful c.nts, were getting pissed (almost certainly on free booze provided by the public) and plotting their vicious schemes and lies.
I can’t say how much hatred and contempt I have for them.

I haven’t tweeted about the c.nts at number 10 because for once the country seems to be united on it so there’s not much I can say that hasn’t been said but for the avoidance of doubt, they’re c.nts, he’s a c.nt, I’m furious, get them OUT.

This is dangerous politics. It seems there were (at least) 3 Downing Street Christmas parties last year, 2 of which Boris attended. He’s launched an enquiry into the one he didn’t and has thrown his staff under the bus. Why would they not throw him under the bus in return?

75-year-old Dian Young, was unmoved by the issue and said it hadn’t affected how we would vote at all. “My opinion is it happened 12 months ago; forget it. There’s a lot of things we need to sort out now with regards to Covid and that should be the priority,” he said, as he drank coffee in Oswestry’s Festival Square on Thursday morning. “I don’t believe the prime minister knew anything about it. It was going on behind the scenes.”

One Oswestry local who asked to remain anonymous said she and her husband had voted Conservative for the first time at the last general election, but were considering switching back to Labour after reading the news this week. “We didn’t see our family last Christmas because we weren’t allowed, were we?” she said.

Considering? How's that 2019 vote working out for you? Not great? The pandemic is a bit of a shitshow? And so is Brexit? Paterson turned out to be a complete tw.t. That Johnson is just one prolonged nightmare isn't he. But by all means consider away; if you think long and hard enough a single solitary reason to continue voting Conservative might occur to you ... but I doubt it.

What's that quote about insanity and making the same mistake again and again?

It’s not really in his house, he lives at number 11.

Look, ‘party’ suggests, and you see some of the graphics that go around with some of the coverage here, with balloons and poppers and these kind of things. It suggests that there’s big invitations going out and lots of people coming in from elsewhere and those kind of things, so I think it’s right to be proportionate until we know the detail.

He was challenged about this today on LBC, and apparently it wasn't a party because a party must have balloons and there were no balloons:

Even without the condoms in their bed, the piss stains on the carpet, the vomit in the plant-pots and the empty fridge, they know you've had a party before they are half way up the garden path; they know before they leave the next town to come home. They just know.
Always.
To pretend that he didn't know, whether it's his house or next door, is a lie.
