Has anybody else watched Partygate on CH4?

We recorded it on Tuesday and watched it last night. It couldn’t have been harder hitting. It’s a dramatisation of people getting pissed at the fourteen parties in number ten interspersed with accounts from people who had stuck to the rules and some that were fined for not doing so. Like one guy who got a £14,300 fine or a teenage girl who got a £10,000 one, compared to the £50 quid ones handed out to Number Ten miscreants, including the cause of all the mess, the lying bastard Johnson.

I highly recommend watching it.

Some reviews.

Yes, I watched it the other night.

To most it will be unbelievable, but having known SPADS in the past, I assure you, quite believable. This band of Tory supporters are brought up, and schooled to think that they are the superior race.

I agree, I was shocked by the fines that were imposed in the general arena. I had no idea that they were so high - and as you say, the inner sanctum only had token fines imposed…

The drama is enough to make you socialist, if you are not already… :rofl:

Watched about half of it last night. Didn’t exactly paint a glowing picture of Bojo and Co. Will watch the rest this evening. If a country is run by people like that what chance is there for the decent and honest among us?

The country has always been run by people like this, it’s just that everyone having a camera phone means that we get to see it now.

Whilst I agree in principle, I doubt anywhere near as bad as the modern lot. Society will fall ever more apart when those in charge are role models for the rest of society. Fewer and fewer keeping to any morale compass as they watch the powerful abuse everything in their grasp from contracts to friends and relatives and mass incompetance to shear greed.

Are you suggesting we should execute Sunak, Johnson, Truss, etc…? If so, I could get behind that :smiley:

Did you mean Oliver?


The UK may well have been in a better place than it is now if Oliver’s future plan had succeeded.

Given that Johnson and co will shortly be resigned to history does anyone really care?

Yeah but Adam1, I suspect the Socialists / Labour would have been as bad. Unfortunately.

Yes as I think others have proved?!?!

But they did have a get together, including refreshments which was investigated by the police with no action taken because they still kept within the rules as they distanced although they work together.

So your speculation seems wrong?

I would like to see them subject to significant consequences for their actions, incompetence and corruption.

I hope so, they’ve set a precedent that needs to be expunged. The feting of Truss is another example of zero repercussions for outrageous behaviour. Moral hazard abounds.

No, because Thomas Cromwell was the very epitome of an English politician who used his position of near absolute power to make himself and his friends rich.

Sounds familiar

Ah see where you are coming from now, I thought you may have meant we need a revolution in which case the other Cromwell. :blush:

What have we learned from history?
