Boris Johnson. Partygate? Fine.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson, a man so posh that he uses the war in Ukraine to keep his job, has been fined for breaking Lockdown rules because he attended a Downing Street party.
Secretary of State for Transport of the United Kingdom, Grant Shapps, a man so qualified for the job that he benefited from the Tory policy of “Yes, I will go and defend the indefensible,” were doing the rounds on the news this morning defending the PM.
By the way ‘PM’ stands for ‘Prime Minister’ not ‘Posh Mess.’
Anyway, in part 11 of a non-existent series I ask “What if months from now Grant Shapps had to defend President of Russia Vladimir Putin?”
Grant Shapps: ….The President went into the Ukraine….
Journalist: ‘Ukraine.’ Went into ‘Ukraine.’
Grant Shapps: That’s what I said.
Journalist: No you said….ne’ermind. You were saying?
Grant Shapps: The President went into the Ukraine. It became clear that he should not be there, so he left.
Journalist: He was there ages. He should’ve left immediately.
Grant Shapps: What you need to understand is that it was a busy time then. The President was working around the clock. He did not realise he should not be there.
Journalist: It was obvious he shouldn’t be there. Why did he stay?
Grant Shapps: He left.
Journalist: He didn’t leave immediately.
Grant Shapps: Yes, however he did leave. He recognised he shouldn’t be there. He left.
Journalist: Yes, but he shouldn’t’ve been there in the first place.
Grant Shapps: The question is, did he set out to do this? Was it something that was done with malice, with intent? The answer of course is no — it’s something that happened in error. We’ve all done it.
Journalist: Some will find it hard to believe the President didn’t realise he shouldn’t be there.
Grant Shapps: The President genuinely did not consider it an Invasion. He is human and humans make mistakes.
