You have no interest in the truth, you have only ever been concerned with coming out ‘on top’ on this forum. It’s why you spend day after day chasing different posters around, but don’t even vote when you could have your say.

If you agree with me, that Reynolds invite was for a party then what on earth are you banging on about? We’ve reached the same conclusion.

Yeah right, if I'm that sad then what does it say about you chasing me around doing exactly the same thing then?

I'm an old bloke who has lived most of my life and post on here to pass my time away - you've got a career, significant other, and a life to be getting on with - but you are obviously obsessed with me that much that you spend hours and hours of your life 'putting me right' as you have said several times before.

It's the internet mate, it's not real life and I'm a random bloke who you've never met or will ever do!

If you think I'M the nutter, then what does that make YOU?

As for Reynolds, yes we've reached the same conclusions but they aren't based on anything other than an email apparently sent from his computer!

Do you know for a fact he was the person who sent it?

No you don't, neither do I.

He most probably did but why not wait for that to be confirmed?

What if (unlikely but possible) he didn't?

You've already have him guilty in your head.

You've jumped to conclusions and gone on to judge everyone guilty without anything else to back that up other than your own prejudice.

That's no way to judge fairly and equally and that's why I've called you a hypocrite as you clearly like to think you do.

Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite...

Hahaha!

:rofl:

:rofl:

It's all sticks and stones mate, you need to get out more and see your significant other than wasting your time trolling an old fart like me.

You’re no claiming to have reached the same conclusion so I guess you’re a hypocrite too by your own warped standards?! Laughing

You’re now arguing the party did happen but we don’t know if it did without the facts, laughable really. Keep tying yourself in knots, I’m off out but will check in on you later little man.

Nope I never said that.

I reckon it probably did based on the email but let us first find out for certain before we go out and hang anyone...

What the hell was Martin Reynolds thinking???

It's pretty clear to me from both the comments reported from invitees 'shocked' at the proposed gathering and that out of around 100 invites only around a third turned up, that most people knew it to be both morally and illegally wrong to attend.

I'm also amazed (if it is all true) that Reynolds hasn't done the honourable thing and resigned. Surely he must have feared this coming out after all that happened leading up to Christmas?

I've been absolutely consistent on this throughout.

I'm not the one wriggling here.

Only you, you hypocrite.

Enjoy your day out.

Just catching up on all this and again Sluffy is driving away posters, this site won't last much longer if Boncey doesn't come back.

Hope you constantly having to be right and have the last word is worth ruining a good forum Sluffy?

It's no surprise to me that you think I'm in the wrong...

Bonce is a grown man is he not.

I saw it as he tried to lay some sort of an emotional guilt trip on me but he didn't know that I'd already personally gone through that mangle myself - so I told him so.

If he wants to be offended by that, up sticks and move on, then that's up to him.

I'm sure he heard far worse over the years and in real life, face to face and not from some random bloke on social media.

I would be more than delighted for us to have a happy thriving forum but we have to make do with what we've got and that includes TROY who clearly contrives endless arguments for his own amusement and one of your besties on here Wanderlust who would rather die than be seen to be wrong about anything.

Now as I can't argue with myself, why is it that in your eyes I'M the 'problem' and the other two can do no wrong?

Maybe, just maybe if people - specifically yourself - had had a quiet word with Wanderlust to pack it inn, stop winding me up, or tell him to own up to being Hoppy510, (which you know him to be), a year or two ago, then perhaps we would not have had to endure half this shit that has helped ruin the site?

I'm more than happy to pipe down if these two cranks decided to pack it in and behaved like normal people do.

I can't see that happening though, one gets too much pleasure from doing what he does and the other clearly has issues if he needs to tell lies on social media.

However we never know unless we try do we?

No doubt you'll manage to totally misconstrue this post and continue to lay the blame for all that's wrong with the forum/country/world/universe at my door as per usual.

At least I've tried though.

You've tried to deflect as usual by blaming TROY and Lusty but i expect nothing less from you these days.

You have definitely changed in the last couple of years and trust me it is not in a good way.

Yes, I've seen it and I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your friend.

Life is too short I agree and to waste it by spending hours and hours of it on here to contrive pointless arguments with me, or to cover your arse by lying to pretend you didn't say something when we all know you did is utterly pathetic.

Even worse would be spending it as a fake account trolling me... Rolling Eyes

Rolling Eyes

Point being this is the internet, it is not real life - although clearly a few on here really think it is...

RIP Norpig's mate.

Ha, brilliant that Lusty but is it supposed to be a denigration of Boris or an advertisement of the success he’s had despite all the indiscretions?

I'm sure this won't make it to the headlines at the moment, but just another example of the utter stupidity of these people:

Thought this was very poignant.

A retired GP says he has been "humbled" by the response to a social media post on why he broke Covid rules to hug a bereaved woman at a vaccine clinic.

Dr Prit Buttar's Twitter thread has generated hundreds of responses and thousands of likes and retweets.

He said he had been prompted to post by the political row surrounding gatherings at 10 Downing Street.

Dr Buttar said that showed a "huge disconnection" from the lives of ordinary people.

He retired to near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway in 2016 but worked part-time in practices across the region until 2019.

However, he volunteered to assist - helping to set up local Covid hubs - when the coronavirus pandemic began a year later.

Of course, I replied, that’s fine.

She was a woman in her late 60s. She came in and apologised profusely for wasting the appointment, ignoring my reassurances that someone else had probably used the slot, and in the great scheme of things it didn’t amount to much. 2/8
— Prit Buttar (@Dienekes_) January 14, 2022

... just over a year before, on the eve of Covid. Her husband was almost immediately diagnosed with cancer, and he had died a week before she came to the vaccination clinic. Her only son lived in England and his wife had just been diagnosed with Covid ... 4/8
— Prit Buttar (@Dienekes_) January 14, 2022

So she had dealt with his death and funeral arrangements alone, and had completely forgotten about her vaccination appointment. ‘I’m so sorry,’ she repeated.

So I decided to break the rules about social distancing. I leaned forward in my chair and put my arms around her. 6/8
— Prit Buttar (@Dienekes_) January 14, 2022

They endured loss and heartbreak and loneliness with stoicism and resignation. After all, we were all in it together, weren’t we?

And meanwhile, others in the highest positions of government behaved as if the rules didn’t apply to them. 8/8

Cummings continuing to put the boot in!

16:36
PM knew he was at a drinks party, says Cummings
The prime minister's former chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, says a "drinking culture" did not exist in May 2020, when Boris Johnson attended a party at Downing Street, and those talking about it are "useful idiots" for spin doctors.

Using his analogy for the prime minister - a shopping trolley veering from one side to another - Cummings says that, contrary to his claims, the prime minister "knew he was at a drinks party cos he was told it was a drinks party and it was actually a drinks party".

Cummings left Downing Street in November 2020 after internal battles over his role.

If youre babbling about 'drinking culture' - which did not exist May 2020 & would anyway be irrelevant to the fact that *the knew he was at a drinks party cos he was told it was a drinks party and it was actually a drinks party* - you're a useful idiot for the spin doctors

Obviously a work 'gathering' why else ask people to Bring Your Own Biros'?

Joking apart this below is the reason for my post -

Lords watchdog launches inquiry into Michelle Mone over ‘VIP lane’ contract

The House of Lords commissioner for standards has launched an investigation into the Conservative peer Michelle Mone, relating to the PPE company awarded £203m government contracts via the “VIP lane” after she referred it to the Cabinet Office in May 2020.

The investigation follows a complaint by the Labour peer George Foulkes on 6 January, after the Guardian reported that leaked files appear to suggest Lady Mone and her husband, the Isle of Man-based financier Douglas Barrowman, were secretly involved in the company, PPE Medpro.

Foulkes asked the commissioners to investigate whether Mone may have breached the Lords code of conduct by failing to declare an interest in the company, and by lobbying for it to be awarded government contracts.

The commissioner confirmed that the investigation would be for “alleged involvement in procuring contracts for PPE Medpro, leading to potential breaches” of three provisions of the Lords code, which cover the requirement that peers publicly register “all relevant interests”, and prohibit them from lobbying for a company or a person in which a peer “has a financial interest”.

The commissioner also stated that Mone would be investigated under the more general provisions of the code’s paragraph 9, which includes that peers “should always act on their personal honour”; must never accept “any financial inducement as an incentive or reward for exercising parliamentary influence”; and “must not seek to profit from membership of the house by accepting or agreeing to accept payment or other incentive or reward in return for providing parliamentary advice or services.”

Mone, appointed a Conservative peer by David Cameron in 2015 after selling an 80% stake in her Ultimo lingerie company, has consistently denied any “role or function” in the company, and her lawyers have said she is “not connected to PPE Medpro in any capacity”.

The possible sanctions for a peer found to have breached the code of conduct, which are determined by the conduct committee, range from merely having to correct a breach, to the most serious penalty of expulsion from the Lords.

Full article here but the bit I've missed off is just the background details leading up to this inquiry.
