UK police to investigate Downing Street lockdown parties | News | DW | 25.01.2022

The London Metropolitan Police force on Tuesday said it would investigate a series of events held at Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Downing Street offices during strict coronavirus lockdowns.

The criminal probe follows allegations surrounding Downing Street parties that the police force had previously declined investigating.

Why are the police investigating now?

Cressida Dick, the head of the Metropolitan Police, revealed the decision had been taken partly as a result of information passed to police from a Cabinet Office inquiry being carried out by the UK Civil Service. The investigation had also been launched because of officers’ own assessments, Dick said.

“I can confirm that the Met is now investigating a number of events that took place at Downing Street and Whitehall in the last two years in relation to potential breaches of COVID-19 regulations,” Dick told a Greater London Assembly meeting.

Unqualified And Dangerous — Glenn Youngkin

He is dumb enough to burn all bridges to make core GOPDeathCult supporters happy

Filosofa's Word

Glenn Youngkin, the new governor of Virginia, took office on January 15th.  On that very day he signed 11 executive orders reversing mask and vaccine mandates, forbidding the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools where it was never taught to begin with and “other inherently divisive concepts” which has left school officials scratching their heads, wondering what might be considered “inherently divisive”.  Might that include the history of slavery and the Civil War, Reconstruction and Jim Crow, the civil rights movement and the protests of 2020 that followed the murder of George Floyd?  As columnist Eugene Robinson said, “If you teach Black history without bringing up any “divisive concepts,” you’re not teaching it at all.”

The anti-mask order itself has stirred a hornet’s nest of protest and the governor is being sued by no less than seven school boards in the state including Fairfax County Public…

You’d think after Trump…

Lolsys Library

After COVID, Rittenhouse, after George Floyd and BLM, more people would understand that you CAN’T change a bigots mind.

Doesn’t matter how polite you are, or how rude you are. You just can’t. There are just to many platforms, and powerful people with the resources to stop, but they choose not to get involved, or they just sit back and let it flourish.

It’s like that saying, you earn respect, it’s just not given to you. That’s how I choose to see bigots. If you choose to constantly spread lies, propaganda and misinformation about groups, and no one does anything to stop it. Me being “polite” wont change that, lol. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to be polite to these bigots. Now I have seen these people be polite to bigots, and what happens? Nothing, absolutely nothing. They don’t change their minds, they just use your own posts…
