Boris accused of breaking the law again

[denso13]

Because that is what a reassessment is starting to conclude...

What reassessment?

The vaccine(s) were rushed out

Yes, rightly so.

there is no evidence as to how many more would have died without whatever one (or multiple ones) were taken.

They made a good stab at it, https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/237591/vaccinations-have-prevented-almost-20-million/

A couple of workers died of cancer, but were recorded as dying of covid despite cancer being the cause...

I don't believe you. But some do believe that doctors lie.

I think Covid is a bit like the Y2K bug. everyone spent millions fixing it and then complained that it was an over reaction.

Talking to a hospital porter anecdotally. Things were rammed until the vaccine came and then gradually we weren't so busy.

 

[SirGalahad]

everyone involved was focussing on the problem, not the opportunity.

Michelle Mone says hi and thanks for the VIP Lane and millions from covid contracts.

It would be hilarious if the reason was his own greed. But it doesn't look like that was the case. His state provided legal fees, I think, are just for the Privileges Committee inquiry. I believe, although the reporting is a bit confusing, that the Cabinet Office were checking his ministerial diary as part of the preparation for the COVID public inquiry.

I got this wrong. The £245K legal bill we have all heard about is indeed for his defence before the Privileges Committee. But I hadn't realised he is also being provided with other lawyers, hired by the Cabinet Office, to help him prepare for the COVID public inquiry and it is these lawyers who noticed the entries in the diary.

what was her role in the development and roll out of the AZ vaccine?

It appears that the corrupt former pm has said he "will no longer work with government-appointed lawyers for the Covid inquiry, after he was referred to the police over further potential rule breaches during the pandemic"

Will he pay back the amount paid out to cover up his lies?

I guess it's all up to the people who believe he actually got a legally approved financial loan without giving out favours in return!

Well she made a fortune in useless PPE...

Anyone heard where she is now or where her purloined millions are deposited?

Quite right - if they broke privilege. He should refer them to the professional body too.

Does privilege apply if he isn't the client? I am relying on my many years of watching American crime dramas, but doesn't it mean he is a less important party to the arrangement?

Would they be complicit if not following correct procedures, or trying to hide it

 

[motorbiking]

There is a general requirement to keep everything confidential. It is easier to state when confidence can be broken than when it can't.

A lawyer will not have a duty of confidence if they are being used by a client to perpetrate a fraud, and, by analogy, any other crime. The common law has long recognised that information of this nature cannot be confidential.

We also do not have much in the way of duty to report offences. Though they are creeping in.

Then there is the data protection element. Information collected for one purpose being used for another without consent.

Its quite unusual and probably not how the press reported it.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Define extremely unlikely here?

A much tinier number than the proportion of people who drink excessively, smoke, eat ridiculous amounts of food and generally beat their bodies into submission. Those who did die generally had "pre-existing conditions", in other words they almost killed themselves then covid happened to be the trigger that finished them off.

Just the lack of activity caused by the lockdown would have caused a reduction in our nation's already disgusting state of health. This alone will have a resulting death toll, but it will be spread over time and undectable so there won't be any screaming headlines about it.

Just look at the people waddling around any high street, they're all in various stages of mass suicide. Chuck in a respiratory disease, those who've already pushed themselves to the brink won't have the reserves to fight it.

Of course there were outlying freak cases of apparently fit, young and healthy people who died with (or even from) it, and the likes of the British Bullshit Corporation ran endless stories on them as part of the propaganda campaign to tell people that everyone was going to die. This was intentionally misleading utter nonsense, and they knew it when it was happening.

They were rammed - with people who were already old and extremely unwell before covid took them down.

These were the people the vaccines and lockdowns should have been targeted at. The rest didn't need it, or were capable of making their own decisions.

 

[gant]

Wonder what the figures were of those who were wrongly placed on ventilators that finished them off and got marked down as death by covid.

 

[blup]

Boris has apparently said he followed the rules at all times, so that's that then.
