Time to draw a line under Partygate, Boris Johnson tells cabinet
Boris Johnson has promised to cut taxes and government waste after surviving an attempt by his own MPs to oust him.
The prime minister thanked ministers for their support in a confidence vote, which saw 41% of Tory MPs saying they had lost faith in him.
He urged them to "draw a line" under questions about his leadership and vowed a return to "fundamental" Tory economic policies.
To my mind, the most tedious aspect of modern media is how they endlessly boost certain issues as if aiming to bore everyone into weary acceptance. It's somewhat similar to a filibuster where the media go on and on and on about an issue as if to prevent more important ones from drifting to the front of the queue. Easy and cheap to do I suppose - copy and paste outrage.
Yet some time ago I reached a stage where I now approve of any pandemic rule breaking committed by Boris and co. At least we'd know they didn't actually believe their own experts. A step in the right direction I'd say. Now ditch the experts.

We need a Ditch the 'Experts' banner.
So did Boris really get the covids, or was it a bad case of 'experts', or put another way, propaganda?
Ditch the experts right after they Flush the Green Blob.
The best example is not Boris, who might well have thought himself immune after having had the virus; or might be forgiven for thinking he lived a charmed life. The best example is surely Neil Ferguson, who was an "expert" in mathematical modelling of diseases as well as in adultery with people he met online.
As the saying goes, you couldn't make it up.
James - good idea. Some kind of logo would be just the job.
Scrobs - I'm sure he caught a fairly bad dose of it, but was it still exaggerated? We can't be sure.
decnine - the Green Blob seems too big to fail now unless we hit the brick wall really hard one winter.
Sam - it still amazes me that Neil Ferguson appears to be professionally unharmed. Maybe he wasn't completely unaffected professionally, but nothing serious seems to have happened to him in that respect.
