When it's a choice between no leadership and being led by Johnson, no leadership wins every time. .

I can't be sure, but I believe the answer is yes since they are public cycle routes defined by the Countryside Act 1968. British Waterways also make the law for the canal network so they may have something to say on this subject on canal towpaths. I rather doubt that extends to such detail...

By favouring and so extensively using PFI in the way Blair did, he left the Tories clear to use it without fear of a valid Labour attack. Before Blair's huge NHS PPP program the Tories wouldn't have dared such extensive use of PFI in the NHS, since they were so idealogically exposed to...

But Major hardly used it. It was Blair who renamed it PPP and enthusiastically used it extensively long before Cameron, That's one of my problems with Blair, he effectively licenced the Tories to do as they please with his pseudo Tory policies, by giving them an alibi against Labour. Quote...

Not for me, maybe ok for middle of the roaders. Both were useless on the economy, Blair by passing debt to the future and Major for leading us into a second very deep recession in 1991 which took years to climb out of. .

You're leaving out the debt transferred to the future via PFI. That's where many of Blair's improvements came from, not paying for them at the time. Blair was just like the majority of the public, living on credit cards with ever growing ignored balances. I'm not arguing about Johnsons even...

Or like me and 99.9% of the world's cyclists, never hitting their head during a lifetime of cycling. Simply by the expedient of cycling at a sensible speeds best suited to cycling, centred around 10mph for most. .

By bankrupting us in two ways, continuous living on borrowing and passing infrastructure costs to future generations through the private sector via such failures as Carillion. Indeed for those with no brains and very short memories. .

The Downing Street party subject is dead, Boris has changed the subject. Now it's the very popular with the public subject of enforcing stricter drug laws. Won't do any good of course, but that isn't the point. .

Worse still is that he is inaccurate about the current law in Georgia, with a deliberate intention to mislead by this helmet wearing advocate promoting his agenda. .

Until challenged in the courts, as I said, then often overturned due to the orders breaching existing law. It's very clear that many of the covid ministerial orders were unlawful and cannot stand. .

That is not the law. Most of the trouble and misunderstandings have resulted from ministerial utterings. When ministerial orders have been subjected to examination by the courts they are frequently overturned, law simply can't be made up on the hoof without reference to parliament as Hancock...

As you've shown, they are not at all similar. .

I think everybody should cool down on this issue since it is not at all clear that any law has been broken. Such as I've seen indicates no law was broken. It was apparently a staff party. As such all Downing Street staff, Johnson and cabinet members could attend. So could any civil...

He is wrong. The requirement in law for bicycles to have front and rear of pedal orange pedal reflectors and a red rear reflector is the same as that for lighting, only in force between sunset and sunrise. If the bike is only ridden in daylight they are not necessary. There is no law...

They aren't being sentenced, they aren't law enforcers like the police and the police clearly aren't interested in that possibility of a covid regulations breach. It's old history and there's a strong smell of witch hunting about this non-event staff party, going to any lengths to get them for...

The Americans kept airships in service long after WW2 on coastal patrol duties, but eventually finally gave up as more suitable planes became available. Climate change and the far more frequent occurrences of very powerful winds makes them a dead end now. It would be a repeat of our failed...

Since 1951 there's always been great concern in the country that there are too few able to run the government properly. .

Given how poor and inaccurate your opening post and the website you link to are, that is the last place anyone should go to. .

I have to agree with Zlatan that it's both long out of date and a non issue to boot. The reason it's a non issue is no doubt why the party was allowed in the first place: It was a Downing Street staff party. These are people who work closely together and with Johnson and other cabinet members...
