Bunga Bunga: Liz Truss tells us to forget!

Partygate really is the gift that keeps on giving!

Downing Street has been forced to apologise to Buckingham Palace following reports of two No 10 parties held on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral – but officials will not say if Boris Johnson knew about them.

The PM’s spokesman is also refusing to clarify whether it was acknowledged to the Palace that the gatherings were “social events”, which would have been in breach of Covid rules at the time. It is understood the apology was made by a government official, in a telephone call – rather than in a conversation involving Mr Johnson.

It came less than two hours after Liz Truss [my link] suggested Britons should “move on” from so-called partygate.

Asked about the latest allegations, Ms Truss, the foreign secretary, said Mr Johnson had apologised for his actions and insisted the public should “look at the overall position we’re in as a country”, citing Brexit and Covid recovery as the PM’s real legacy. “I think we now need to move on ... and, of course, wait for the results of the Sue Gray inquiry,” she told ITV News.

Indie.

    Maybe they should strip attendee's of their royal titles.

    So what "traditions" does the monarchy stand for? Family? Economy? Military Prowess? Ideals of Liberty?

      ...or merely the continuation of the monarchy.

      "I may be a slave and weak as well, but the gods are strong, and custom too which prevails o'er them, for by custom it is that we believe in them and set up bounds of right and wrong for our lives. Now if this principle, when referred to thee, is to be set at naught, and they are to escape punishment who murder guests or dare to plunder the temples of gods, then is all fairness in things human at an end." - Euripides, "Hecuba"

    Modern Monarchy is of course a form of the Old Monarchy but with a smiley face. Monarchy is what Marx defined as 'the Superstructure'.

      Defining sources of "authority" has always been a problem that creates new problems of its' own.
