It's stopping the Sue Gray report being published, so essentially the Met is acting to protect the Prime Minister. Great country.

Someone robs your car and you have it on CCTV, "sorry we can't do anything"
I remember the spectator doing an article claiming Downing Street (Crown Lands or whatever) is exempt from public health restrictions and so nothing illegal happened. So that could be how the story peters out. Did have parties, didn't break the law, let's all move on etc etc
He could ride that out surely.
I'm trying to think like a former co-worker who did nothing but read Guido Fawkes all day here.

DETROIT – Michigan Judge Alexis Krot has apologized to an elderly cancer patient she berated and threatened with jail time over some unkempt weeds outside his home. And she said she's reporting herself to a state commission that probes judicial misbehavior.
Burhan Chowdhury, 72, appeared along with his son for the Jan. 10 hearing on a ticket issued in August over some overgrowth of grass in an area outside his home in Hamtramck.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," Krot told Chowdhury during the hearing in comments that were later posted on Facebook. "If I could give you jail time on this, I would."
Despite his pleas, Krot said she would fine him $100: "Did you see that photo? That is shameful, shameful. The neighbors should not have to look at that."'Murica. A judge's actions only Fender would approve of.
I love that we will just condemn the judge and not the entire fact that cities are fining homeowners for overgrown weeds, like what the fuck man is that the best use of local municipalities time?
The grass was an eighth of an inch too high, what else could the judge even say? Her hands were tied.
At the time of the hearing, the grass had been mostly cleaned up too.
Judge even looks like you would expect. Straight up Karen.

Fender really out here believing Republicans won’t pull the same “it should be left up to the next President” and that Manchin and Sinema won’t side with them.

Manchin and Sinema won’t break from party lines here. If they do I’m quitting politics and voting
Having two Republican parties controlling the US is of course troubling but maybe there's a small chance Manchin and Sinema will...

By Laboured Go To PostDidn't realise SCJs don't actually have to be qualified lawyers. Lmao.I don't think any judges in the US have to be, either. It is an elected position.

Have fun reading.
Do you want to be a massage therapist in Helena, Montana? You’ll need 500 hours of study to receive your license first.
What about a barber at a shop in Billings? Get ready to spend 1,500 hours practicing your craft.
How about one of state’s justices of the peace, with the power to send defendants to jail for up to six months? You’re in luck—only a four-day certification course is necessary.
No law degree is required, either—only the approval of the voters in your county. While Montana’s rules are not the norm in America, they’re also not unheard of. Twenty-eight states require all judges presiding over misdemeanor cases to be lawyers, including large states like California and Florida. In 14 of the remaining 22 states, a defendant who receives a jail sentence from a non-lawyer judge has the right to seek a new trial before a lawyer-judge.
But Montana and seven other states—Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Wyoming—allow non-lawyer judges to hand down jail sentences for misdemeanors without the right to a new trial before a lawyer-judge. Some states, like Montana, only allow the practice in rural or sparsely populated counties, while others allow it statewide.
I mean this is why it's easy to just have partisan hacks continually enforcing ideology rather than the law.
