Secret Santa-Gate: Health Secretary Cancels All Media Interviews as the Prime Minister Faces Police Probe Over Downing Street Party

Sajid Javid today cancelled all his TV and radio interviews after a video emerged of Boris Johnson’s officials joking about a lockdown-busting Christmas party on December 22nd, 2020 when thousands were unable to visit or say goodbye to loved-ones and millions more obeyed the rules banning social gatherings. MailOnline has more about this burgeoning scandal.

Met Police detectives will consider launching an investigation over the leaked film showing the Prime Minister’s former press secretary Allegra Stratton giggling and laughing as she is asked about the event during a mock media conference.

This morning the Health Secretary pulled out of a round of key broadcast interviews to promote the booster campaign following the emergence of leaked footage showing Government aides joking about a festive gathering last year. BBC Breakfast took the extraordinary step of empty-chairing Mr Javid this morning as vaccines minister Maggie Throup also pulled out of her planned round of regional television interviews.

Downing Street is in crisis over the footage of Miss Stratton filmed last December 22nd – four days after the alleged ‘boozy’ party and when London was under strict Tier 3 coronavirus curbs. The revelation follows a week of tortured denials from No 10 over allegations that dozens of staff exchanged ‘secret Santa’ gifts and drank past midnight at an event said to have party games.

It came as new plans for Britons to work from home and for offices to be closed are being drawn up by the Government to curb a surge in Omicron variant case numbers over the festive period – but Tory MPs admitted the ‘indefensible’ and ‘catastrophic’ video could mean the public will resist or ignore more restrictions because of a lack of ‘moral authority’ in No 10.

Some backbenchers have even suggested that Boris Johnson’s could be forced to resign unless he ‘holds his hands up’ because of the video, which calls into question his insistence that all the rules had been followed at the time.

One said of Mr Johnson’s leadership: “I’m tired of it. He has to go. Clean sweep. It’s unsustainable.” Another said: “It confirms my suspicion of the sheer arrogance and hypocrisy of those orchestrating lockdown measures.”

Worth reading in full.

For lockdown sceptics, this scandal is manna from heaven because it makes it politically more difficult for the Government to impose a Christmas lockdown.

This really is just a distraction, bozo was only doing what lots of us did in ignoring the restrictions.
Is anybody surprised that he is shown, once again, to be a hypocritical lying toad?

So if the Tories force him out through sheer embarrassment what difference will it make to ongoing government policies about covid/Plan B Lockdown/ and allowing an ever growing number of ‘vaccines’ to be forced upon us?

Will either Patel or Javid ease things off a bit to gain MPs support? I dont think so.

It’s the old playbook. Boris is losing favour. They want to replace him with someone the people like more. And the best way to do that is to disgrace Boris, expose his “dirty deeds” (of which they all partook), and have the new guy be vehemently opposed to him. People will see him as a hero, coming to save them from a corrupt Tory government. But the new guy is going to be just the same as Boris, maybe worse. He will introduce even harsher restrictions and the people will comfort themselves by thinking “Well, at least he ain’t Boris.” And thus the cycle continues.

Watch how Sajid Javid becomes PM.

Absolutely. I had a nagging suspicion that something was amiss with Raab coming out against lockdowns in the last couple of days. I think the senses Boris Johnson is mortally wounded, and he’s positioning himself for a leadership contest. In the conservative ranks and membership, the mood is probably more against lockdown than for, hence his proclamations.

But once he’s in, he’ll just get the usual visit from whoever really runs the world, some Bill & Melinda Gates Organisation official or some Davos higher up and will inform him of the agenda he needs to follow.

They scare governments as it’s accepted they are a representative number of the population. The bigger the crowd, the more the unrest amongst the general public.

Governments are also well aware protests can turn ugly, and that can spell the end for a government or, at the very least, its leaders. The poll Tax riots are a case in point.

Riots are just that – burning cars and smashing bus stops. A proper, organised protest should seek only to remove those in power who are making these ridiculous rules & regulations, and replace them with persons who have common sense and are not corrupt to the core.
No need for violence – just peacefully march in and grab them. This includes all the owners of the PCR testing firms, and the importers and distributors of the LFT tests.

Why should Extinction Rebellion and IB get away with their brand of violence when no one else can? The Tottenham riots, BLM etc. all get their way eventually.

They have factors that they use to gauge sentiment. An email from one person represents the sentiments of 5, a letter from one equals the sentiments of 10, for example … what the factor used to multiply attendance at a protest is I don’t know, but it’s way higher than it is for a letter.

The Politicians own the police, they own the media, and they now own the vast majority of the population both body (the injection or your life) and soul (no injection, no mask, no place of worship for you).

I think people are in for a shock when they see that Vaxx Passes will be required to enter swimming pools, libraries, shops. The barrier at the entrance will not open by saying “Boris”, but it will open if you scan your valid Vaxx Pass.
Already happening here in Finland, the ‘unvaccinated’ being denied entry to swimming pools, and asked to quit their mother-&-baby clubs.

Of course people’s salaries/wages/income will be taxed, including those who have chosen not to be ‘vaccinated’. A discussion of taxes for societies is a long (and endless) and complicated discussion, so I’m not going down that philosophical path…
…one of the biggest crimes in all this is that, if people were suffering from ‘Covid’ (as we now see, they weren’t) then some extra money could have been pumped into the NHS/health services. A simple solution for the general health of the whole nation would have been getting Brits to eat better food. But, no, billions upon billions have been stolen from the public purse and put into face masks, vaccines, etc. and filling the pockets of the fat cats.
It wouldn’t have hurt to have made the care homes a bit nicer too – have a look at who owns these places and you’ll find a lot of slimy characters.

Protests need organised structures. They need front liners. They need crowds. They need action coordinators. They need detached observers looking at the big picture. They need observers to watch for Special Branch/MI5 infiltrators (who tend to stick out like a sore thumb). People watching out for orchestrated false flags eg mysterious attacks against random property with the perps surrounded by media photographers and cops just standing by. They need people to watch the police gathering points etc. Gather intelligence on them. Note licence plate numbers. Senior officer IDs etc.

Nope, that’s not the case – apart from where specific laws have an exception (stated in the act which creates the relevant law – there are a few, but it’s rare), it’s six months from the date of the offence. This always applies unless the act specifically states otherwise.

See https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/43/section/127

Summary offences can only be tried in a Magistrates Court – they cannot (other than in a small number of very specific cases) be dealt with by a Crown Court.

There is no such thing as a statute of limitations in the UK.

Every ‘crime’ is only such because it is either created by an Act of Parliament, or because it’s a centuries-old common law offence (of which there are few). The Covid ‘rules’ ARE a criminal matter as the act creating them defines them as criminal offences.

The fact that there is no statute of limitations is not relevant in this case – for either-way or indictable offeces it does mean that there is no time limit, but these are summary-only offences and for those charges have to be laid within six months of the offence.

See the link I provided above to the relevant legislation (note that the summary offences where this doesn’t apply – i.e. the act creating them specifically states this – are listed in the footnotes).

The ‘Conservative’ party overall has shot itself in the foot, they will be haemorrhaging support from around the country and the way back isn’t to make themselves more unpopular by threatening people again.

I doubt it. Old people in hospital for other things will catch Covid over the coming weeks, often without danger or even symptoms, and it will be reported as soaring hospitalisations, which most people imagine as taken to hospital in an ambulance barely able to breathe from Covid.

I am not sure it is mana from heaven for lockdown sceptics. For the first time in months, warty, rubber face in chief, Gove, has been mentioned in an article relating to his, and the bitch Dorries, support for vaccine passports. The media, beholden to their paymaster, have leaked this to try and get rid of Johnson and replace him with Gove, who will do their/ his bidding in locking down the country and introducing medical apartheid.

I agree. A few more people might wake up because of it, but many covidians will just disapprove and think that the PM should follow his own rules rather than realising they have been told a Big Lie.

A blood bath as far as I’m concerned. I won’t be letting them off the hook if anyone mentions anything about getting a jab, social distancing, mask wearing or anything else covid related.

It’s clear that this party would have been common knowledge in political and media circles for the best part of a year so the question is: why is this news coming out now? Two possibilities in my view: It has been leaked by the pro Great Reset people in the media with assistance from the likes of Gove and Cummings because Johnson isn’t pushing hard enough on vaccine mandates, lockdowns, passports etc. and they want him out and replaced with a more reliable globalist. It has been leaked by Johnson loyalists in an attempt to collapse the whole house of cards and make it obvious to even the most zealous COVIDian that the whole thing is a scam and the media and politicians have been laughing at us behind closed doors for 18 months while they all carried on as normal in private. I think 1. is the more likely option by far. However if the leakers think that there is a big demand in the population at large to get Johnson out and replace him with an even more zealous COVIDian I think they are hugely mistaken. The “Omicron” panic has been a huge error on their part, more… Read more »

Whilst I don’t adhere to the globalist conspiracy, I do think there is a concerted effort to remove Johnson and replace him with someone who will be more covidian (and pro Brussels). Johnson has been vindicated in his decision to open up (eventually) even if I, personally, think he should never have locked down in the first place. No coincidence that Ferguson is back on the scene as well.

Most definately option 1. What we see here is fiction. A fake story as per my post…

So we have Allegra Stratton rehearsing a news conference supposedly Dec 2020 in the Downing Street Briefing room that did not Exist until March 2021?

I think you’re right.
I’m not sure it’s going to work in the way they anticipate though. I think more and more people who have hitherto followed the government rules will see that video of Allegra Stratton laughing and think “that’s it, no more compliance from me”.
This, on top of the omicron nonsense, is a big turning point, I think.

Be very cautious on all claims. It’s called scientific scepticism. Some of the trash published since 2020 makes it even harder to separate truth from fiction.

Chris’s Martenson’s latest talk is worth watching and he is *very* cautious on what he publishes; he prefers to discuss the government’s or pharma’s own data (!)

For the deluded blue wall Tories surely the posh voices of derision will be ringing in their heads, as Johnson tries to con them again.I also think the idea of an Xmas lockdown is off the table for England but Sturgeon will bask in the sanctimonious grandstanding over Johnson while she presides over a woke green banana republic which has turned socialists like me into raging libertarians. I read Hayek and Marx with my economics at Uni and I never saw The Road to Serfdom through a seemingly benevolent public sector in league with big business and big science. Add to that mix big, bungling government looking to divert attention and producer- focused opportunist big unions and it’s clear what is happening.

It’s always the same with despotic regimes, psychopathic dictators and totalitarians. One rule for them and another for the plebs. I remember how the Soviet elite ensured that the managers and bureaucrats that kept them in power, the Nomenklatura (around 1.5 percent of the population), were a privileged class. While the prols were subjected to food rationing, including queuing for hours to get a stale loaf of bread, the Nomenklatura had their own special shops fully stocked with Western merchandise, their own hair salons paid for by the state and even their own holiday resorts. At one point they even had road traffic lanes dedicated solely to them. This Christmas party is but one manifestation of the dystopian political system we are sleepwalking into. Never say you weren’t warned.
