Which is why we don’t take the news at face value. We get information from as many sources as possible and make up our own opinion bearing in mind that we also look on things in a somewhat biased way. I’ve done all that and I still think the whole thing stinks.
Actually we are all governed by what the media, written or spoken tell us, apart from what we learn from someone’s occasional ‘the brother of my cousin’s next-door neighbour with whom we have been close for a long time, who works in the PM’s office told me’ as a source. News is always reported to reflect the views of the report source.
I don’t believe the Met are behaving in a manner which is either corrupt or complicit in this matter. This is what the media are doing their best to make us think. And I am paying attention, thank you.
Given that it’s Met police that seem to have turned a blind eye to whatever has been happening in Downing Street I feel that they should be investigated by an independent body. The whole thing stinks.
When the Met investigation was first announced, the BBC website had a sub-headline that said Sue Gray's report wouldn't be released until the Met had investigated. But within an hour, this sub-headline had vanished. I was going to mention it on here, but had nothing to back it up! So perhaps we won't find out what's in the report until the Met have looked into it.

Lots of us are worried that the PM thinks he can do what he likes, that he shows nothing but contempt for the electorate and that there is now a suggestion that the police are complicit and corrupt.
If you're not worried about that, you're not paying attention.
I'm also worried about the economy, the state of the NHS and international tensions in Ukraine. Telling me not to worry about any of these because there are other things to worry about is just gaslighting.
In the great scheme of things that worries me much more too nanna. Together with the fact that we have people unable to afford to hear their homes now, let alone after the price cap change in April, and families reliant on food banks.
It’s the police that have asked for publication of the report to be delayed, not the government hazel. We don’t elect them (except the police and crime commissioners of course). I really cannot get my knickers in a twist about this. I’m a patient person by nature. It doesn’t make me ‘bloody angry’.
Well, I am bloody angry at all this ! How dare those we elect think they are either above the law or that the populace is so damn stupid they will not see through the lies and blatant arrogance. I have lived through many less than able Governments but this lot leave me not only angry but so ashamed.
