Of all the chat up lines I've heard, that is pretty rubbish mate. You'll be asking her if she comes here often next

Or what are the directions to The British Library...

You are starting a lot of threads lately. Been laid-off? Did boyfriend dump you? Prison?

Due to the Covid situation I have more time to post drivel.

The vaccine can't come soon enough...

He's already been in court for those hence never answering the question "How many children do you have?"

It's too specific question for the pathological liar.

[SueEllen]

Yes he will be going for sure - divorce, super injunction etc...

Given the circumstances, using the first people he could get hold of for PPE deals was most sensible thing to do.

It's been a while since we've had a 'not in the public's interest' reason for dropping an investigation into dodgy people. Maybe we'll get two in the next year for Trump and Bozo.

For sure neither will be doing any jail time. Worst case, they delay/drag out any legalities until the perp is in the ground. See also the case against Prince Andrew...

Jail is for the plebs.

Boris is a fool and a charlatan, but he isn't going to court any time soon.

Former US presidents are never taken to court simply because all US presidents indulge in the same amount of corruption, bribery and influencing.
Similar can be said about UK prime ministers. Nobody will take BJ to court for paying his chums millions for brokering PPE deals.

Perhaps if you understood the situation at the time those deals were agreed, you might realise exactly why it was done as it was. There is a difference between criminal behaviour and incompetence, just as there is between the PM and the Civil Servants who agreed the deals.

Pence could only pardon him for things he is convicted of.

That's totally not true - AFAIK Nixon got pardon for any crimes (!) during his time in office.

It's a good way of doing it - covers everything and avoids putting any juicy details, however we'll see if Pence dares to also pardon anything Trump did BEFORE getting elected, seems very likely since Trump got lots of exposure and Pence's career will be in the toilet anyway, so why not.

Would be funny if Pence refuses to pardon him, so Trump would have to pardon himself, I'll lose 250 quid but it will be by far the most enjoyable outcome since there is no way such self-pardon (for him and his family) will stand even in fixed US Supreme Court

Trump will get pardoned by 46th US President - Pence, I’ve got 250 quid riding on it...

Pence is going to be his cell buddy but will be changing his name to Bubba

Pence could only pardon him for things he is convicted of. If charges aren't brought until after Bidens inauguration Pence won't be in a position to pardon anyone anyway. Trial and conviction would be years away.
