Boris Johnson has received a lot of criticism regarding the management of the pandemic in Britain, and in addition, he has also been unpleasantly affected by the scandal known as Partygate. The former British Prime Minister has now announced this
It was considered an attack on a Dutch warehouse at the height of the Covid-19 epidemic.
He claims to have discussed plans with senior military officials in 2021 – which he details in his upcoming book, adapted from The Guardian You can see it already.
The export dispute at the time centered on the AstraZeneca vaccine, and Boris Johnson believed the UK was being treated poorly by the EU. The Prime Minister had plans to launch an attack on a warehouse in Leiden in 2021, the aim of which was to ensure people living in the British Isles also had access to vaccines as soon as possible.
According to Doug Chalmers, the British Deputy Chief of Staff, the plan was feasible, but he added that it would have been difficult to implement it without anyone noticing.
For this reason, the UK should have explained why it was taking military action against an allied country.
However, they did plan to send units across the English Channel in inflatable boats and then smuggle the vaccines onto the boats by truck, Boris Johnson claims. The former prime minister concluded in his book: “Of course I knew he was right, and I secretly agreed with what they all thought, but I didn’t want to say out loud that the whole thing was crazy.”
The British Prime Minister was also criticized in the Partygate case
Boris Johnson previously denied that he celebrated his 56th birthday with a big party in Downing Street during the pandemic. At the event on 19 June 2020, he claimed he had neither seen nor eaten cake, adding that it “never occurred to him” or his then-chancellor Rishi Sunak that the birthday gathering was “in any way against the rules”.
“The following actually happened that day. “I stood briefly in the Cabinet Room, where I hold meetings all day, while the Chancellor and selected members of staff wished me a happy birthday,” the former Prime Minister explained.
“I didn't see any cake. I didn't eat sleazy cake. If it had been a party it would have been the weakest event in the history of human celebration. I've just beaten Covid. I didn't sing. I didn't dance,” Boris Johnson confirmed.
The former Prime Minister is still coming to terms with the scandal known as Partygate, but he admitted that he made a series of mistakes regarding the measures taken during the management of the epidemic, but he does not know what could have been done better in this regard.
