Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke: “Boris Johnson has been proved to lie and nothing has happened”
29.03.2022 - 21:35 / nme.com
Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has criticised the lack of punishment given to Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the “partygate” scandal at Downing Street.Earlier this year, a report by Sue Gray revealed that 16 separate alleged gatherings were being investigated in Number 10. Gray later concluded that some of these events “should not have been allowed to take place.”She went on to say “too little thought” was given to public health concerns and confirmed that the Metropolitan Police was investigating 12 of these events, on eight separate dates for alleged coronavirus rule-breaking.That included the 20 May 2020 “bring your own booze” event in Downing Street’s garden and the PM’s birthday on June 19, 2020.She went onto say “there were failures of leadership and judgment by different parts of No 10 and the Cabinet Office at different times.”Speaking about the scandal to NME, Okereke has criticised the response and lack of culpability for the alleged events.“Boris has been proved to lie to Parliament and nothing has happened,” he told NME.
“They’re waiting, hoping that [partygate] is going to go away and because of the war it looks like the pressure is off him. But it hasn’t gone away.
It might not be dominating news cycles but it hasn’t gone away.“He’s gonna struggle meeting ordinary people in public. Someone’s gonna come up to him and say, ‘While you and your friends were partying in lockdown, my nan died’.
Everywhere he goes, someone is going to come up and tell him that. We mustn’t forget that.“How do you explain to your five-year-old child that the person who is in charge of us, our leader right now, is a liar and is continually lying and continually getting away with it? He’s not operating in a vacuum; it has consequences.
