that some folk can say " he's said sorry, that's the end of it " HE BROKE THE LAW. Everyone in that garden did. He's denied there were ANY parties , he's denied attending any. Now he's had to admit those were all lies. Imagine muderers, rapists , shoplifters, etc thinking that saying sorry was " an end of it " He's " deceived Parliament " That's a resignation issue. And yet the blinkered and brainwashed still support him? Shame on them all.
But he didn't even apologise. It would be like a thief saying:
'Sorry that you thought I stole the item, but technically, it wasn't theft - it was a loan'.... then the police investigation finding out it was indeed a loan, where the return date wasn't specified, and the item hadn't been returned after 20 years. Technically a loan?
He turned the apology into telling everyone, who thought he was at a PARTY hosted in the gardens at No 10, that it was a work event. They were wrong, not him. How is that an apology? It worries me that the inquiry will actually find that it was technically a 'work event' and that No 10 had a record of holding work meetings in the open air to stop the spread of Covid.
Sentiments on this thread has really resonated, I can't really find any words to add further, I can only concur.
Doubt there's a household anywhere in the UK that hasn't been touched by the icy finger of Covid. Normally people forget what politicians have done, given a few months down the line, and many politicians bank on it. But I doubt this 'episode' will fade. It's been too personal for many.
I do have a worry about 'trial by media' though, I'd hate to think our biased media (whichever angle) could sway the general public into sacking the PM, however bad he's acted. Though saying that, I'm watching avidly to see how many and how quickly Sir Graham Brady receives MP's letters of 'no confidence' (not that he'll give a running count) - I feel this is the only way the Conservatives can redeem themselves. What other revelations will D Cummins provide? This issue is far from over for BJ.
All this was so avoidable by simply following 'the rules' they themselves set. How utterly stupid.
If the Tories don’t want trial by media they have a decision to make … because the sense of outrage in the country, across all sectors, is very strong. I can assure them that their usually dyed in the wool grassroots supporters across British agriculture are saying that this really is the last straw …

Or they can say a 'family member' has covid and not turn up to any awkward press events.

How fortuitous!
