[The Samaritan]

I'm waiting for Boris and see if he does the decent thing and resigns, Having said that, if he does, we'd only get another fool.

The government's former ethics chief has apologised for an "error of judgement" after being fined by the Met Police for going to a lockdown-breaking party in Westminster.

Helen MacNamara said she has paid the fine she was handed in connection with a leaving party held in the Cabinet Office on June 18 2020 to mark the departure of a private secretary.

She said: "I am sorry for the error of judgement I have shown. I have accepted and paid the fixed penalty notice."

I heard on the news today (BBC no less, must be true) that Boris wasn't there.

More fines are expected. Seems to be taking a long time and some will probably think the longer the better and dribs and drabs every few weeks or months even better.

The Grey report - well we can't really look at that.

"Partygate" exposed covid for the hoax that it was. Members of the government, privy to the best available information about current affairs, knew enough to attend a party and ignore mask and social distancing rules.

It was not a party it was a works meeting with beer and sandwiches

How bad is the Tory party when their own ethics chief ffs, has to apologise for breaking the rules.

Greedy grasping Tory scum.

Of course you can.

Fillyboy is happy there is a corrupt liar in power.

Fillyboy got conned by Brexit and is happy to support the liars in power

To be fair, in June 2020, I don't think too many people were still following the rules.

Possibly the people you know but not the people I know

You forgot to mention devious but that is more a feature of the party really. Boris may be too thick.

It was around here. Probably helped by the local shops having very wide pavements. Even elsewhere people distanced on more normal widths.
