None of which addresses the actual issue. This is desperate stuff.
Just admit it - you went out on a limb defending Bozzer and he’s let you down. He’s been caught in a piece of sickening hypocrisy which everyone who had to forego a visit to a loved one’s death bed, or cancel a wedding, or hold a funeral without mourners, will find extremely hard to forgive. And all you seem to be worried about is being wrong on the internet.

Oh, do come off it, Chris. I am merely pointing out that there are degrees of wrongdoing, and this is pretty borderline.
And I haven’t been thinking about this all afternoon. I don’t spend all day on this forum, I do have other things to do in my life.
If that incident was a blatant full-blown party, I would agree that this was a more serious issue, but looking at what actually happened, that puts the matter into proportion.
Those who are out to get him will kick up a huge fuss. But, sorry; it is rather pathetic.

Deflect, deflect, deflect … Hugh gets your faux moralising, I get your faux outrage. Sorry but it won’t wash.
I repeat: this is nothing to do with where this sits on the standard scale of fixed penalty offences. It’s to do with his moral authority to lead at a time of crisis. Unless and until you can adequately answer in those terms, all of this is just hot air from someone who has a very hard time admitting they could ever be wrong about anything.
