I would still say that minor fines for attending a party really is a bit like minor traffic offences, pay the fine and let it go. Ignorance isn't an excuse same as any other offence.

Organising a party with a bigger fine would be different, so those claiming unfairness because they were caught doing that and fined £1,000 and politco's only fined £50 is a non-starter.

What does need sorting is did any of them deliberately and intentionally lie. There is a difference between unintentionally telling a porky you believed to be true and misleading parliament or the nation.
