I don't know why you keep going on about cake. The Met deemed this event a social one and with his wife and interior designer there, Johnson evidently agreed and paid the fine. And he's the rule-maker.
As a reminder, the birthday party was held in 2020 hence during far stricter lock down laws than Beergate.

Johnson evidently disagrees that the courts would have found differently as he paid the fine and didn't dispute it.
I'm disappointed you're adopting such a woke approach to Robert Peel's finest.

I wouldn't like to be the one explaining that one, because it's just so obviously wrong.

The hard call I was referencing was clearly around around alcohol consumption.

What's a reasonable amount of alcohol to be able to continue work? I would probably cap it at two beers but if it turned out to be three beers each would the police start to get that judgmental? It's a hard call!
