As for people being fined at the event Boris Johnson did attend, as far as he was concerned, it was a farewell speech. It’s what happens at work when someone leaves, so it was a work event.
If others were fined it’s because they stayed as it turned into more of a social event.

You don't have a link for your quote. Even if he said that before, his final quote "I have satisfied myself that the guidelines were followed at all times" is sufficient for my purposes.
If you think that table of booze did not suggest a party was imminent or in progress, I would have difficulty in trusting in your eyesight or common sense.
