And the classics continue, just do a find and replace for Seph to Old Boy.....

I resemble that remark!

I think I’d rather wait for the explanation of the circumstances behind that photograph.

You don’t get context, do you?

"That photograph"?

There were several photographs!

I'm afraid that your hatred for Cummings may be causing you to forget a few things. Again, I urge you to follow your advice and wait for the report.

Well it's all going to plan..successfully kicked into the long grass.

I'm not so sure. As Old Boy previously said, let's wait for the report.

How come Cap'n Hindsight isn't being handed a fixed penalty fine?

I didn’t think you were a fan of Cummings either, Andrew.

Photo or photos, we still need to get the explanation for them.

I am the one asking people to reserve their final judgement until we know the result of the police investigation and we have the full Sue Gray report. Thanks for getting on board, though. Better late than never.

But I’m sure you knew that…

Or did you mean Johnson?

When I went into that garden just after six on May 20 2020, to thank groups of staff before going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working, I believed implicitly that this was a work event.

“With hindsight I should have sent everyone back inside. I should have found some other way to thank them.

“I should have recognised that even if it could be said technically to fall within the guidance, there are millions and millions of people who simply would not see it that way, people who have suffered terribly, people who were forbidden from meeting loved ones at all inside or outside, and to them and to this house I offer my heartfelt apologies.

Well, you see, it wasn’t a party or a social event. No it was a work event. Well, OK, not a work event, but a break for lunch…and yes, with a beer….and yes with work colleagues during an election campaign…

The police, it seems, agreed.

On that measure, Boris should be fine, don’t you think?

We must wait for the Sue Gray report.

That rule applies to us but not Old Boy. Reminds me of another set of rules.

Indeed, we must. ‘Nuff said.

Does the term "false equivalence" mean anything to you?

I can’t believe that you are inferring that OLD BOY would use exaggerated or oversimplified comparisons…
