 I think that’s all he has to prove. It wasn’t a party, it was working time out in the fresh air rather than cooped up in the office.
 
What’s safer - working inside or working outside?

 It wasn’t a work meeting, it was people meeting after work to socialise, relax, and have drinks.

 It's too late for technicalities, Old Boy. 
 
Perceptions count and the public and his Party have found him guilty and want his head.

 I know, and that's the reason he'll probably not get out of this but I wouldn't criticise as that would make me a hypocrite.
 
Along, I'm sure, with millions of others that also ignored the rules that are currently putting the boot in.

			Send him packing immediately! 
The fact he dismissed the idea of telling the truth for so long shows how much he contemplates lying to us all.
 
This is not how a leader of a country should be.

 I'm sure the majority of the UK did follow the rules, and have the ability to rightly outraged that those in charge didn't.

 Indeed. My work had literally everyone they could working from home including lots of people that previously didn't have the option.
 https://www.virginmedia.com/corporat...work-from-home
All office gatherings were banned unless it was essential and a 40+ meeting would not have met that criteria. Anything that needed a 40+ attendance would have been a video conference.
