Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Nypost.com: “Boris Johnson ‘sorry’ as ‘Partygate’ report details drunken parties”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Boris Johnson issued a half-hearted apology after a highly-anticipated report into “partygate” released Wednesday detailed COVID-19 rule-breaking and excessive drinking.
The so-called “partygate” scandal refers to the 16 illegal social gatherings Johnson and his Conservative Party attended during lockdown when the same government put social distancing measures in place.
Senior civil servant Sue Gray, who oversees ethics inquiries for the British government, investigated the social gatherings which took place throughout a 20-month period of lockdown stages in England.
She released the lengthy report on Wednesday, which housed some bombshell findings of alcohol-fueled parties.
“Against the backdrop of the pandemic, when the Government was asking citizens to accept far-reaching restrictions on their lives, some of the behavior surrounding these gatherings is difficult to justify,” Gray says in the report.
The door of 10 Downing Street is one of the great symbols of British democracy.

A democracy which relies on the principles of honesty and integrity.
Its current inhabitant has failed to uphold these principles.
Boris Johnson must go.
