Being drunk at work, or even just tipsy, in any other "work environment" would result in instant dismissal even in non lockdown times. Absolutely no excuse on so many levels but to then lie about it and deny it happened takes it to a whole new level indeed.It appears the PM believes any gathering with booze involving workmates, in a place they worked, was exempt from his lockdown rules.
No actual work was required, the mere fact that various people were employed in various departments was the only criteria.
So basically anyone could've had a piss up at work providing they pretended it wasn't a piss up.
Staggering how a grown man can spout such nonsense then expect people to shrug and think 'Yes he has a good point'![]()
