In this day and age, being gay, bi, pan, transgender, ginger (!), is no longer an issue. As long as you can do the job you're employed to do, then who gives a fk!

I was “useless “ in a couple of jobs in my early days…..(I know - hard to believe )I should’ve claimed one of the above but my boyfriend wouldn’t let me.
B1tch.
Indeed, and for a private sector company, that might well be fine and part of the culture ( hard to imagine tbh) however completely unacceptable for someone spending your tax pounds!

Well both sides of the house seem to disagree about that. Unless Sir Kier's going to stop drinking in the office if elected?
Starmer says photo of him drinking in constituency office was ‘no breach of rules’
Sir Keir Starmer said ‘we were working in the office’ when asked about a picture showing him drinking beer with staff last year.

Please note, I am making no judgement as to whether the rules were broken, only on the acceptability or otherwise of drinking at work or indeed while working by those that would govern or seek to.....

Really interesting question. Where I work, drinking in the office is a disciplinary offense. Pretty standard fare in local authorities and 3rd sector organisations. Funny enough my sister used to work for the immigration service at Heathrow and many officers had a bottle of gin in their desk drawer. Maybe it's a civil service thing? That was thirty years ago right enough.
Huge issue for my office is whether staff should be allowed to bring their dogs to work. Honestly, doggate is proving to be a real pain!

A politician lying is nothing new, but Boris's contempt is a new low. So much so, that even a banker has the honour of doing the right thing and resigning after breaking UK COVID rules. He, or his employer, are not even British.

Does no one differentiate between an actual “party” and a couple of glasses of wine at a staff leaving-do? Typical media exaggeration. Labours claim of “industrial scale partying” shows just how out of touch with reality they really are. A couple of dozen people wearing suits and ties having a socially distanced glass of wine hardly amounts to ISP in my book!

Skewing the argument to address the drinking culture in Downing Street deflects from the real issue - which was knowingly breaking the Covid rules that were in place on each occasion. The fact that offenders wore suits and ties doesn't excuse them any more than a posh frock excuses a woman for attending a non-socially distanced engagement party.

To be honest, with a suitcase of wine and dancing to the early hours, it doesn’t sound like a quiet civilised socially distanced glass of wine, to me anyway, and I appreciate views will vary.
I guess, if you are making the rules and even appear to break them, you should expect a **** storm in the press. If the opposition didn’t make a song and dance then they wouldn’t be doing their job.

In my head? Yes!

A H-O is certainly not a beacon of integrity. A well-known philanderer with a chequered past. He broke Covid rules in various different countries which would have attracted his many haters to expose him and force his hand. No doubt his resignation will come with a multi-million £/$/€ severance payment!
Boris won’t resign whatever the outcome of the investigation. I believe his days are numbered, though. And rightly so.

True enough, he joined Lloyds and then went on the sick if my memory serves...
