I couldn't care less how many people Jeremy Corbyn has for dinner, but I am annoyed that he describes it as a "mistake".
The woman who got the train to the House of commons knowing she had covid also described it as a "mistake".
Mistakes are accidental. Or something that you thought was ok at the time but turned out not to be. Not something you decide to do and then dont have the balls to explain why.
you cant accidentally fall onto a two way train journey, or accidentally get stuck at a large dining table for goodness sake!.
Good point, Honey. It sounds a bit like the non-apology you often hear from people in the public eye: "I'm sorry if anyone was offended".
Whoever would have thought the supposedly humble Jeremy Corbyn would think the rules didn't apply to him. But perhaps it was more a case of him not knowing the rules and needing someone to explain them to him, like not knowing that an anti-Semitic poster was anti-Semitic.
