ANGELFIRE1   10 #1 Posted April 21, 2019 Should someone in reasonably high office who may one day be part of the Government be punished for drinking alcohol on Public Transport, where it has been deemed illegal to do so.  I would say yes, pay the fine and eat humble pie. We are all equal in the eyes of the law, aren't we.  Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #2 Posted April 21, 2019 Just to clarify, it’s not actually illegal - it’s just banned by TFL policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

She wasn't nicked at the time so put it to bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Car Boot   10 #9 Posted April 21, 2019 I think Diane has apologised for breaking the rules.  Who here would really begrudge somebody having a small drink after a long and stressful day at work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Exactly, and if she stayed off the drink she might start getting her numbers right. Makes you wonder if she does have a drink problem really, she keeps getting tongue tied. I had a relative like this and when I look back he was pretty much the same, he'd stop speaking halfway during a sentence where it was obvious he'd lost track of what he was speaking about.

Come on people, focus on what's important , which is ultimately her incompetence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
