I agree with an awful lot of what you post on here TB, I can't agree with you equating the above two scenarios.
I do agree that answers possibly/probably remain to be given in both instances, but the two don't hold equal weight or importance.
Regardless of the degree of weight or importance in my opinion it is completely justified to compare the two.
I believe that any suspicion of wrong doing deserves the same scrutiny and should be investigated with the same amount of vigour.
Why should one person be scrutinised more than any other, which is the case I am making. I agree that you could argue that the offences differ, however that is not the comparison I am making. The comparison I am making is that both instances deserve equal scrutiny and why should one be dropped whilst the other continue.
I disagree with your statement that the two don't hold equal weight or importance, surely that is dependant on the person. To some the administration of our club could seem more important than something that happened behind closed doors in No10.
To be quite candid, I would wager that most people have little interest in UK politics other than when a scandal hits the headlines, for most people the shenanigans will be forgotten about once the dust settles and the media move on to the next "scandal" in the Westminster bubble.
Personally I couldn't give a flying fig about what a bunch of hooray Henry's did during lockdown, there were many other lockdown breaches and as I have stated in previous posts I have little or no faith in those in power to behave in a manner that becomes their position.
I do however have concerns about the way the administration of our club was handled and the consequences it could have had on the Club, town and support.
To sum it up, there will be some that think that "partygate" is important to them, but there will also be those of us who are more concerned with a matter that had direct consequences on their everyday lives and not something that happened a long way away to people we will probably have no contact with and little chance of affecting the outcome.
