I knew he was always going to get away with it. An apology is nothing. I can’t even think of the words.“Does he think an apology is okay?

It doesn’t change anything that’s happened.“There’s no words – how can you break the law and do the things you are telling people not to do at the worst times of their lives and carry on leading the country?

It’s just not acceptable.“I saw people being interviewed on the news – the majority said he has to go, he’s now broken the law.“Then there were people being interviewed saying he’s made a mistake, we need to move on from that and I just think those are the people who haven’t lost anyone.
