Why do some get away with it?

I don’t agree with Nicola Sturgeons politics. I would be very sad to see the United Kingdom broken.
I do, however, think that she has handled the Covid crisis better than most and must be feeling angry that she let herself down with the mask lapse.
I wouldn’t want to call for her resignation as she is doing a good job.
Leaders should practice what they preach but I hope her sincere apology is accepted.
I do think that the stupid MP who travelled on a public train knowing she had covid should be charged.
What do you think Pant?

You have just started one!

What's to say? - she apologised profusely, rather than making up implausible excuses (her eyesight is presumably fine!); and it appeared to be a slip-up of not putting her mask back on when she got up from sitting to standing. Far worse and premedicated "lapses" have been got away with.

Well we can start one Pantglas as others seem reluctant to do so ?
Why on earth did she take her mask off....it must have been a conscious decision.I was amused to see the tartan mask she wears has her embroidered initials on, just in case anyone forgets who she is? even the PM doesn’t go that far, or the Queen.

In view of Stephen Kinnock, Dominic Cummings, royal family et al misdeeds- how come no mention of Nicola Sturgeons recent ‘oh dear, I made a mistake, forgive me, cos I’m special’?

I did think there would be a discussion.....
