exactly. so many people got ill in downing street. why on earth didn't they learn from that? how irresponsible. you mention the security guard, i think it adds to that sense that these are rules for the little people, the rest of us to follow. and that's why the security guard cuts through because you think you're somebody being brave and standing up and try to do the right thing and all of the whistle—blowers who have spoken on panorama tonight as well. and all of the people who spoke it up, they acknowledge that something very wrong has gone on here. of course i know plenty of people would like us to shut up about the story but the point being, if you set the rules you have to spit to the act stick by them. in such a basic premise of government. that's our people are so frustrated about this. �* ., ., ., , about this. before we go on i 'ust want to go — about this. before we go on i 'ust want to go back i about this. before we go on i 'ust want to go back to i about this. before we go on i 'ust want to go back to rob �* about this. before we go on i 'ust want to go back to rob on i about this. before we go on ijust want to go back to rob on that. l about this. before we go on ijust i want to go back to rob on that. that point about not following the rules. that's got nothing to do with party
