Tory MP says he did not mean to cause offence by suggesting they enjoyed ‘quiet drink’ at end of day

The Tory MP Michael Fabricant has apologised for suggesting many teachers and nurses enjoyed a “quiet drink” at the end of the day in staff rooms during lockdown.

I know one shouldn't judge on appearances but I find it hard to take what anyone who looks like that, says seriously.

He’s not sorry. Just looking to save his seat. Constituents need to step up.

Disgusting

Litchfield, you deserve so much better than this. Come on, folks!

I hope that’s a wig

He is not sorry, probably been told to tone his remarks down in view of the coming elections.

He hasn't withdrawn the statement , just offered the standard Tory apology , saying sorry if my comments ( which I implicitly am standing by ) caused ' offence '. The word ' offence ' is routinely ridiculed and attacked as a symbol of ' weak liberalism' .

He apologised but still says the few that did... He doesn't get it and he's not sorry, he's worried about the elections.

What is it with MPs? The more raggedy the hair, the dumber the drivel they spout? He’ll be next in line for PM though

He's a clown who should never be taken seriously nor hold an important office because he's the type guy who will put your lives at risk to earn him a £.

Love the hair

What the hell is on that guys head?

Sorry it backfired, you mean.

He and Boris are technically twins

How often, when we describe others, do we describe ourselves. On another topic, what is it with Tory politicians and hair too bad to be a wig?

Is that for real? Do you guys really have people with this hair at 80 in the UK? Tell me it’s a parody, a comedy sketch, Monty Python?

His not sorry it’s because he got push back 😡 what a bunch of self righteous people these Tories are and this is just the tip of the iceberg, there will be more to come

What an absolute gutter of an ‘apology’. Waiting now for the apology for the apology, or more likely it will get forgotten about by the media and he will remain a serving MP with questionable judgement.

Local elections coming up. VoteOutTories

He needs to be very much more sorry for very much more than just that...

That’s not an apology

Too late.

The simulation coders have been getting really lazy with the writing and graphics—it’s like copy-paste Boris Johnson with a ridiculously implausible name

Yeah. So, sorry, not sorry. What a back handed apology. As a nurse, I don’t accept it.

We live in a world where every1 is offended+shouts about it; but he is absolutely clueless. He has no idea what professionals in the public sector get up to during or after work. Using them to justify his own party’s parties was dumb: he is totally inept+still hasn’t said sorry

If a nurse had a drink in the staffroom, that nurse would be sacked. As would that teacher. In almost all places of work, consuming alcohol on the premises is gross misconduct. Can be sacked for having alcohol in the car at my place of work, these charlatans need to be gone!

Is ridiculous hair a Tory requirement?

That hair cannot be real

Michael Fabricant needs a new wig, I would love to walk up to him and steal the dam think 😂😂😂😂😂

GFY Mike_Fabricant

Fabricant is a sorrowful excuse for a public servant CorruptToriesOut

Johnson double

What a Pratt !

Holy hell what is that on his head?!

Such a long delayed apology is patently insincere.

Took him long enough.

And who doesn't?

something wrong with „his“ hair

'I apologise if I hurt some idiots' is not an apology.

Took him long enough. Arrogant and out of touch.

No he’s not!

Too late. He didn't even wear a mask to slip.

A fine non-apology from the sainted Fabricant (Piece Be Upon Him).

Not accepted!

Sad to watch uk run by clowns.

Again sorry he has been called out ……

Too little, too late

Mike_Fabricant should now resign…unquestionably

As with all tories, he's only sorry when he's publicly shamed. Privately, he couldn't care less, because tories have no morals.

“and I apologise if I have genuinely done so” - a typical Tory non-apology then.

Is that a wig?

There's a Tory with worse hair than Boris? Wow I thought Texas politicians were weird lookin...

He should blooming well resign!

Think before you speak. Something he clearly doesn’t understand!

No, he is not sorry.

Don’t get in a taxi with him

He should apologise for that fucking haircut

But the idea is out there now, and you can’t put it back in the box. As if teachers and health care professionals weren’t already treated like the enemy by certain sections of the media, this just helps lubricate that misrepresentation a little more. Thanks for nothing.

I think it just goes to show that most of the current government havnt a clue what happens outside their bubble. Just because they watch porn and get lashed during their work, does he seriously think other professions do that? I mean that was his point in that comment, wasn’t it?

Awful, awful man. Let's hope they vote him out in next GE

No he isn’t. It’s another “ if” non-apology

What are the chances Fabricant would have apologised if the elections were not 5 days away?

he isn't sorry of course but there's an election on

Dreadful little man. Shouldn't be an MP. Absolutely nothing about him suggests hes got any of the basic attributes I'd want or expect.

Just how much more can we take from this Tory government and their disgraceful MPs.

His name is from the word 'fabricate'

BorisJohnson finally bought a comb?

No he isn’t

Another sorry but not sorry from the Tory party

Almost two weeks later… 🙄

Michael Fabricant = Young hair on Old shoulders

Like hell he’s sorry. Only thing he’s sorry for is the way it blew up in his narcissistic face
