Gillian Keegan’s public apology is meaningless

British Education Secretary Gillian Keegan yesterday used an expletive and a vulgar word at the end of an interview when she thought she was off air but the microphone had been left switched on.

The clip was later aired minus the expletive. She subsequently apologised. 

Such an apology is meaningless and indeed it helps make words meaningless. Had her mic been turned off would she have apologised? Not at all.

What’s even more annoying is to watch these Tory posh politicians with their fine accents for public use but in private using the language of the gutter.

What do they believe, for what do they stand? Everything and nothing.
