Police said when officers spoke to Prof Whitty, he had not suffered any injuries and told them at the time that he did not wish to make any allegations.Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned the incident, along with several other MPs.
"They spoke to the victim and checked his welfare. He had not suffered any injuries and informed officers that at that time he did not wish to make any allegations. He then went on his way. Since the start of the coronavirus crisis, he has been front and centre of the UK's decision-making and communication of messages to the public.
If you have conditions which impair your judgement, you should think twice about going on controversial marches which could lead you into trouble.
He needs a prison sentence, apology or no apology. We cannot tolerate bullies.
He's only apologising because he got caught. Got what he deserved, he knew exactly what he was doing.
That was not an apology, that was a bunch of excuses with a conditional hypothetical sorry attached. Honestly, does no one do journalism in this country anymore?
Feck the apology prosecute and give the maximum sentance. Perhaps then a few more people might get the message that their type are not wanted in our society.
Regardless of what you think of him in a professional capacity, if you act like that towards somebody, you're a prick in my eyes. Would of been great if Witty was a secret ninja & kicked the shit out of him. 😂
They are bullies. He’s only apologising now because he’s been called out publicly and wants to minimise the consequences for himself.
Two words... Bell ends
Lock the waster up! Apology is not enough.
Apologises? 'I apologise.. for *any upset* I caused' What kind of apology is that?! How about 'I'm sorry for being rude and intimidating to Prof Whitty and deeply regret what I did.'
That's not an apology. Poor headline.
He hasn't apologised. The word apologised should be in quote marks.
Note to all bellends ,stop being a bellend
“Just wanted a selfie”. What utter nonsense.
They only wanted a selfie? Why didn’t they just politely ask Prof Whitty instead of accosting him in that way? The usual “sorry” that always follows once something gets out in the press 🙄
Why doesn’t he have security? I’ve seen 3 videos of him over the last 18 months being harassed and verbally abused. It’s awful
I don’t think this is much of an apology at all: 'If I made [Prof Whitty] feel uncomfortable, which it does look like I did, then I am sorry to him for that,'
Given what happened to his father, casual random accostings must be terrifying for Professor Whitty.
A country is in peril when a Estate agent firm has a higher moral code than the PM of the UK
Why was he in an Antivax March then? He is clearly a danger and well done to the company. We need stronger actions against these people!
Any *apology* that contains *if* is merely an attempt to shift blame...
That’s not an apology. ‘Lad culture’ and ‘banter’ has a lot to answer for. It’s bullying and harassment and they should be prosecuted, if only to send a message to the rest of the ‘lads’. Most women know what this sort of harassment feels like. It’s starts with ‘Smile, love’
‘If I made him feel uncomfortable, which it does look like I did, then I am sorry to him for that’ Is that really an unreserved apology?
Getting customers in a headlock is a strange tactic to use when trying to close a sale. No wonder he lost his job.
Only apologising because he was caught red handed.
Sorry - “apology and case closed” must not become the norm following Hancockgate. These people should be charged and fined. Probably also true of Johnson and Hancock …..
Grinning idiot.
Guys only avin a laff. Looks like some sketch from 90s TV comedy series.
24? He’s a grown man, embarrassing
Not good enough
He'll soon be back smiling 🙄
nice
You cant manhandle someone, video it for all to see and expect no consequence. It looks like there'll be no prosecution so karma works in funny ways. Loosing his job is the consequence of his actions! Nobody male or female should be manhandled or intimidated like that!
