I don't like the woman, but I'm confused about what the rule break was? Was the dinner breaking the restrictions, or is she actually getting taken off air for popping into a restaurant to use the loo?

(including her there were 10 at her dinner. A table of 6 and one of 4, allegedly)

Burley is understood to have blamed the situation on misunderstandings in planning and organising the event. But she did not address why a group of four people, including Rashid and former Sky News royal correspondent and Huawei PR executive Paul Harrison, returned to her home after the dinner, a claim that is not believed to be in dispute. Other Sky News staff are understood to be irritated by details of the event.

Under the tier 2 restrictions in London, indoor social gatherings of any kind are barred except among those who live together or have formed a support bubble. Groups of up to six can socialise outdoors. Police can impose fines of £200 for a first-time breach.

Under the rules, Burley’s initial gathering would only have been allowed if the two tables remained separate throughout and sat outside. It is not clear how many of the group went to the second venue, but Burley’s tweets suggested that the rules were broken during this part of the evening. A group of four gathering at her home would be against the rules unless they remained outside throughout.

The hypocrisy of these so-called journalists knows no bounds - quick enough to dump on anyone outside of their chummy little clique, but quite another when one of their own is in the spotlight.

Not just the journalist. There is a agreement not to talk about the private lives of the proprietors in each others papers. So, no paper ever mentioned that the previous Lord Rothermere left his wife (who had a mental breakdown) for another woman, or Murdochs marriage breakdowns, Barclay brothers tax arrangements etc.

Thank you for explaining, sorry I hadn’t seen what she’d done!
 
I was surprised ( or maybe not considering this is Kay Burley) that she hasn't apologised for the embarrassment she's caused to her employer and fellow journalists. I understand that 'irritated' is nowhere near strong enough for the reaction of other Sky journalists and I also remember Angus Drayton getting sacked from Have I Got News For You, when he became the story. Surely her position is untenable.

She's hideous and always has been. I have long wondered about her apparent "untouchable" status. There are several incidents I feel she crossed a line and should have been sacked, suspended or at least warned.

I think I must be the only person on this planet who likes her. I really do and did like her on that programme when she went on the run.

I used to like her too, but this selfish act is unforgivable. Knowing that she was breaking the law (as she'd have put it to anyone else), knowing there may have been a risk of picking up Covid, knowing that she should have reported from inside Coventry hospital capturing the first vaccines being administered, her actions were totally irresponsible.
 
Was this incident reported on other TV news channels, such as the BBC and ITV?

If not, then it only confirms the "closed shop" and "protect one of your own" policy that goes on within media circles.

But I would like the think rival news shows did mention this, not least for the schadenfreude ;)
 
I'm highly amused by kaygate 😆 imagine spending months going on like a rabid dog that other people should be sacked for not following the rules and then not following the rules yourself 🤣

Same and I just saw Beth Rigby was there too. She's a right sanctimonious baggage so this news has made my Thursday! :LOL:
 
Her and Beth going would be something good for 2020! Sky are still calling it the Kay burley show even though she won't be on it for the rest of the year 😆

Kay still refuses to accept she broke the rules with mixing indoors and instead says it was a minor mishap with needing the loo. Pathetic.

Probably the only time she'll be referenced with Rita bora

Unfortunately for all the partygoers, the whole Rita Ora-style affair was illegal under London’s Tier 2 restrictions.
