I’m not offering any defence of those currently under scrutiny. If they’re stupid enough to make such ill judged comments in such circumstances they deserve to be sacked. They’re a disgrace.
Just puzzled that other messages apparently cannot be retrieved/recovered especially if what you say is correct as I believe it to be.
Mark Rutte, when he was Dutch PM, used an old Nokia 301 for communication. Max 20 texts so he was continually deleting. He didn't use whatsapp. He had a smart phone to keep up with the news but didn't use it for texts and didn't have whatsapp. Whenever he looked like being pushed into a corner, the texts had long gone and, whatever the subject matter was, he had no active memory of what had been said.
