"However, the idea... was a mistake — there were good reasons for it but it could not be implemented well enough in this short time." She admitted: "This mistake is my mistake alone." " | |||

"A countries leader that admits they made a mistake, if only eh..
Type Boris apologises in google.
Is it a GoogleWhack? Or does it return no results whatsoever
Neither. It returns at least these:
PM Boris Johnson apologises for Islamophobia in Tory party.
Boris Johnson apologises for getting north-east England lockdown rules wrong.
Boris Johnson 'deeply sorry' as UK Covid death toll passes 100,000.
Boris Johnson apologises for 'misspeaking' about new rules.
Boris Johnson apologises for ‘rule of six’ gaffe.
Boris Johnson apologises for incorrect advice as UK records highest daily number of coronavirus cases.
I didn’t find any of those, it just showed a photo of a yeti
When you apologise for something..presumably
that means you are at fault?
Most definitely, according to some , Boris has made an awful lot of mistakes and Merkel has only made one "Funny how that Merkel beimg responsibilible claim was not followed up. | |||
