Sky News host James Macpherson has reacted to the 'dope of the day' – a UK cop who has been found guilty of 'gross misconduct' and banned for life from working in law enforcement after he faked hours of work.
'The police decided to do an audit of keystrokes for all those officers working from home, and what they found was ... his activity was significantly higher than all of his colleagues,' he said.
'So, they investigated, and they found what he had done is opened a blank Word document and then used a weight to depress the character Z, and he would do this for four to five hours every day to make it look like he was working.
'In fact, over the space of four months, he did this for 103 hours.'
