It isn’t ridiculous, it is absolutely correct. Miles over the drink drive limit in charge of a powered vehicle. 
 

If anything, he’s got off lightly.  I can’t understand why you think it is ridiculous.

The news paper report states that he was given a roadside breath test, but the street is pedestrianised, so it would be a pathside breath test.

It wouldn’t. It would be an on path breath test.

 

Not that it makes any difference. He’s still a danger to the public and the police seem to

have done a good job.

If he drives a forklift truck, would he lose his job too?

For drink driving / being drunk in charge of a motorized vehicle ,  yes . Sorry  I thought you said " should " he lose his job .

My point is that he wouldnt lose his job, because driving a forklift is a different licence. Different vehicles have different licences.

Why is riding an electric scooter on the path the same licence as driving a car/HGV on a highway?

Because you are driving it on the highway. 
 

I don’t think I can make it any simpler for you.

I understand electric scooters are illegal, so does that mean anyone just using one would get their licence endorced for driving without insurance?
