Sorry I can't agree with that. These were the people who made the rules , if anyone knew the ins and outs of the rules it was them, yet they CHOSE to ignore the rules they made. Surely someone there must have thought "This is NOT a good idea", it was inevitable that it would come out sometime, with that number of people involved. But the BIG thing is, how would you feel if you had a loved one who passed away on their own because you obeyed the rules and stayed away from the hospital but then saw about the 12 parties that have been found out so far, I would be f***ing fuming !!!!!
On top of that , he's lied to the house when he said on 8th Dec "There was no party" and that "He didn't attend any parties" , how can we EVER believe another word he says ?
You cannot defend the indefensible, if he had any integrity he would resign, but we know integrity is not high on his list of attributes.
It's this sort of outrage that I'm struggling to understand, to be honest. It's like saying "I don't like apples so you can't like bananas"; there's a logical disconnect there.
Of course people dying alone in a hospital is heartbreaking and my heart goes out to both them and their relatives who now have to live with the knowledge of how their loved ones died. But what's that got to do with some other people having a drink after work, in their place of work?
If the Downing Street bods decided they could visit their relatives in hospital when no one else could then I'd understand the outrage.
That would be one rule for them and one for the rest of us. Having a few drinks with people you've already spent all day with before leaving work would make miniscule difference to the spread of covid and have zero impact on those in hospital. Personally, I had a lovely time relaxing in my garden in the sunshine while I was on furlough - why not extend the righteous indignation to me? How dare you be enjoying yourself while people are dying alone in hospitals?
Boris lying about it is different matter, but it's hardly surprising as he's made a career out of it - fired for lying as a journalist (twice, if I'm not mistaken), proven as a liar during the Brexit campaign, numerous times as PM...
