I don't think the public are comparing not being able to visit loved ones in their final days with parties in the grounds of Downing St. That is being done by government apologists as a diversionary tactic and a means of excusing itself. The public as a whole are much more sincere than that.
Its only a guess but I think the outrage might stem from the fact that we were all subject to a lockdown that prevented us
socially from doing pretty much anything other than exercising for an hour a day and meeting one person at a time whilst Downing St were holding gatherings for groups of 50 with people encouraged to 'let off steam'.
That is not a practice people associate with working. Letting off steam with colleagues from work, wherever that takes place, is an entirely different concept.
We all saw footage of the police entering private premises and arresting people who had gathered to socialise and let off steam, yet we are expected to tolerate similar indiscretions by politicians and mandarins because they are somehow different?
