'If I broke into your house and was there for less than 25 minutes have I been in your house?'
Yes, yes you would have been in my house. However if I worked with you and you came outside into a communal area to have a sandwich that would be work colleagues eating at work. Not having a 'party'.
During this time I was wfh. My school colleagues were mainly in school.
Due to my role I needed to support a member of staff struggling with a tech issue.
She called at my home. We sat in the garden - opposite ends of a large garden table, 2m apart.
She stayed less than half an hour.
I offered a cup of tea but she didn't want one. I didn't offer alcohol or food. We weren't stood around in close groups - there was two of us. Dh stayed indoors, as did mil (who lived with us through the lockdown) and Dd. We don't sit close together. We weren't wandering around, glass in hand, chatting about other stuff in close proximity .
It was very much a brief meeting about work, albeit it at my home - it was safer there outdoors rather than in school, as I'm vulnerable.
There could have been no mistaking it as a party, social event, get together or anything other than a work meeting.
At that point the staff in school weren't even allowed to sit at opposite side of the staff room from one another. They had to sit and eat their lunch in their classrooms on their own, with their bubbles. They could use the staff room to store lunch and milk in the fridge and make a drink, but after use they had to wipe it down and leave immediately. All work meetings were being done via online meets, despite most staff being in the same building albeit different rooms. Going into the playground at 4pm with a glass of wine and nibbles, in close together groups, wasn't permitted.
We knew that. Boris knew that.
He's either lying, ignorant or stupid.
None of those options make him fit for his job.
