AIBU to believe that Boris was correct that he did not attend any party during lockdown?

I'm pretty sure that there was no party.

To be clear, I don't care what anecdotes you throw out - you're not going to convince me that the last 3 years have been worse than World War 2 no matter how nostalgic a few people are for their youth

it makes no difference whether you’re convinced or not. That’s those people’s lived experience. Who are you to argue with it or insist you know better? It’s the height of arrogance.

"You are pretty deranged in your attempts to discredit other opinions *sleepless and disrespectful to boot"

You've strongly implied the last 3 years have been worse than WW2. I'll leave it for other posters to decide who's deranged.

Well he's made the Tory Party unrecognisable by welcoming in the right wing nutters and frothers it used to keep at arms length so maybe he doesn't know what a party is.

"it makes no difference whether you’re convinced or not."

The poster was trying to convince me so yes, it does.

This would be a great time to change to serious trustworthy and capable PM instead of having to limp along with the useless wanky cunt faced liar we have in charge.

Absolutely. Shame the Tories don’t appear to be able to find one.

Not the experience of my parents who lived through WW2 - they felt it was a much more serious existential threat than the pandemic. There was gallows humour and jollity in WW2, but there was also extreme hunger, a lot of death and destruction and, contrary to the spin, bombed out houses were looted.

Your grandmother must have had a different war to many adults and in a different place. Both my parents spent the whole of the war in London, watching for air raids, pulling the dead and half dead out of bombed buildings, driving patients to hospital, and otherwise having an utterly bloody time. It is contemptuous and erroneous of you to compare the Covid outbreak and isolation to 7 years of war, no matter your grandmother's sole experience.

Of course Johnson has ensured that anyone who might represent viable opposition has been removed.

It wasn’t her grandmother’s sole experience @newnamethanks. There were a lot of that generation who remembered that six year period with at the very least mixed feelings. My parents certainly did.

Oh totally - they've devalued politics to the point that no-one cares and 'they're all as bad as each other' and it's job done for them.

If she believes that I wouldn't rely on her to tell me the day of the week.

Just a bloody good work event

Here, will yis stop slagging off people's grannies. There's no need.

Exactly. We didn’t all have the same experiences of the pandemic but apparently everyone must have experienced the war the same. And those who were actually there don’t know what they’re talking about because people who weren’t born until decades later know better.

There are some horrible people on here, rank posts. My grandmother lived in London and for the last part she went to the countryside. It wasn't all doom and gloom, and she grew up a very capable, resilient person with gratitude.

I agree

@JetTail
Photographs on the news of the twat at a party. No defence just none.

Genuinely is there really anyone that gives a toss? Nope. It is all drummed up from Dom and no, he won't care and won't resign. Move on folks or get some professional counselling, it is unhealthy to stew about such trivia for this long.

get some professional counselling

So how are you qualified to assess people's need for counselling?

@Swayingpalmtrees minimizing peoples sacrifices during the Covid lockdowns will ensure compliance for any Monkeypox restrictions goes through the floor. people know now WITHOUT DOUBT that they will get no thanks for it and that their sacrifices will be dismissed and minimised not only by the Government AND by some e of the blue tick NHS accounts on Twitter but by other members of the public too. The shorter answer is they will be told t shove it!!!

So how did he “drum up” and obtain photos of over a dozen events? How would that even be possible?

I give a toss.

Lockdowns affected my.kids, my mum, my family. And whilst they were being negatively impacted, BoJo was clapping for carers one minute, breaking his own laws the next.

He's a clown and he's in power because other clowns put him there.

no you’re alright…

i think people are allowed to say how cheesed off they are with this shit show of a government without some random pontificating about their need for counselling 😀

people can vent…thats pretty much the main point of mumsnet
