Ha, all the 'it doesn't matter what Johnson was doing' posts broadly equate to 'I voted Conservative and fully intend to do so again, even if Boris orders the death of all first born sons'...

Agreed!!!! How anyone at all can justify their actions at all, never mind after reading some of the posts on this thread is absolutely beyond me.

As tempting as it is to think Johnson got away with it, he didn’t. He’s fine from a landslide election victory to an entire 6 months of shitty Tory polling, as well as cratering his own personal ratings. It’s been as disastrous as it could be for him short of being forced to resign. And his piss-poor non-apology tour today only made it worse.

Dropping my mum to hospital to have chemo alone as no one was allowed in with her. The same as when she was dying of her disease, alone for most of the 6 weeks before.

TeamFlood · 25/05/2022 18:41

Celebrating my daughter’s 15th birthday. At home. With a zoom party for her and her friends. Not seeing anybody else.

I have no idea, because it's not important, and I don't know anybody who cares in the slightest what the PM may have been doing. Such a tedious subject.....

We clearly mix in very different circles.

SleeplessInEngland · 25/05/2022 18:44

Imagine having such rock bottom expectations in political standards you don’t get why this all is a big deal.

Of course, most people on here pretending they don’t actually do. They understand it completely.

Mulhollandmagoo · 25/05/2022 18:46

@Tiredalwaystired I must mix in the same circles as you, as I don't know anyone who doesn't care about this.

SleeplessInEngland · 25/05/2022 18:46

Prime Minister, Boris Johnson should...

Resign: 59%
Remain: 30%

Not partying, that’s for sure.
my mum’s dementia worsened and she had to go into a care home during Covid, alone and frightened and none of us could visit.
i just don’t understand how anyone could support this lot, and yet they do.

HesterShaw1 · 25/05/2022 18:48

Thankfully I was at my boyfriend's house with him and his son. I say "thankfully" - how our worlds shrunk. During the spring lockdown I was forbidden to see anyone at all for weeks and weeks, like all the other people who live on their own and who weren't allowed to work.

liliainterfrutices · 25/05/2022 18:48

Am glad I mix with tireds sort of circles as opposed to those who couldn’t care less.

WatermelonSugarEye · 25/05/2022 18:50

I was working on a covid ward.
Not somewhere I'd ever want to revisit.
To everyone who lost someone, I am so sorry but we treated them as our own family, we really did.

Newbie20 · 25/05/2022 18:52

Probably took a walk to the woods with the children as our daily walk and dropped off a birthday present in a friends porch as it was their birthday that day

LpPp · 25/05/2022 18:57

I took the kids to my sisters for dinner, with my parents and my Nan.
No offence, but anyone that abided by those absolutely ridiculous rules that made no sense at all is a mug.
The NHS didn’t need protecting. Trust me, I work there… we were all sat around doing nothing all day (eating free food, drinking free coffee, reading free magazines) because all the clinics and visits were cancelled and ill people were left to rot.

PandorasMailbox · 25/05/2022 18:57

Recovering from a cancer operation.

feellikeanalien · 25/05/2022 19:03

At home with DD on our own wondering if we were going to be able to have Christmas with my sister or if we would be spending it totally on our own.

linsey2581 · 25/05/2022 19:03

Slogging my guts out on a covid ward. Holding dying patients hands and showing them comfort and kindness whilst there relatives had to stay away.

QueenoftheFarts · 25/05/2022 19:05

I was shielding. Because my husband is a paramedic and was working on the front line we reluctantly made the decision for me to leave the family home and stay in a house by myself. I was very ill, struggling to look after myself, my husband visited to the garden gate between hellish shifts.

So yeh. While the PM partied I was alone and my husband was working to the brink of a nervous breakdown.

Cunch of bunts the lot of them and especially the demented hamster at the helm.

When they said “the NHS needs protecting” do you think, just maybe, they were talking about critical care wards and not bog standard gp clinics?

‘Celebrating’ my mother’s birthday having just said goodbye to my sisters with whom I had travelled ‘illegally’ to attend my father’s socially distanced funeral. Crying while cancelling his coronary check up which arrived that day..

ThistleTits · 25/05/2022 19:20

@TeaAndChoccie
I was at home, desperately worried about my brother. He was alone in ICU, seriously ill with covid.

ThistleTits · 25/05/2022 19:22

I bloody care, as should you.
Not everyone is happy with a narcissistic dictator as our PM.

TackyTart1 · 25/05/2022 19:22

This was the day my friend died of covid. Alone in her flat and found by her son after no one heard from her. The absolute fucking morons who justify Johnsons actions should hang their heads in shame
