What were you doing on November 13th 2020

[TeaAndChoccie]

while the PM was partying.....?

Odd how others are on here stating the exact opposite of you "experience".

Yes they meant the covid wards.
and the rest of the unwell (inpatient mental health, not a GP surgery) were literally left to rot. We sent severely mental health patients home to their untrained and inexperienced families to care for because covid was supposedly a bigger risk.
we sent patients with Alzheimer’s home to their families who had no idea how to care for them because care homes wouldn’t take them.
Suicide rates were sky high.
Domestic abuse rates were sky high.

The NHS could have been helping these people, protecting their families, reducing the suicides but we were ordered to clear the wards and sit around doing nothing as covid was so dangerous.

I was working from home and regularly being beaten shitless by my severely autistic grown up ‘child’ who couldn’t understand why ‘we’ had stopped them from doing the things they loved doing. I had to do meetings from my car and hide the bites and bruises from my colleagues.
For me, it’s not so much what Boris did but that he has lied over and over and obviously believes we are all stupid enough to believe him.

Packing up, getting ready to move house.

Recovering from a miscarriage - twins at 13 weeks. I’d had to face the hospital appointments alone and tell our loved ones over the phone.

You don't know anyone who cares in the slightest what the P.M. was doing?
It's not important what the leader of this country was doing during a pandemic?
Really? You don't mind if he was leading the country with integrity and compassion, or if he was breaking the rules he set? Integrity or being a loud, drunken, attention seeking meringue? Really...you know NOBODY who cares?
Perhaps you should check?

There are questions to answer about whether the nhs could have used its capacity more even when things were bad.

But it’s got bugger all to do with general lockdown measures designed to stop the covid spread in the first place. It certainly doesn’t translate to: if people should have been able to go to the gp they should have been allowed to socialise too. You’re arguing a separate point.

Working in a care home comforting our lovely old ladies and gentlemen because their families couldn’t visit.
makes my blood boil thinking of that lot living it up in number 10 getting pissed and puking up everywhere.
Laughing because they thought they’d got away with it while our poor confused lonely residents couldn’t make out why their loved ones hadn’t been to see them in months.
Truly heartbreaking 💔

Zoom party for my mums birthday she lived alone but was miles away so didn't want to risk going to hers.

About to go into labour any day and absolutely terrified that my partner wouldn’t be allowed to be at birth.

I was shielding for the second time but luckily able to work from home reporting medical images so I could still support my colleagues on the frontline. I shielded for. a total of 11 months between March 2020 and April 2021. Didn’t see my mum who is in her 90’s from Christmas 2019 until May 2021 because we were both at risk and wondered if I would ever see her again.

It may have been one of the days when I had got up in the night to go over to my parents because my dying mother had an accident and we did not have enough carers, before getting back up to start work on time supporting other people having a hard time. And then I went back over after work to do chores, give my dad a break, then went home to do my chores and etc.

flicking through my phone gallery i was at my dads house in durham with my two little ones.. 😴time flies

That was my DD's 8th birthday. We were in tier 3 so no real celebration- just a pizza and cake at home with our household.

I love this one from insta! Haha making babies so basically the same as PM. Now the lockdown baby is 1

The ones on here being blasé and thinking they’re funny share form with the PM who addressed the labour leader today as Sir Beer Korma.

The man has zero shame or remorse and his apologies are a bag of wind.

Probably had a couple of friends over celebrating our new baby.

Weren't we actually able to meet people in November 2020? I remember being at the pub when DS was tiny, I think you had to pretend to just be with your household though. No one checked in our area of London.

The lockdown rules were ridiculously draconian so we took them with a pinch of salt - ie only one or two people over at once, not seeing anyone ahead of seeing vulnerable relatives.

Can’t remember and don’t care. I’m totally fed up of people banging on about parties in No.10. There are more things to currently worry about.

Weren't we actually able to meet people in November 2020?
No, we weren't. There was no indoor household mixing allowed here in my part of the UK.

Protecting "bog standard" GP care then protects critical care. Can't you see that? Denying people basic first port of call medical attention means their problems grow more complex. And expensive.

One Friday that November, I think it was that one, I went to the dentist. It was the only place I went that month. And as a disabled woman with multiple conditions that make me CV i was horrified by how dismissive the dentist was of covid.

I’m totally fed up of people banging on about parties in No.10.
It's not just '' banging on about parties, though, is it?
Why are, people so intent on minimising and excusing his blatant disregard for the law? It's like he was deliberately laughing in our faces.
Baffling

It's just so dull. Who bloody cares!?

Many had sad experiences in lockdown, not one of us came through it easily.

The thing is hospitals were high risk areas, sadly visiting had to be stopped. I wouldn't have wanted my loved one in the same room as various visitors traipsing in and out. The social rules were there for a reason.

These people in the Gray report all worked together. Many at Downing street weren't doing anything many others who worked together weren't, eating and drinking in communal areas. Granted those who got pissed overstepped the boundaries but the whole thing has been a weird witchhunt under the guise of the media and the opposition pretending to care about grieving relatives and 'the rules'.

I don't think it's quite the result Paul Brand and various journos were hoping for. Again, I draw your attention to exhibit A. The very dull birthday 'party'/sandwiches in an office photo that BJ and sunak got fined for. I mean really.

It's just so dull. Who bloody cares!?

Lots of people.
