What were you doing on November 13th 2020

[TeaAndChoccie]

while the PM was partying.....?

95% of the posters on this thread for starters

The very dull birthday 'party'/sandwiches in an office photo that BJ and sunak got fined for. I mean really.

Are you still on about sarnies lol
Is that all you've got?!
I mean really 😂

Yes it is important! The very people who made the rules, broke them whilst people couldn’t be with their dying loved ones. How on earth you can say that isn’t important is ludicrous! We have a corrupt government who don’t give a shit about the public and our welfare. I’d say that’s pretty damn important.

in the early hours of that morning I was woken by a telephone call from my cousin, who was howling down the phone as she advised me that her dear mum, had just lost her battle with COVID. It was heartbreaking, So yes, it does matter.

I was planning how we could try to make DDs 18th birthday special when she wasn't allowed to meet friends or family. She was recovering from severe depression brought on by the stress of having to do online learning during the first lockdown. I am not forgetting or moving on.

Sorry, I just don't get it, I never have. I thought lockdown was ridiculously draconian and broke the rules myself so I don't care that others did it - good on them if anything.

Having to cancel landmark birthday plans. Staying home, doing my bit to slow the spread of Covid, obeying the law.

I can tell you where I wasn’t: saying goodbye to my dying dad in hospital.
cunts.

I think the scale of unlawfulness at No.10, is a problem. It smacks of contempt for a fairly obedient general public who was manoeuvred back into their homes for the greater good. I'd say any trust capital is shot, good luck relying on good will of commoners in the future.

And at the same time it, it feels like small beans compared to the cost of living crisis. If Rishi puts something good down on the table tomorrow then I think it will be enough to knock partygate off the front pages and then many people will be past caring.

Well said and all of this!
For those at the back still wahhing '' it's only sandwiches'' Er, no.
No it' s not. For the reasons stated in this post.

So you have no opinion or don't care what those who made those ridiculously draconian rules do?
That's strange. The Government shapes our lives, taxes, environment, what pay we take home, health and so on... but you don't care that they make but then break the laws?

It wasn't random "others" breaking covid legislation - it was the Prime Minister and the people that worked directly for him.

Don't write and implement draconian legislation and then act like it didn't apply to everyone.

(And then don't waste 6 months pretending fuck all happened).

Are you still on about sarnies lol Is that all you've got?!'

Well it's all they seemed to have on BJ ! He was fined for it, it is 'lol' isn't it. Well it would be of it wasnt all such a waste of time and money all because Cummings had an axe to grind.

Staying at home because that's what the regulations at the time stipulated. No meeting other people inside and certainly no parties.

Don’t be ridiculous of course people care. People missed their loved ones’ funerals, people couldn’t visit sick loved ones. People died alone because they couldn’t have visitors. It fucking matters to anyone with a shred of integrity and decency.

Are you saying there shouldn't have been an investigation at all? That is what I'm taking from your post. No SG report, no police looking into what they were doing?

Went to the post office to get an international drivers permit, then went home. About all you could go at the time.

It fucking matters to anyone with a shred of integrity and decency.

^^

So we should have all broken the rules and disregarded the strain on the NHS?

Good that there were many mugs that listened to BJ and co while you were all breaking the rules.

You obviously care enough to post on the thread!

Working from home in the day, hadn’t been into the office since April because we didn’t need to see each other to do our jobs and could use teams for meetings. Which is why it baffles me that they thought their excuses of work meetings would fly.
DS was at nursery, open as it’s linked to the hospital.
DH at work at the hospital, on Covid wards. Coming home and shoving his work clothes straight in the wash with disinfectant and running to have a hot shower and wash the risk away.
Evening spent home, not seeing any family or friends.

we followed every rule to the letter
i am ashamed of our government and they’re petty excuse making. Absolute tossers both the tories and labour.

Apart from atrociously bad behaviour during lockdown, are these Wine Fridays and drinking parties until 4am what they normally get up to in Downing Street?

Staying at home with my then 82 year old mum, we are both CEV, ds & I moved in with her just before Covid restrictions started so that we knew she wouldn't be on her own & to ensure she was OK for shopping & medication.

Continuing to sacrifice my mental health for the good of the nation. Around that time I hit a particularly horrendous low, caused in the main by loneliness and exhaustion of having to do a full time job and home school/childcare as a lone parent.

I have still not got my mental health back.

Boris is a filthy liar and a cheat.

You were not allowed "work events". You had to work from home if possible. If not possible, you were to spend as little time as possible there while socially distancing. You weren't even allowed to meet people outside.

Angela Merkel was not partying. She managed to lead a country through those tough times.

I was working out in the makeshift gym in my house- only thing that helped keep my sanity intact during those lockdowns. BTW, I was
not in the UK but in the EU somewhere.
