What were you doing on November 13th 2020

[TeaAndChoccie]

while the PM was partying.....?

Just released this was the day I moved myself and my son back into my premarital flat after fleeing domestic abuse 6 weeks prior. The tenants had trashed it and there was mould up all the walls. I didn't dare ask anyone in to help me clean the place.

No wonder this country is in such a state the amount of posters with a severe lack of morals - probably the same ones screwing the covid business schemes over too.

Yes there are more important things going on but i don't want a lying insincere egotistical idiot in charge of sorting any of them. If you really think bojo and his chums are going to help you with the cost of living crisis your deluded. They are a bunch self serving smug twats

Grieving as I hadn't long lost my brother (not to Covid19) who had cancer, I couldn't see before he passed nor whose funeral I could go too.

My late husband had only passed 2 years before so feeling very fragile

I wouldn't like to say what I would do or say if I was in front of Johnson now. Couldn't stand the man before all this. This has made it a million times worse

Weekday? Moaning about going to work
weekend ? Watching telly

I lost my dad suddenly and unexpectedly the week before. On November 13th 2020 I was writing his eulogy and preparing for his funeral that was the next day. The same day my sibling turned 40.

Thanks to those who took the time to read my very long post. The kind responses I had do make a difference in helping me to move forward from that time, and this thread shows the majority of people have empathy and do care about others. It's very easy to forget that when you observe the way society has fractured to such an extent that it's hard to believe it's not a deliberate thing led by those at the top, for their own ends.

Working from home while caring for my DP suffering from severe long covid. Still doing the same thing nearly 2 years later although now I have to go to an office 4 days a week for no reason.

Living alone and away from my family in a rented flat because it was too dangerous for me to be exposed to covid via my son who was in school.

At my dad's funeral, but no wake obviously. It wasn't allowed.

@WatermelonSugarEye - Thank God for people like you, and the scientists, NHS staff and volunteers who were part of making covid-19 less devastating than it could have been. That wasn't down to Boris Johnson, or his cabinet; it was down to those actively involved on the front line. The contribution Johnson and members of his cabinet made was making some wealthy people wealthier. Reading personal accounts of people who were doing what you were doing I knew that many of you took it upon yourselves to act as 'family' to those who weren't able to have their family members there in awful times, and there'll be many people so grateful for what you've done.

Spending my first night at home with my 2 day old baby girl. After having 2 boys, a girl was a breath of fresh air.

Working 10 hour days with no break in a pharmacy, overwhelmed by the demand and exhausted

OK Boris

I had an accident and badly damaged my car, came out unscathed, on my way back from work 🥺

Not just "butties" then: twitter.com/Peston/status/1529422470972854272

"At a leaving do on 18 June 2020, the cabinet office's former director general of propriety and ethics Helen MacNamara "provided a karaoke machine which was set up in an adjoining office".

Anniversary of my mother’s death. On my own. I’m fine with that
. But quite annoyed re the 10 downing st posh twats tweets

This x

Should have just gone in. Common sense tells you that by walking and chatting together you’re exchanging particles, might as well have gone in for a nice cuppa.

Why didn’t you let your mum see your newborn? How odd.

I was in my 8th month of shielding with my very vulnerable husband Noone except nurses had been in our home in all that time !

Taking kiddie to the park with a litre of sanitiser to clean the equipment, living our life as normal as possible, visiting family and not giving a shit about the law coz let’s face it, the law makers themselves were up to no good either so why bother!!! Now when I see those images of the buffoons partying in no.10 I’m Glad I didn’t give up on my social life and neglect family. My heart still bleeds for those whose parents died in nursing homes all alone and weren’t even allowed to see their kids for the last time while this a-hole had the time of his life.

Makes sense to stay in with the very vulnerable.

Doing a work conference online (in order to keep up to date, as well as up to date with COVID guidelines, which changed on a weekly basis during the pandemic) following a 24 hour shift on 11th November and then an 8 hour shift (consecutively with the 24 hour one) on 12th November. I'm a health care professional.

I was too knackered after 37 hours consecutive working to take part in any parties. Will that do, or do I have to justify myself any further as politicians (who broke lockdown rules) seem to expect me to?

The Politicians seem to think that healthcare professionals did exactly the same as they did. From my point of view, we didn't. We were too knackered and went home to sleep

Celebrating my daughters 5th birthday just us at home and then I had a scan for my second child all by myself because partners weren't allowed in. No one non medical (other than my partner and daughter) saw me my entire pregnancy.

I won’t be making an effort to follow any rules in the future - I’ll just do what I want.
