What were you doing on November 13th 2020

[TeaAndChoccie]

while the PM was partying.....?

@moiraandthebebe I am so sorry for your devastating loss. I can't imagine what you must have gone through.

Just had a look on whatsapp and I was messaging a friend about her birthday and if it would have to be on zoom, or if it might be within the rules for her to meet us all one by one in a park. Nowhere near the suffering of others on this thread but a far cry from what was going on at no 10 at the time.

Sorry, reading through these makes mine so trivial. I am so sorry to read of others losses.

@moiraandthebebe Planning my toddler daughter's funeral after she was sent home from A&E as a 'precautionary measure' due to how rude Covid was. She died from viral bronchiolitis in her sleep. I am enraged. We couldn't have many people at her funeral. We broke rules technically to have family support around us at the time of her death. And they were fucking partying

Just buried DH, only 30 allowed at his funeral, all had masks and no singing

I'd just come out of self isolation following being identified as a contact of a young, slim, running every day (so very fit) colleague who was rushed into hospital with Covid induced inflammation of the heart.

So I was busy being coughed, spluttered and cried over by kids, all of whom said their parents knew they were ill when they brought them in.

I cannot imagine how awful that was for you …absolutely sickening that our PM thought his behaviour was ok ..there are no words 💐💕💐

If I remember right, London was just about to go on to another lockdown, and I went to the pub with my friend where we sat in coats with the doors and windows wide open and freezing. Was definitely a more cheerful evening than some of you had, but we knew it would be the last outing for a while. I was still working, in school every day, the children were still so happy to be in school and seeing their friends.

Not seeing my 2wks5days old nephew or supporting my sister while she got used to being a mum of two, I was also not seeing my niece who was 4 at the time and struggling to adjust.

I have no idea but

I think I was either having, or recovering from the hangover of having, Zoom birthday drinks.

It’s the first thing I did when saw the news - checked my calendar and surprisingly I had a very busy day: meeting with DD’s teacher and then online workshop. It’s made real difference for DD that I was able to come in person and her teacher explained me how to help. It was such a little thing, just a 30 minutes chat but it changed a lot.

I just hope none of you will willingly and meakly accept a government telling you what you can and can’t do to such an extent ever again.

You can make your own risk assessments, you don’t need Boris to tell you when you can see your family, you are not toddlers.

Leaders across the world have had their own version of this hypocrisy, it’s not just Boris

The moral of this story is don’t be owned so easily by a government. They don’t own you

I don't remember but I know I wasn't partying.

It was the day I was due to fly to Gibraltar to get married. Eventually got married 27th September 2021 😀

@hamstersarse People have no choice if their relatives were in nursing homes or hospitals.

Our wedding for the following day had been cancelled due to 2nd lockdown.
We managed to rearrange for 29th December but only because we got special permission as my DH was having chemo and radiotherapy. Fortunately he is well at the moment.

No, the moral of the story is don't vote for a lying, cheating, selfish shit bag.

Some of the replies on here are utterly heart wrenching, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I can't believe anyone isn't utterly enraged that November 2020 we were in a second national lockdown and our Prime Minister was partying. Absolute cunt.

Firstly, @moiraandthebebe I am so sorry for your loss, I just can't imagine the heartache for you.
I was working another, 13hr shift on a very busy delivery suite, with no break again....due to lack of staff and supportive management! But it was ok, coz everyone had clapped for us the evening before 🙃🤪

I'm so sorry!! 🙁

According to Google calender, diddly squat. According to photos, probably sewing. According to mumsnet search, goodness knows because it doesn't work.

We were in local restrictions, at the time.

There are some truly harrowing stories on here 😔💐

And lying about it.

@Echobelly I think I was either having, or recovering from the hangover of having, Zoom birthday drinks.

I kind of miss drinks over Zoom - we used to have a weekly drunken quiz night.
Miss it in a way, but on the other hand glad it's gone if that makes sense lol
