What were you doing on November 13th 2020

[TeaAndChoccie]

while the PM was partying.....?

Who cares?

Who cares?

Lots of people, clearly.
Or haven't you read the thread?

Me
millions of other people, I would imagine

Easy to spot the Tory apologists on this site. Their lack of knowledge, empathy and integrity is glaringly obvious.

Google Calendar says “nothing planned”, which just about sums it up.

My dad died the following week. He was in hospital for ten weeks, and for eight of those ten weeks was allowed no visitors at all.

I don’t care really and I’m not pro Tory at all. I just feel unmoved by it. More important and more awful things have happened and I’ve run out of “care” for a bit.

I was in Specsavers

It’s probably been mentioned elsewhere but looking back at WhatsApp messages I noticed that a few days after the party the BBC was reporting that Boris was isolating because he had been in contact with someone with Covid in number 10.

some of you have really fucking low standards. How can you read some of these comments - parents and children dying - and shrug your shoulders and say 'who cares'? We really should be holding those in public office to account.

@TooBigForMyBoots why only Tory apologists!? Kier did it too and Labour lied about who was there! I am a labour voter and I don’t care that any of them had a drink.

@frazzledali you are conflating two different things. they will be held to account if they broke the law but that doesn’t mean everyone should care about what they did.

I was on a night shift holding an iPad up so people could say goodbye whilst their mum died and I cried all night

They died from Covid forgot to say

Teaching my students via Microsoft fucking Teams. Fine (when the shitty platform actually worked) for the rich students who could attend the seminar from the comfort of the study of one of their family's many residencies, not so great for the students having to fight for internet access and study space with their younger siblings still at school, or the students trapped in abusive living situations. Then I would have had office hours, when students with significant mental health problems needed to talk about the impact of being stuck in a tiny hall of residence flat.

Burying my father in law

I assume stuff like this is posted by Tory HQ because everyone else cares about it.

We were in tier 3 so my social life was meeting friends for a walk. Hadn't seen my parents for months except via facetime. My dc were struggling with ridiculous restrictions in school getting sent home because "bubbles" burst. No swimming lessons, no boys Brigade, no after school club causing me shit at work, no take away from my favourite Greek restaurant because they were too small to stay open with constant tier 3 restrictions so they lost their livelihood. Friends in the beauty industry crying because of tier 3 coming back in when they needed to earn money for Christmas

It beggars belief that we all had to put up with ridiculous restrictions which we knew were bullshit and those in power decided to do what the fuck they pleased because they knew what bullshit it all was.

@ZenNudist no we had to comply because if we didn’t more would have died. Their parties probably had zero impact on infections or close to it. It is bizarre how people would get so upset about the apparent randomness of restrictions - it is that hard to understand that it was just about reducing numbers?

And a lot of people who are not Tory voters don’t care. For many people this is just a Westminster side show., there are much more important things going on for a lot of people now that need more immediate attention that political point scoring. What happened, happened. We can all exercise our vote.

Nothing (like the majority of other people)! because we'd cancelled plans to see friends that night.

I took my DM out for lunch as it was her 80th birthday that day. We couldn't hold a big party for her but she had a nice day out.

Probably crying because my iVF had been cancelled and I was struggling hearing about all the potential lockdown/boredom babies.

First day back in work following Covid isolation. Little did I know then it was slowly causing kidney failure which nearly killed me weeks later.....

This is closest to how I feel.

❤️❤️❤️ so awful that stuff like that was cancelled 😡

No, we had to comply because it was the law , there were criminal consequences for those who flouted restrictions and anyway everything was closed. most people had no choice but to comply , whether they agreed with the rules or not. Apparently none of this applied to the very people who made the laws. This is not how a democracy is run. It is bizarre that people like you will defend this kind of behaviour. Better you move to North Korea.
