to think these party goers need to be charged or all other Covid fines need to be rescinded

With compensation added to it for the stress.

There are people who are STILL going through the courts and being fined for breaching Covid rules.

I don’t think the Tories wanted or particularly believed in any sort of lockdown. No way do I think they’d prioritise saving people’s lives or preserving the NHS over the economy. I think they left lockdown too late for it to have a worthwhile impact. They then just did what the rest of Europe were doing, but in a confused and tiery way. They wanted to be Sweden. That’s why they partied through it.
Scientifically, I think lockdowns to stop the spread of an uncontrollable and deadly virus can work (Ebola in Africa). But quickly, decisively and as a short term measure until the virus is under control.

I don't think they care about the economy either, if they did they would never have supported Brexit. Frankly, I don't know what they do care about.

History. They're the most successful political party in the world. You underestimate how much the Tories are loved in England. Maybe not right now.

I can’t even start with this nonsense. Loved in England? Have you looked at the polls? And they didn’t even get 50% of the vote at the last election.

Successful at what ffs?

Met Police has re opened a Partygate investigation but will NOT be investigating alleged gatherings at Checquers.

The REAL question that never ever gets asked is, 'why were they not afraid of covid'

Have a good think on that one.

@Firecarrier Ive been saying the same thing. But there is something even more unpalatable. What if they locked us all down so there would be enough beds for ALL of them. Just in case!

@JenniferBooth 😂 funny thought.

Well I'm glad to say they didn't lock me or my family down. We carried on as normal and as a result didn't have all the resulting mental health issues I now see in other teens etc.
