Boris Xmas quiz leak, surely he has to resign now?

[OriginalM]

There is a photo now of Boris hosting a work Xmas quiz with wine and beer when mixing of households and work parties not allowed.
Surely he has to resign or will be keep stating lies as fact that all guidelines were followed?

You misquote/misrepresent me entirely. Please stop having a bash at me personally.

My point is - if the government saw fit to fine others £10,000 for xyz, they should have stuck to the same rules themselves. I was never in favour of those huge fines for ordinary people, some have had their lives ruined as a result of now being in huge debt.

If you are in favour of one rule for Johnson and another for ordinary people, that is your look out. I just believe in fairness. Nowhere have I said people on this thread should be in trouble, I just said if the law is x, the law is x. The law was made by Johnson, he should have the basic fucking decency to follow the rules he has imposed on all of the country.[/quote]
I apologise. My remarks were unnecessarily personal and I should never have made them. I think I'm feeling completely deflated by the way Covid js continuing to play havoc with our lives, especially as we approach Christmas, and I've been tetchy as a result and took it out on you under the cloak of anonymity, which wasn't fair or kind.

@Warhertisuff well I completely understand all that, I was so grumpy in town on Friday, could have started a fight over anything that day. I also can be ratty on here.

Agree entirely about covid deflation, even as a person who was pretty pro-measures.

That's lovely! an apology and a gracious acceptance.

I think many of us are pissed off with the whole thing and becoming irritable.

I feel manipulated and gaslighted by Johnson and cohorts.

I mean, a photo of the boss sitting with guys wearing Santa hats and tinsel… that’s at least a case to answer.

Can imagine ever thinking this 2 years ago?

Yes I completely agree. But you’re arguing with the content of the rules - not with whether they (appear to have been) breached.

My office had a virtual quiz last year, but some people who were not working from home, did it from the office. It was just an hour of fun after a pretty shitty year, we didn't break any rules and by the sounds of it nor did Boris. This year we are all still working from home but going into the office one day a month, this is staggered so there are only a few in at a time. Whenever we go in there are nibbles provided by management, it's not a party, just a small gesture to the staff.

It's a pity that the media have seized on an unprecedented global pandemic as a good time to prove they can get rid of a legally elected prime minister instead of encouraging us to all pull together to defeat covid.

It's not unprecedented, and there is no mechanism by which pulling together is going to defeat covid. It's a virus, not Hitler. I'm pretty unconvinced by these photos but you're being completely ludicrous here.

@Player067 Yes I completely agree.

That doesn't make sense.

The comment I quoted said the boss sitting near someone with a Santa hat and tinsel is at least a case to answer.

Its really not, not on its own.
