Thank you so much, it means a lot.
I'm sure we all have our own stories of how the pandemic affected our own lives.
It's good to know there is one man in this country who got through it unscathed 😡 😆

Bullshitting or gaslighting includes adding extra info in attempt to confuse people, to muddy the waters. All the stuff about testing and hand washing, higgledy piggledy building etc.

Dh lost a family member, we had no funeral, that's one reason I'm so fucking angry. He's taken the piss out of us and many many others. It needs to stop and there needs to be accountability.

Trust me, if I wrote what I've said out loud, I would be banned. He's despicable.

can anyone see what Dominic cummings is tweeting? I dont have twitter

I keep remembering the poster (so sorry I have forgotten her name) who lost her husband and nobody could hug, comfort and be close to her.

speeches lasted 15 and 45 seconds, yeah right

It was truly dreadful what they did to families who had family/friends who died and were in hospital.

Send unmumsnettly hugs to MrsLeonFarrell, drivinmecrazy, L1ttledrummergirl and everyone.

Ah the I was only responsible for party entertainment and pot plants defence, excellent.

He’s sounding like he’s been coached by Prince Andrew

Yes!

DC is not tweeting, he has a live blog on the go 😁

As yiu can imagine it is verrryyyy long. So here is an extra

14.31 Reason why he’s stressing me is simple — his rat brain tells him that the MPs hate me about as much as they hate him, maybe more!, so he wants them thinking ‘do I want to do what Cummings wants and do the trolley in?’

15. 05You can see why we had to keep Bernard out of running Vote Leave — confused, missing the point, HOPELESS!

I so agree. I loathe him. He stands for everything I hate with a vengeance.

Pannick seemed to say something at some point; couldn't hear or lip read?

The longer this goes on, the tighter he's tightening his own noose.
There must be some Machiavellian quote or paradigm that would describe him taking himself down 😂

So did his family use the cabinet rooms for their own purposes, as a playroom for example

Oh yes, the interior designer and the wife.

He is fighting on, as if this was normal and OK.

No Boris, she did not just 'pop her head round the door'

And he KEEPS saying no one told him. No one advised him. He didn't know because he had to be told, and no one did

Hands balled into fists now

The 200 bring a bottle party. He was 'ushered out' to it.

Bollocks.

All this needing to thank and motivate staff? It's a joke.

He looks like a cornered rat.

Now we are onto "I don't remember"

Ffs

I work in education.

We had leaving meetings via zoom too. The only time anyone involved were in the same room were staff in the same bubble - we sat socially distanced on the zoom in the classroom after schools hours.

All this needing to thank and motivate staff? It's a joke.

He could have stood in the road outside number 10 and clapped staff as they left for the night. Surely a round of applause is enough to thank and motivate people working flat out in difficult and stressful circumstances during a pandemic?

All this crap about his wife being entitled to be there because she lived there crap. He gets really cross when anyone questions this.

Surely surely she is not entitled to be at 'work meetings' which is what he is calling it.

He's losing it. He's really angry with the public for thinking he and others were partying.

I have to go out dammit

He is getting cross now.

Thankyou.

I didn't lose a family member during this time. But I had both my parents having chemo in March 2020. My mum continued throughout covid and beyond and even when she was in hospital and then a hospice last year for her final days I had to wear a mask in her room. This was May 2022.

Every time she was in hospital until her lash visit when told nothing more could be done (April 2022) she went alone. For 2 whole years covid dictated what we could and couldn't do with regards the time we had with her.

2 whole years.

Luckily her funeral and home restrictions weren't there in her final months - something I'm forever grateful for. But to think of I'd have just called her final 2 years in medical care a leaving do (and justified it by the fact she was dying) I'd have had more contact.
