I'm sure a lot of people who are defending him would think pretty differently if they lost family members due to the pandemic and were not allowed the time with them due to the restrictions in place

He made the rules, he should have abided by them. Simple as that. Other countries must be pissing themselves at this **** show.

To be perfectly honest rules made for Nursing Homes and Hospitals were to protect the most vulnerable and the sick. If one of my parents or grandparents lived in their own home and were dying I would have broken the rules and gone to their aid even though "we were not supposed to"...and I would not believe anyone who would say they wouldn't have done the same thing. It was completely different with Homes and Hospitals because staff and other Residents/Patients had to be protected and sadly those who passed away in those institutions were unable to have loved ones there.
Thousands of people broke the rules during Covid...thousands. Look at the demonstrations up in London. What they did was no worse than Boris with his little gatherings...he amongst many.
We seriously need to get this into perspective...
