I wonder whether you'd feel the same if you couldn't visit a dying relative, see them in their last moments?

I don't know maybe that did happen to you and I'm very sorry if it did.

He said there were no parties, he was outraged, then said there were, then said he didn't realise he was breaking the rules, you know, the ones he set?

Why else would he apologise so profusely?

Others made horrific sacrifices, I don't consider myself one of them, but people did to then find all this out. It's a bloody kick in the teeth and hurtful

As someone just said .... a sandwich and a sip of something is hardly a party in the general meaning of the word .

Boris' party gate , was more than that . People were getting drunk & were sitting on eachothers knee, no social distancing,and no masks .

These little 'meetings' were pencilled in as a regular thing. And this was when people couldn't see their loved ones who were dying.

But even if they ‘were’ regular things ( I haven’t seen proof of that ) .. they were still with people in their bubble ... just like we were in the school staffroom..

A couple of those ‘gatherings’ were in the evening because they were working late .

I hate politicians generally but a lot of those civil servants were working their butts off trying to manage the Covid19 situation.


I wish everyone was as angry with Kay Burley who really did abuse the rule .

Her punishment for her huge , lavish birthday party at fancy London nightclub.. was a six month fully paid holiday ( think she went travelling ) and now her and Beth are back on our screens everyday interviewing Boris and others and asking THEM if they should resign for having a drink and sandwich after work

When did this happen? IIRC she was suspended for being with 9 colleagues in a restaurant and then popping in to another restaurant o use the bathroom. She breached the rule of 6 - I don't recall a big lavish nightclub party???? You make it sound like there were hundreds there.

The details I used where in a news article at the time ..



This is from Google


When Kay Burley decided to hold a 60th birthday party last weekend, she was also looking forward to a pre-Christmas safari holiday before knuckling down to cover the arrival of a coronavirus vaccine and the conclusion of the Brexit process – two of the biggest stories of her decades-long career.
Instead, she is in for a much longer break. After a week of controversy and internal drama at Sky News, her employers concluded that her celebrations broke the coronavirus rules – and meant she should be off air for six months. While she will still be paid throughout her absence, there is no doubt that Burley would rather be on screen.

That still doesn't say she having a HUGE LAVISH (your words) party. 10 people broke the rule of 6 and she was suspended by Sky for 6 months. It has damaged her career. You have played down Boris' law break birthday as his "work bubble" surely as they were all colleagues you have to extend the same courtesy to Kay Burley otherwise saying her "actions are reprehensible" (again your words) is a tad hypocritical, no?

It was literally on the news a few weeks ago ,it was more than 1 party as we know. Plus there was reports of finding bins around there full of empty alcohol bottles etc.

The sitting on knees is probably more of a rumour,but apparently they were so crammed that some people were sitting on eachother. And I wouldn't put it past them

Point is ,he was telling us all to stay at home & save lives. Told us not to mingle with other households. People's relative's were dying in nursing homes, funerals were limited. And Boris was having parties & laughing at us all .
