    Because once more, you can only view the world through you ‘covid restrictions’ goggles. There’s absolutely no other issue of interest to you. It’s a bit sad really. You’d happily have Ghengis Khan running the country eating babies, so long as you get to go about your business.

    What annoys me is a lot has been left to conscience of the people through poor policing. Those following "the rules" have suffered the most. Just reading this thread highlights this.

    My feeling is all the Tory party are as bad as each other, so you have to go off what you think their policies are. Boris will now likely try to bribe the public to get them back onside so expect him to cancel the planned NI rise and do something about fuel bills.

    I'm guessing a sweetener for those that have worked through the pandemic.

    No particular health issues. I can't remember exactly what the rules were at the time, but I assume we were sticking to them. I know that we both came away very upset not to have been inside or cuddled the lad. Later in the month I have photos showing socially distanced visits in the garden, so I assume things had relaxed by then.

    This fekin Tory MP for Litchfield that’s being interviewed on BBC News, he hasn’t a fekin clue, he’s basically saying because there were no outsiders and that they were all working together in 1 building it wasn’t a problem. Load of ******,I worked in the DWP and in a building of several floors, we weren’t even allowed to go up to the next floor to have a cuppa with a colleague at break time. We were even limited to much lesser numbers on our own floor. The woman that interviewed him wasn’t much better. She couldn’t even push him enough to say whether Johnson should come out and say whether he was there or not.

    Thought as much. You're a decent person so you let your conscience decide.

    Same, I was working at the Home Office and it was pretty much shut down / follow the rules. Certainly for the Civil Service anyway, and it was so strict if you did have to visit the office.

    Speaking from experience there have been rules all the way through but they haven't been physically enforced. They've advised this and said there are penalties for that. However, the only people that have really suffered are those adhering strictly to those rules. The rules have been ambiguous and mentally debilitating.

    I think the Levellers said it best.

    Not a chance!
    The Tories sell themselves as the party of low taxes, but the reality is that taxes that disproportionately hit the less well off are exactly what they’ve always done.
    Likewise fuel costs. They don’t care that poor people will suffer.

    And why don’t they care? Because the working class vote splits like this…
    People who would never vote Tory

    People who vote Tory because ‘low taxes’, ‘opportunity’ favouring the British over foreigners, despite the fact that those things will never actually have a positive impact on the working class.

    Johnson doesn’t have to bribe ‘us’, because he doesn’t need us.

    He won’t be around for the next election, so his successor can distance themselves from all this corruption and lying, and the gullible will rather ‘give them a chance’ than vote for a party with their actual interests at heart (if such a thing exists?)

    Its a wierd world we live in isnt it but it does seem to be the attitude of at least 10% of the electorate
    Also all these Never Voting Tory Again converts - how many will change their minds when the Tories dump Boris and put in someone without the taint such as Sunak and they announce tax cuts nicely before the next election - I am going for most of them

    Of course they have been enforced loads of people have been fined for breaking them
    The fact that lots get away with breaches is only because they werent caught

    I just looked through mine and there arent any taken outside my house in the entire month of May - just a few garden related photos such as my Tomato seeds germinating so I could send a photo to Dad

    Just checked mine and there’s just a photo of a hand drawn card a little lad, who moved in to live with his auntie and uncle next door for a few months back then, posted to people on our street with some sweets. His mum is a nurse and he went to live next door whilst she went to work on the frontline. The card he drew and wrote invited people out to clap for the NHS.

    Here’s one issue. Scary how reading through the comments there’s so many people more bothered that Kay Burley broke the rules once (or twice) than the government.

    Does she? If she tries to actually meddle or exert influence she should be abolished immediately.
