Christmas party at Downing Street last year

Grannynannywanny that must have been very hard for you and your relative.

I think any rules will be advisory only.
How can they possibly enforce them after this, and the end result will be further spread of the virus.

My thoughts exactly. Quite frankly, most people are so incensed at the sneering disregard for the regulations and the electorate who obediently followed them that any new advice to avoid parties or limit the number of people in your home are going to be angrily dismissed. This will have a serious impact on the spread of covid19 and the fault lies squarely with Johnson and his cabinet. Frankly I wouldn't believe him if he told me it was December.

Thank you Coastpath. Yes it was very tough and I fear we are heading into more of the same. Omicron is spreading rapidly and the knock on effect from the disgusting behaviour of the government will be many folk unwilling to observe the guidelines resulting in further spread. I fear the nursing homes will be locked down again soon.

I’m disappointed today, because the Stereophonics concert I was going to on 17th has just been postponed. It’s an outside event, and the cancellation makes me think that there is very serious concern about Omicron that the event organisers have been pre-warned about.
It’s very worrying to think that people may flout the guidelines in light of the parties held by the government last year if that is the case.

Grannynannywanny it is really distressing to think how restricted our lives have been, while politicians & their hangers-on did what they liked and sneered at us.

I wonder if the people of any other country are finding out that their government has been quite so despicable.

And video of recent evening talk with Rees-Mogg who also thinks it was hilarious!

With all those pillocks guffawing at his non funny jokes.

An interview with a member of Covid 19 Bereaved Families for Justice.

I saw that earlier FarNorth. It’s heartbreaking.

I'm so angry about this I can't even make proper sentences. What have we come to?

I am so with you there Alegrias1.

Is there a difference between someone who broke the law yesterday and someone who broke the same law a year ago?

A crime is committed against you a year ago, the criminal is caught today. Do you say it doesn't matter because it happened a longtime ago? I wouldn't.

BREAKING: It has now been revealed there were at least THREE different Downing Street parties - including one in Boris Johnson’s flat - while the rest of the U.K. was in Lockdown

Surprised, anyone?
No, I didn't think so.
This is the tip of a very big iceberg, I'm sure.

I am fuming about it.Since the start of the first lockdown five members of our extended family have died, four this year.
The last eight weeks of my father in laws life were horrendous because of the restrictions.We realise that at 94 he had a good life but the last eight weeks alone and confused in hospital were hideous and we are all finding it very difficult to accept.For the Prime Minister and his cronies to deny there was a party and then to have been filmed laughing about it all just adds insult to the hurt we are all feeling.

That is the crux of it for me too Susan56 the insulting way MPs felt they could treat the electorate.
I'm so sorry for all the losses your family has suffered, I understand how angry you must feel.

Did anyone else watch PMQ today? Johnson blustering and obfuscating as usual but not quite as cocky confident as usual and his front bench comrades were rather quiet. I have to say that Ian Blackmore of the SNP was blistering in his attack. This is not going away, it is not just 'politics' or the Westminster bubble, it has impacted the life of every one of us and he can't just waffle on about having someone look into the allegations. Trust is broken although some of us have never trusted the cheating, immoral liar from the start.

Thank you sodapop

Let's not forget that this cheating immoral liar was able to become PM with an eighty seat majority after an election where most of the voters did see through him and voted against him, but that meant nothing thanks to our undemocratic FPTP electoral system.

I have just viewed the Rees Mogg video on Twitter, I'm speechless! ?

Me being speechless, is a very rare occurance. That shows how disgusted I am with that odious man!

When I was teaching, my pupils knew there was trouble brewing, if I suddenly became silent!

So when he says he wasn't at the party he means he wasn't at that party!

Yup.me too. That man (frankie Boyle calls him a “haunted pencil “) provokes thoughts of violence in me,
