Of course it doesn’t matter how long the party lasted. We were all told that people could only go inside the house to access the garden, and if memory serves, people were arguing about whether this included using the loo.
What sort of adult (never mind a parent) denies seven year olds a party and then has one himself? And capitalising on the fact that Josephine cancelled her party by tweeting his ‘supportive’ reply is the icing on the birthday cake!
It’s not the party itself that’s at issue, nor the length of time it went on - although parties were either dangerous or they weren’t - it’s the sheer disregard for the sacrifices other people were making that’s so galling.
