In my experience, people were breaking the rules well before we got to hear about the (ahem) parties.
You cannot seriously conflate lies about holding parties (if that is proved) with lies that directly led to many deaths in an invasion. Unless, of course, the person making such claims lacks a sense of proportion.

Actually I think the public were sticking to the rules admirably right up until Gollum went to barnard castle for an eye test or had you forgotten he was part of government conveniently and I didn't think I conflated anything, just wondered why you can't be disappointed with both of them

We can focus on the present without forgetting the past and we certainly can hold them both to account without the need for a league table of who was worse

Anyway what about that terrible tory Ted Heath taking us into the EEC? What a rotter ! Or Neville Chamberlain signing a pact with Hitler...

And Lord Rothermere having dinner with Hitler and moaning about the influx of Jews entering the country, somethings never change with that rag
