That's a false equivalence.
Office canteens were allowed to be open but everyone in there still had to follow social distancing and mask rules. Those rules didn't include a 40 person or more BYOB piss up after work.
Oh and in 2020 the military were also following the applicable rules where they could with the same concerns we all had at the time, even where the rules there were given weren't great:

Quote:
Troops from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards said they had been asked to self-isolate with their families but then hauled back to an environment that had not been supplied with any personal hand sanitiser or other cleaning equipment.
The lockdown means soldiers have been unable to shop outside to obtain personal supplies, while people within the camp in Hampshire who are showing coronavirus symptoms have been offered no medical treatment or support, according to those in the unit.

On the day Boris won’t say if he was, or wasn’t , at the booze-fest, we were standing outside my mother-in-law’s care home window, trying to communicate with a very elderly lady with Alzheimer’s & Senile Dementia; we were doing this, rather than face to face, because it was illegal for us to be with her.
Excuse me if I don’t have a lot of patience with someone who is defending Johnson allegedly breaking the law by stating it’s not very important and no one cares…
Are you Michael Fabricant?

How do you draw that conclusion? I am advocating waiting for the result of the inquiry before making a decision.
You lot have found him guilty before you have all the facts. But of course you are always right regardless, eh?

What you mean is you're hoping he'll blag his way out one more time with a bit of pwiffle pwaffle and O level latin but hopefully this is it for him. Only Bojo would need an investigation to see if he attended a party in his own house

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
Added a simple poll to the thread - Should Boris Johnson now resign?

So if bojo said he wasn't at a party you would be satisfied with his answer?

Remember that you can tell if a politician is lying if his lips move.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
I hope the spam filter is ready for OB registering a lot of new accounts.
OB1 to 100 all on to vote no.

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
He should resign now. But he won’t. He will wait for the enquiry to report, and he still won’t resign unless there’s an unequivocal, strongly-worded condemnation of him personally (and even then I predict he’ll look for wriggle room). I strongly suspect it will take a leadership challenge late this spring or early summer to oust him.

Ordinarily, you'd be right. But in this case, Boris refused to say whether he was at the 100 invitation party; he could have said "No".

Re: That No.10 Christmas Party
The trouble is I know people who want BJ sacked, yet they are anti-maskers and anti-vaxers, and they said that they have zero intentions of following the rules and to question them was discrimination.
Mind you it could be worse a SKS could be in power, he himself was photographed mixing when he shouldn't have but the news seems to have ignored this.

But that's not a problem. They didn't want restrictions but the law imposed them. They probably want him sacked because Johnson did choose to implement those laws and then appears to have broken them.

Exactly. It's the hypocrisy that matters. I had to attend my uncle's funeral (non-covid) via video link because of travel restrictions while these hypocrites were partying.
Sod parliamentary investigations the police should be investigating and pursuing prosecutions. They were so keen to oppress the proles.
