naomi - // If people are working together day in and day out it's ridiculous to jump up and down in rage because they sat in the garden together. //
Minimising any scenario to scoff at it is bad debating.
It is not case of people 'sitting in the garden together'.
It is a case of people who work directly for the government, deliberately breaking the rules that said government has enforced on the entire population, including them.
It is not 'sitting in the garden' - which the government confined to one other person, it is socialising and breaking legislation, for which other breakers have been arrested, and which other people have obeyed at the expense of a chance to be with dying family.
No it's not 'sitting in the garden' and minimising it does not make it look any better, it remains what it is, contemptuous law-breaking.
