// 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. //

They shouldn't have been working together day in day out either!
They should have been in separate offices or working at home as all office workers were forced to.

Boris did have a Party.... it was called the Tory Party but now it is in decline.

Chelle7272, in the absence of detailed knowledge about how those working in No 10 do their job, it's unfair to say that they should have been working from home. I dont know what was expected of these people during their working hours and why they had to walk down Downing Street every morning, but I really don't think you know either. Just because the government advised working from home "if possible" it was never the default as we'd have no police, postmen or bus drivers on the scene.

Lots of companies out there demanded that workers turn up at their workplaces despite all the lockdown rules and these included investment banks in the city as well as big insurance companies.

To my mind, Boris is carrying the can for a decision made by a civil servant. These permanent secretaries or whatever are career civil servants that don't give a damn about the government they work for as every few years, new politicians move into their place on work. If they detest a politician, they just wait until a reshuffle or whatever to see the the person off and on they go until the age of 65 when they retire with an index linked pension. Lovely. They make the rules; if they want a party, they have it and nothing gets in their way.

Police postmen and bus drivers aren't office workers.

as far as i recall, those employed in the running of government were exempt from staying at home in 2020, as well as people employed in supermarkets, journalists, defence industry deliveries and so on.

bednobs

in fact, they were considered critical workers. And i think if you couldn't do your job from home you could still go in (just not access schooling unless you were a critical worker)
I work in an office and there are plenty of people who have been in all the way through

I was talking about workers in general chelle7272 and as I've said not all office workers were forced to do so. Bednobs makes the point.

Chelle, you don’t seriously expect the prime minister’s office to be run from his staff’s spare bedrooms, do you?

pixie374

Many people continued to work. It was "if possible".

Just last time, as I really don't know, and nobody seems to want to say...
Those saying "no"... who did you want instead?

pixie374

Sorry, "yes" to the poll wording.

roadman

naomi24 you dont expect the politicians to have to work from their spare bedrooms do you? no they will have a whole summer house probably a pool house and a winter house to work from all paid from expenses
