I think she sat alone, to show an example, due to covid. Very wise... I still can't give a monkeys about who partied and when. They gave the advice that was... potentially, safest, which was right.

What bothers me is those fined or literally prevented from seeing dying people. But I see that as a different issue... that was down to lockdowns, which a lot of people did agree with. Any parties didn't affect that.
The biggest problem maybe, was too strict lockdowns, with no personal choice, but that probably wouldn't have been popular either.

I think all fines should be paid back. And also, any future lockdowns should be advisory.
Their job should be to give everyone the most accurate information they can, good or bad... same for vaccines. And let adults work out what they need to do.
I didn't party that Christmas, because that's what I decided was best for me and those around me. I decided for myself. I just needed the information. Anyone who would have changed their minds, purely due to Boris's behaviour (much as I like him) must have a screw loose :-)

I'm with Pixie on this totally.
Well said. And yes Boris was pretty stupid. But I haven't turned against him or the party. And I'm still sick of the media - all this interviewing of people who are upset is getting me down. I'm fed up with sob stories! Lets move forward.
A week full of Boris partying and Prince Andrew! Is there no other news.

They didn't "give advice" Pixie. They introduced legislation which provided for hefty financial penalties, pursued through the criminal courts if not paid (with imprisonment as the ultimate sanction for non-payment). That's not advice, it's enforcement against everyday activities that had become - outrageously - criminalised.
This is the whole point. These laws were introduced in order to counter the pandemic. In order to be successful they had to apply to everybody. But Ministers and their staff were of the opinion that they didn't apply to them because (so the nonsense goes) they were "work-related".
It's actually opened up a far wider debate. These revelations show that at least five boozy parties are said to have take place in No 10 or various other government buildings in the past eighteen months. Why are such events held in government offices? Most organisations banned the consumption of alcohol on their premises thirty years or more ago. If "leaving parties" and the like are to be held Ministers and civil servants should do what everybody else does and head off to a bar.
