It was a technical breach. They worked together, as was permitted at the time. At the end of the working together thing, they had a wind-down party. That was against the rules, but incurred no greater risk of covid. Very naughty and stupid and tone deaf - yes. But no more likely to kill them than their day job, since it was a minor extension of their day job. But I wasn't allowed to socialise in the evening with people I had been working with all day, so why did they? It's either dangerous or it isn't. Covid is either only transmissible outside working hours or it isn't. "Some of the people, all of the time". No I agree. If they could have their parties, you should definitely have been allowed to socialise with your dead prostitute bodies of an evening.

I feel that bringing in personal details such as this degrades the quality of your argument.

Having been a teacher from 1979 up to 2014,the kiddiwinks didn't have a clue who'd paid for meals & who had them for free-they weren't forced into a different queue or wore yellow stars ! I could have had an educated guess at the time as to which folk really needed help & those who played the system.Those ones who seemed to need some help were often where a parent worked but was very poorly paid,they needed encouragement to apply for what they were entitled to.I got to know many a family where not one member worked,played the system,got everything & could often be seen outside the local pub after work.These are just examples but trust me,we got to recognise where kiddies needed some sort of help & it was sorted.

I'm not sure you're open to seeing the problem if it doesn't directly affect you! Perhaps we're both wrong I would hope to see a government (I'm not interested in which political party, but at one point I thought Labour looked promising ... then John Smith died) that identified the real social issues of the day, and worked directly towards resolving them. Child poverty issues and homelessness could and should be resolved in about six months, whilst having change from the HS2 total bill ... it's about where you want to spend rather than what. Rog snipOn HS2, the U.K. has become a third world country in terms of its transport infrastructure. It is embarrassing to travel abroad and discover than nearly every vaguely prosperous country has a rail infrastructure vastly superior to U.K. Yes one can always find a pressing reason to spend short term money, but that results in a failure of long term investment in such things as transport infrastructure. This is so true. The Victorians built with an eye on the following century ...... nowadays Britain's politicians build with an eye on the next election

That's a fair attempt at asserting that most people now believe the 'covid hoax' theory. What a shame it's bollocks. I think most people have realised that it is complete nonsense now, and this is why the Liberal Democrats, a strongly pro-eu party won a by-election in a strongly pro-Bexit constituency this week. The vote against the Conservatives was a vote against the Covid hoax. I see confusion mixed with wishful thinking reigns on the potato boat this morning. Stay safe and get your jabs.

I don't know who that was but Gordon Brown has a lot to answer for. I'm assured his soul goes marching on. This gives me some solace. The mouldering bit is unpleasant though.

The vote against the Conservatives was a vote against the Covid hoax. The reason s the Lib Dem’s won the by-election are: nobody wanted to vote for either Labour or Conservatives it was a protest vote against both the aforementioned parties it was a by election and didn’t matter in the bigger picture As regards to replacing Bozza as prime minister, who in their right minds would want the job? There are difficult times, whatever a PM decides to do it will be wrong. So beware of those putting themselves forward because they are, by definition, unhinged and egocentric.

That is not the point he is making. I suspect you know that. You may say that, I couldn’t possibly comment. However comparing the Victorians with to present day society is to compare apples & pears. Most of the infrastructure was privately funded, there was little help for the impoverished bar the workhouse, working conditions were frequently appalling, healthcare for the average person was virtually nonexistent, food was frequently adulterated with harmful agents for profit and with no regard to the consequences. They built bloody good railways and posh commercial buildings though, fair play.

And ruined good English countryside by digging large ditches all over the place just for profit.
