Party gate

During the COVID-19 pandemic, rule breaking parties took place in Westminster. Newspapers have nicknamed it partygate, rest of us tried to follow the guidance. Unable to see love ones, could not say goodbye, we all have stories to tell. Covid has caused so much grief, loss now a sense of anger is growing. Rest of us followed the rules, repeated rule breaking went unnoticed. What is grinding my gears is constant lying, no parties happened well it was a work event.

I can understand to a degree the stress and unable to follow the rules. Nobody was ready for this we lacked the structures required or capacity to change how things worked. Which meant that unofficial bubbles had formed within offices at Westminster. Can’t justified obvious rule breaking that goes outside the spirit of the message given to us. Discredit any sacrifice is just flat out insulting. Lack of empathy on display is scary.

I rather that the truth was told, admit to the mistakes and face the punishment. Surely you believe in the rule of law and leading by example. Got to show some respect towards voters who followed the rules with limited social interactions. Clap for the NHS just for show?

I’m angry like the rest of people and don’t like being taken for a fool. Rebuilding the trust with covid still raging is high price to pay for cheese and wine.
