yes, I have mountains of other things to do, but that doesn't detract from calling out those who set rules and boundaries which included restrictions on visiting people dying in hospital and care homes, limiting numbers at funerals which meant making choices as to which family members and life long friends could or couldn't visit, not allowing families to spend time with older relatives who live alone at Christmas and other celebrations when they flout their own rules. Saying that they did not know what the rules the made are and/or implying that the rules shows only apply to those they see as beneath them is totally COMPTEMPTIBLE. If the rules are too difficult for the Prime Minister to understand, what gives him the right to allow the police to fine anyone else if the rule are that incomprehensible. The law says we have an individual duty of care to understand what the law says and follow it. Ignorance is no defence.

What is worst is that when the government are held to scrutiny by parliament they lie, and when that lie is shown to no longer hold water, lie again, and again, not just about illegal parties in Downing Street, but about issue after issue. Not only that, but using parliamentary privilege to lie about opposition members, including lies that are easily fact checked.

What is most reprehensible are the number of sycophants who, when the government is called out come up with whataboutery, straw man arguments, the tired phrase that there are more important things to worry about than a government which voters are supposed to implicitly trust breaking their own rules/laws, then lying about it when they are found out, and when they have no arguments or defence left, abuse other people for calling out corruption and wrong doing.
