What was your biggest sacrifice while Boris was partying during lockdown?

[armageddonit]

Anyone who recieved a fine for covid rule breaches or was assulted/arrested by police.. this muppet should pay for or compensate out of his own pocket. Then lock him up for treason and intent to endanger life.

I was forced to close my business, couldn’t attend a close friends funeral, and now facing large debts because of the lockdowns. Now this by the rule maker its time to go Boris. Shame on you.

Boris also fathered two kids, got married, refurbished his flat and went on holiday a few times.

Anybody who votes this pillock back into power should be ashamed. My friend's father died and she had to say goodbye via an Ipad. He should be ashamed of himself.

He will resign and what? Are we gonna get a decent one who'd be able to protect our liberties, true democracy and the freedom? I doubt

People are only just realising that the rules applied to us and not to them? That was clear from start wasn't it?

[spacecat]

It isn’t simply a case of replacing him. The whole system needs an overhaul and more accountability. A change to how our leaders are chosen and so much more (such as fully electable peers).

But sadly I can’t see this happening.

And we’ve needed change for many, many years. It’s not just the tories. They make rules for everyone else and then do what they like.

Edit: Fyi, I mean an overhaul for the whole system, whether left, right or whatever we’re all disappointed.

Please play this video when election day comes round...just to remind people what they're voting for.

Boris told us we'd all 'kill granny' or die if we broke the rules.

Looks like that was all 'mumbo jumbo'.

[lastdays]

The conspiracy theorists don't seem so crazy now do they? Best thing we can do from the start is to not comply with any of this.

I lost my partner to cancer during the first lockdown, me and our 3 children only got in to see my partner on the last day, she spent her last month in hospital alone. These torries should be in jail or at least fined the 10k that they were fining the public. It shows that the police are just as corrupt as the The whole situation is absolutely shameful and disgusting !

[twinkle]

If that was any of us having a party in lockdown like him, we would be in jail or a fine.... the English system (law) is so fucked up.... I don't trust any of them no more! He needs to GO...

I couldn’t have a kidney transplant… they were cancelled for 2020 and a lot of 2021. My renal unit lost a number of haemo dialysis patients to Covid. I’ve had to shield for nearly two years, and it’s still not over. My kidneys failed in my thirties and my life has been on hold.

The evening news pretending to be on boris case you were part of problem didn’t hear anything for past two years

[goldeneddie]

We were told to be petrified of even breathing - from 6 feet away! We were told 'people will die' if we don't follow the rules. But clearly - that was an exaggeration to control us, an exaggeration they were happy to ignore whilst they partied, had Birthday trips to Durham, and secret liaisons with mistresses. Whilst WE suffered.

Never liked the bloke unless he was on "Have I got news for you" and we all saw what a prat he was then. Never understood why anyone voted for the clown. Missed seeing my Mother in Law before she died (loved her a great woman) funeral was devastating as no one but close family could go

[fleetingselfconfidence]

i love the interview when they asked him about it and he kept saying "no. no it was a business meeting"
what a sorry excuse for a leader

[DanPlayingGames]

Had my flat raided by 12 (twelve) police officers on Halloween 2020 because other residents in the building were playing loud music and they were checking I was following covid guidelines (they walked in through the front door and into my bedroom where I was half naked). No apology or accepting of the irony that 12 random people were in my flat and therefore increasing the risk of spreading covid. Joke and a disgrace to know this was going on inside the government.

I had to meet my fiancé at the park, we couldn't hug or anything, and I only saw him a couple of times a week, and our house purchase got put on hold from February to about August, and when we were finally allowed to move out, we then couldn't see our families properly until the lockdowns lifted again in 2021. Our heating broke for a week in 2020 and it was miserable, we couldn't wash, we were freezing, and we eventually broke and went round a relatives house to use the shower and we were terrified of the police coming to fine us. This Christmas my Grandma cried when we were all able to meet up again, she hadn't seen her whole family together for 2 years.
