No10 joke about Xmas bash

Boris Johnson has ordered an investigation into claims Downing Street staff broke lockdown rules by holding a Christmas party last year and told MPs he was “furious” about footage apparently showing aides joking about it.

The Prime Minister apologised “unreservedly” for the offence caused by the footage of his then-spokeswoman Allegra Stratton at a mock press conference.

But he insisted he had been repeatedly assured “there was no party and that no Covid rules were broken”.

Businessman Luke Johnson slams the "huge hypocrisy" of No10's Xmas party.

"They realise the restrictions are disproportionate, ineffective, rules for rules sake. We must regain our lives. The morbid obsession with one disease is itself a disease."

They are not scaring a lot of us, they're making us extremely angry

Boris is out of control and not making any sense. He needs to go.

[roddyscott]

At last someone is making the real point about this. The fact is that they obviously knew that this was nowhere near as serious as they were telling us.
Reading us all a bedtime horror story and then laughing their heads off.

[caincotterill]

That’s the key!
It wasn’t that they weren’t being careful,
It’s that WE were following ridiculous rules.
You can’t stop these things from spreading at all, and they know it!!

Someone always makes money from a crisis🇬🇧👎🏼👎🏼
Don’t listen anymore, use your own sense.

Boris should just tell the WEF the deal is off! No NWO for GB, we are sick of it. And then resign!

I'm not against academic scientists. I am against politicised and perversely incentivised scientists.

Well said that man when he got the chance to talk

Step 1) realise that politicians don't care about you, Step 2) see that they don't obey their unnecessary rules, Step 3) do what is right for you and your family. Oh, and have a cracking Christmas and New Year!!

Politics is no more than a soap opera these day's .

Here here. Thank goodness there are sensible folks out there after all. The virus will always spread, and always change, and always affect people in different ways, it cannot be stopped.

[CL-hejz]

Yes, they were not remotely concerned obviously. And at a time when they were weaponising terror by the use of nudge, for the public.

[garulusglandarius]

Those parasites at the number 10 parties are in the know/the inner circle which proves beyond doubt that the restrictions are totally unnecessary and the fear is unfounded. Many of us have known this from the start, it’s just taking a while for others to catch up.

[geraldineboyd]

disgusting all those who were at these partys should be SACKED

[watfordhammer]

Julia what about the list of people that were are this party being held back by a couple of newspapers. 🤔 If you've seen the list feel free to tell us.

[reesnoble]

Who is going to sack themselves,
These hypocrites live in a world where truth is irrelevant and BS is issued to the public in bucket loads.

[pollypetal]

It's all beyond a joke like a monty python

[shogunai]

I have to say, no one in the media has painted themselves in more glory than Julia throughout this last 2 years. She has been a rock of rationality, and I for one am greatly thankful that she has been steadfast and unwavering in her constant rebellion against these insane rules.

[jeanettecollis]

Anyone with any intellect at all did the research at the start, and realised from the off it was all bunkum. People need to get a grip.

[technretro]

I am double jabbed but I won't consider boosters if at all until this theatre of restrictions, vaccine passports and vaccine mandate talk stops.

This will not happen until these emergency powers the government have stop getting extended.

[fortuner]

Had I lost a family member and not been able to visit them before they died then this latest 'party' episode would haunt me for the rest of my life. I would be thinking why I hadn't visited them with 'cheese and wine' in their last hours.
