Boris making fart noises under his armpits ...?

So Boris Johnson is in trouble again. Before Christmas it was discovered that he had some after work parties in Number 10 ( the British Prime Ministers official residence) , and other ministers did the same during the lockdowns, when everyone else was told not to mix households etc. I didn’t have a problem with workers having a beer after work in their offices as an informal party near Christmas as they had also been working through the pandemic as key workers with no vaccine protection so good luck to them. They earnt that break, as did Number 10. Boris nearly died of Covid .The pressure the world’s leaders were under during the pandemic without the vaccine was pretty bad. They needed a way to relax. I’m sure many people broke the rules during lockdown just to get through the day and being a little pious with their Boris criticism. This week it has been discovered he invited up to 100 people to an outside party on the terrace at Number Ten. My biggest critic of the first lockdown was limiting people’s right to be outside where it was the safest and healthiest place to be. If you are locked down and your family member comes home infected you need to be outside the house as much as possible or you will get it. Right now my brother has Covid who I live with. I’m out and about to avoid infection. I think that policy cost 10,000 lives in the U.K and many more in Europe in the colder months. We were dragged off park benches by the cops and told to go home to the virus. No virus can spread outside very much in direct sunshine and we had the sunniest spring on record in 2020 to offer that virus busting protection from the heavens that we failed to exploit. Again, people outside in the sun having a bottle of beer or wine to talk running the country in a crisis is not terrible. I’m not apologizing for the PM. He is an elite public school product that will do what he does through arrogance of feeling above the proletariat , what elite public school is all about, the so-called ‘ruling class’. But I do think top leaders do have some leeway to break the rules o keep the show on the road. I’m bloody sure some of the journalist berating him for these breeches were also at questionable parties. Although Boris got off to a bad start with the pandemic in March 2020 with a late lockdown we are now 20th in Europe for deaths per million, vaccine hesitant Eastern European countries taking the top 10 places and two tax havens stopping them having the top 20. The U.K helped invent the jab and they did it quickly as we were getting hit hard at the start by the pandemic, 176,000 deaths so far attributed to Covid. We have done OK, considering how old and unhealthy we clearly are
