easy, big feller. I was being conciliatory
I understand what you're saying, none of us are without flaws though many of us pretend we are. and following every covid direction is quite burdensome, even for those of us who see the benefit in it. But I guess with Johnson is if he was a generally decent bloke that did his best but was occasionally selfish or cheated, you could look at the big picture and be less judgemental. But he's not. He's mostly a mendacious cunt whose policies and government have hurt a lot of people and generally made britain shittier by any metric, so I'm less inclined to let smaller things like this latest hypocrisy slide, even though it's pretty minor in terms of shitty things he's done.
I say minor, but it's not trivial. There is a not insignificant possibility that someone could get covid and die from the decision to have this non-social distanced party during a pandemic. How would you weigh your "those poor workers haven't had a party in 8 months" against "kids losing their mother and never seeing her again"? It's not just about what level of risk we accept, but about what we afford those around us by our decisions
