I take your point that having a party in breach of regulations isn't the worse thing they've done
for me, like trump's near continuous dickishness while in office, this hardly moved the needle in my already shit opinion of them
but I don't think the anger is manufactured. You said yourself how difficult it was not seeing your close friends. A lot of people across britain have made similar sacrifices, and it has been one of the hardest things they've done in their lives.
So when they see the very leader and party in power that directed them to make this sacrifice, and many of us have followed the rules, ignore them for something as trivial as a work piss-up, that outrage isnt manufactured.
And while there will be hypocrites getting sanctimonious like there is with most things especially on the internet, there's a shitload of people who have followed the rules and done it hard only to have this shoved in their faces, and their anger is very real
Anyway, it was more for the billy bragg joke than the sentiment that I posted
