As did the SNP, Labour, the Lib Dems, The Greens and just about every other political entity in the UK. - probably
I'd put money on the author of this scribble likely not following the rules to the letter regarding social gatherings, either.
That's not to say that I'm admonishing any of these people, just that if it honestly came as a shock that the Tories weren't following their own rules, then they're either a bit dim, a bit naive, or both.
I'm an incredibly solitary individual. I only really have one person that I regard as a truly close friend and don't really socialise beyond them and their immediate social circle. I like it that way. I don't drink, do drugs, have kids, prescribe to religion, watch football or really partake in many of the usual social activities that people traditionally enjoy, but even I found it hard going being cut off from the outside world to the degree that we were for so long. Fuck knows how normal people managed it!
Boris is a fucking clown, but there are far more important governmental indiscretions in regards to the Coronavirus pandemic than Bojo and his pals having a few drinks together. We should be focusing on those.

ah, the "but he's doing it too, Miss" defence, employed to school children the world over to excuse bad behaviour
But I'd make two salient points
* we expect leaders and those making the rules for others to abide by to at least fucking follow them themselves if they expect and penalise us to. If you can't do that, don't be a leader then
* they weren't having a secret visit to their sick nan who they hadn't been able to see in months and it just got too much, dammit. they were getting sloshed in parties with the people they see everyday, anyway. Dont play the "big sacrifice" with these fuckers. It wasn't, they could just have easily not broken the rules and still physically seen and talked to them each day. They did it because they thought the rules don't apply to them, they're for the plebs

Like I said, I'm not admonishing them.
The old managerial mantra of "Never ask an employee to perform a task you wouldn't be prepared to perform yourself" is very, very apt in this situation. They were setting the example to which they expected us all to follow, and the fact that they broke those rules so soon after setting them, and believing they wouldn't get found out (!) is beyond moronic.
I just find this (largely) manufactured outrage over these parties a bit disingenuous. Did we really believe that they were following their own rules? I bloody didn't.
I suppose a part of the upset is in the confirmation of those suspicions. But still. The private contracts cronyism is a much more serious issue than 'partygate', and it's being swept under the rug completely by all this nonsense.
(, Sun 16 Jan 2022, 0:20, Reply)
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

Yeah human nature is to be selfish which is why we never developed communities or got influenced by kin selection or anything like that.

It's not SO MUCH public indignation about people having a few drinks after work
what's so very damaging is the way the whole situation has played out.
The first monumental fuck up was Johnson briefing againstCummings when he left. The whole tory party and anyone who knows anything about politics nearly feinted - Cummings was in the centre of all the shit and knew where all the bodies were buried. Pissing him off was one of the most dumb-ass things anyone could do.
We're now seeing that kind of mentality to its logical conclusion

The next thing is the way the No.10 and the whole tory party are lying
instead of facing an irrefutable fact head-on they lie. They lie and attack and rely on the press saying "well it's this or Jeremy Corbyn so what'cha gonna do? Which worked great .... until Kier Starmer.
The current tory front bench was forged in the fire of Brexit when project leave lied.Tjeu lied and attacked and if the press was talking about their lies project leave was were winning because the talks was not about the opposing point of view. You can also give the public the choice about which lie they believe and which lie they choose to decide is a lie.
That's who they are. That's how they work. It's a great campaign strategy, it's very effective, but it has its limitations.

Cummings is going to keep on leaking against the tories
and especially against Johnson but it'll reflect on the tories because he's their leader and they've been in power for 12 years. Cummings will leak some more shit. No.10 will deny it, then it'll be proven and no.10 will say it doesn't matter. It will be the news for weeks. It would not used to have happened because previous administrations when faced with an undeniable fuckup would own it, apologise for it and hope the public would move on. Which, often, it would.

Personally I think it's a bit rich and hypocritical
all this "Boris Johnson acted like a rule-breaking cunt" bollocks. That's who he was sold to us as, the tories hate him, they've always known he's a narcissistic cunt who will throw anyone under a bus to save his skin - fucking hell they fired him for lying to the party leader. They voted him in because he's charming and a good laugh and appeals to people like a posh game show host. They knew that in a crisis he'd be as much use as a compostable condom but they wanted to win an election. We knew this yet the British public voted for him and now there's widespread handbag clutching when the cunt we voted for behaved like a cunt.
Fucking get over yourselves. The fact that this government has taken away our right to protest? The fact it can overrule the judiciary? That they can take away a UK citizens citizenship without course to redress or even have to explain why? This shit doesn't matter I guess but the fact some twats had a few drinks does.

Is there really any difference in an ethical perspective between eating dog meat and eating cow meat, though?
Many of us eat octopus and crab despite the overwhelming evidence that they are sentient beings capable of feeling fear and pain. I'd argue that if you're prepared to boil a lobster to death or eat some freshly seared cow flesh, then you shouldn't turn your nose up to dog just because you've been conditioned to believe that they are somehow more deserving of life/less deserving of butchery than any other animal.
If you're the type of person that is quite happy to dig into a sirloin steak, then I think it's prudent to consider why you think it's alright to stick a bolt through this particular being's skull, but not that particular being's skull.
Not a dig at you, FCM. Just a general observation about the amount of cognitive dissonance a lot of westerners (in particular) apply to the consumption of meat.

Personally, I don't think we should kill them, cook them or eat them. But I'm not one of those angry militant vegan wankers that believes that hateful finger wagging and shaming will do any good whatsoever in winning hearts and minds.
However, if you really stand behind your eating of meat (and people have every right to continue eating meat if they so wish), then that choice should be an informed one based on an explicit, first-hand knowledge of how that meat gets from a farm/pasture/high intensity meat factory onto your plate.
If folk are unable to stomach the process, they should probably re-evaluate their diet.
