Boris Kangaroo Court Misses the Point.

 I'm sorry for those that didn't get to say goodbye to relatives in hospital during the pandemic. I sympathise with people that could not attend funerals as well.

But to compare those emotive scenarios with the Boris Partygate scandal is factually incorrect.

During the Pandemic, essential workers were allowed to continue working. In our office of three people we kept working all the way through. We were allowed, by law to continue working. In fact we also had close contact with the other 5 workers in the warehouse. So that's eight of us in close contact all the way through. Acceptable by law.

Had someone in the office left during the pandemic and we cared enough to turn up with wine and nibbles on the day, then that was also allowed. We were not inviting anyone outside our working environment into our office space.

And so it is with Boris. As much as you want to compare apples with eggs, the fact is that Boris was at work, with co-workers. They were I hope classified as essential workers, so were entitled to be working together. Those were the rules on the day and the addition of wine and nibbles does not alter that fact.

Boris is not making up rules for himself, those were the rules on the day: essential workers were allowed to work together all the way through the pandemic. They could be on the premises working just as much as being on the premises to chug wine and eat cheesy crackers.

Now, we get on to Kier Starmer: I believe he was having a beer in a constituency office during the pandemic. An office that was not his normal place of work. He successfully argued that he was allowed to work in that office and have a beer during a break for food. 

If that's the case, then Boris is more than entitled to enjoy a glass of wine in work with his co-workers.

It's not piss-taking, it's not taking the Mick, it wasn't illegal, it wasn't immoral either. It was legal, moral and correct, but of course the left's morality police will be wheeling out tales of missed funerals, relatives dying unattended in hospital. All irrelevant. 

If the left want a hill to plant their flag on, what about the thousands of DNR notices placed on vulnerable people in the hands of the care sector? You know, the attempts by the NHS to avoid treating people they deemed not worthy because they were old, infirm, disabled or had learning difficulties.

Any word on that from the left? No?
