The Conservatives face the threat of a new police probe as an exclusive video shows officials joking about their rule-bending Christmas bash at the party's headquarters in London during lockdown
What is so striking, every time one of these videos leaks, is that the people in it clearly knew they were breaking the rules but thought this was a far more frivolous matter than the rest of us. Whether it’s Allegra Stratton joking about the Downing Street leaving drinks not being socially distanced, or the guy here joking that they shouldn’t stream that they’re ‘like, bending the rules hahaha’ - it’s so brazen. The dancers in this video are even twirling past a sign telling them to social distance!
It’s because anyone involved in making the rules, or tbh with even any exposure to the reality of dealing with COVID on the ground knew the rules were stupid. They were put in place purely because the government reasoned the public needed something clear and concise to follow because they’re morons who are incapable of appreciating complex topics or showing any discretion.
