This party was on December 14th 2020
Here’s what the tories had just said to the country on December 14th 2020
Health and Social Care Secretary’s statement on coronavirus (COVID-19): 14 December 2020
And sadly, on average each day over the past week 420 deaths have been reported
….
we must act now
….
We should never lose sight of our own role in this – our personal responsibility.
Each and every one of us to respect the rules where you are don’t ease up on those simple steps that keep us safe: like hands, face, and space. The social distancing that we need. And to come forward and get a test.
This moment is a salutary warning for the whole country – this isn’t over yet.
Please play your part and do all you can to stop the spread of this disease.
People will make retrospective arguments about what others were doing. But the fact that we have to trust these people and they prove themselves to be hypocrites time and time again means they should not be working in some of the most senior, influential roles in public office.

‘integrity’ is putting the obligations of public service above your own personal interests
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.
It features Ben Mallet – awarded an OBE in Mr Johnson’s list. Mr Mallet, filmed holding a glass of red wine and wearing festive braces, was the Tories’ campaign director for the 2021 London mayoral election.
He now runs the campaign of Moz Hossain, who wants to stand in next year’s mayoral race
Just in case anyone was wondering if this is all just a matter for the history books.
18 months maximum and they are gone, thank F**k.
I hope so, but I can’t help but feel like they’ll roll out the PR machine closer to the time and everyone will have forgotten about all this
No party has come back from so far back in the polls to win an election at this stage. Also the tories are hopelessly divided - everything they feel like they’re “getting somewhere” their divisions come to the for again.
On top of all that, the mortgage timebomb alongside the inflation problems are looking like they’re lasting longer than expected/hoped. I’d expect much of next year to be dominated with stories about families struggling to cope with the high mortgage rates, being forced to sell their homes and the property market being a mess. It’s not a good situation to be in but I can’t see how the Tories can see that out.
I sure hope you’re right
Unbelievable, the fact that boris is getting some of these people knighted beggars belief.
What a shower of cunts
All I can think is I wonder if they killed anyone by infecting them?
Judging by the fact everyone in the video is young, white and of reasonable BMI probably not.
What a joke. Get them in the bin.
That poor girl’s arm.
People who wanted to be locked down are angry that the people who locked them down were partying.
