Try telling that to the widow of a former colleague of mine who died in July 2020 of COVID, aged 37 (in fact the only person I personally knew who died from it, although I must know a couple of dozen people who've had it). Wishing really hard for something doesn't make it so
On the radio almost daily when we get a bit of new re Partygate, the hosts often raise the question "should we move on and forget," as do some callers who state "for gods sake move on more important things." These parasites forget those that died close to 200k, tens of thousands suffering fom long covid, the millions that could not see their loved ones - while all along those that made the rules and telling us what to do were partying.
TBH: If it was confirmed earlier that Boris and Co and other cronies were partying and other not following the rule, me and my family would still follow the rules as we could not live with ourselves knowing that there was a possibility we did not follow the rules and were responsible for them catching and dying from covid.
It's not a case of "we are following the science" its, 'we are following the vote and doing our best to stay in pwer and F everything else.'
It's only when these liars are hit directly with something then they think its real - you recall Boris getting Covid and hospital, that shook most of them up but they soon forget, the sad B's.
"In the past week, 20 government staff have been fined by the police for attending lockdown parties. One was the head of “propriety and ethics”. Another ran the Covid task force which drew up the coronavirus restrictions.
You couldn’t make it up. Except that they do, all the time.
The prime minister, we are now told, was given the wrong information by staff about whether parties were held. So he didn’t mislead parliament, despite having attended some of the events himself.
I can accept that some of these gatherings may just have been colleagues opening a bottle after working together all day. Certainly, Whitehall in the pandemic felt like an island in a hurricane. What I can’t bear, though, are pious homilies telling us to ignore events which featured karaoke machines and drunken fights because, according to Jacob Rees-Mogg, this is “not the most important issue in the world”, and the Covid rules were “unkind and inhuman”. Yes they were — which is why the public is still angry that those who imposed them broke them."
"Almost everywhere you look, the hokey-kokey of fudge and doublespeak continues. Boris Johnson attacks P&O Ferries for sacking workers — but is dropping the employment bill which could have closed the loophole which made that legal. He promises to cut taxes, while raising tax and spending to almost unprecedented levels. He talks about free speech, while legislating against protest. He takes one stance on gay conversion therapy, then changes within a day."
"Extensive jokes the prime minister told at a recent dinner for MPs were taken as proof of his burgeoning confidence that he will survive. That’s not quite accurate. He is buoyed by positive coverage of his efforts on Ukraine and by the plummeting popularity of Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who stands accused of failing to do enough for the poor while his wife has beneficial tax status as a non-dom. But the defiance masks the knowledge that he is deeply distrusted.
Had Sue Gray’s report into Downing Street parties been published in February, Conservative MPs would probably have mustered enough signatories to call a vote of no confidence. The threat has receded because the Gray report was delayed by the eleventh-hour Metropolitan Police decision to investigate, and is now conveniently expected not to land until after the May local elections. Although the Conservatives expect to fare badly in those elections, especially in London where they could even lose the flagship borough of Wandsworth, Johnson’s allies will pass this off as a midterm bump in the road."

Sadly covid deniers will twist any piece of news to suit their narrative
the "well the people who set the rules and ignored knew it was a hoax" is just the latest
I thought I misheard this on the radio a couple of days ago but looked it up and it is right
no more partgate fines until after the election - why not???
The cops couple have done it until the end of the month at leaset and voters could have made a more informed decison

It's going to look so bad they are concerned about influencing the vote. No Tory MP's left as all have to resign 
maybe.
The May elections will show how far his 'apology' has taken him with the electorate - but since Steve Baker excoriated him in the HoC it signalled a significant change in the attitude of backbenchers. Jeremy Hunt is slithering through the corridors of power, scenting an opportunity, and i expect to see him snuggle up to Baker for a leadership challenge.
Perhaps in May, after the local elections show how quickly support for Tories is deteriorating in the Shires, but certainly after Sue Gray publishes her long awaited report which is expected to indict the greasy weasel personally for the failure of leadership during the covid crisis.
A turkey has more chance of surviving xmas than him.
