I don't want to labour this point ( unintended pun), but the hurt and anger expressed by my sister ,..and I expect by the others, doesn't get washed away by a person missing a day at the beach, or the the party. People like her will remember the hypocrisy. We had something similar in NI where the attendance of an excessive number of the notables from SF at a funeral , required a lot of humble pies being eaten by a party which NEVER says sorry..
I know this might sound callous Danidl but the vote counters will be saying the number of people with emotional feelings (ie lost a loved one etc etc) over those weeks will in reality be quite small. As flecc suggests the vast majority will be more likely to have descended on sea side towns or done other what they saw as minor infringements. Many will be quietly thinking "so what".
Those feeling strongly, either against BJ or because they had severe circumstances at time will tend to be the vocal ones.
We all know full well they should not have had drinks on lawn but there is a sense of us all losing perspective on this.
Boris was photographed, sat next to his wife in his Garden having a glass of wine, with one other person at his table.???
It might have been called a party but its sure not like parties I held in my youth. It was drinks on the lawn. Yes, wrong but come on Danidl.
And, to be fair, I could be saying "I wasn't seeing my grandkids at time and there Boris was on lawn having drinks". But reason I didn't see my grand kids wasn't because Boris told me not to but because I thought it sensible, both for their sakes and mine, not to do so. I wasn't following rules. I was taking precautions.
