Last Christmas, up and down the country people stuck by the rules, as difficult as that was for them. They did it because they wanted to keep themselves and loved ones safe and were told by those in charge that this was the best way to do it.
Families were separated at a time when they should have been together and worst of all some weren’t able to be with loved ones when they were very poorly or in some cases dying.
People had the right to expect that the Government were doing the same, abiding by the rules they put in place. Not only were they bending the rules to suit them, a key advisor was then caught lying and laughing about it.
This is shameful from all involved.
