So basically the cunt thought saying goodbye to quitting colleagues was more important than the public saying goodbye to their dying/dead loved ones?

While it's understandable that people are angry, it's a bit silly to try and say these are equivalent situations isn't it?

Who had more people at them ? A funeral with 5 people or a leaving do with 30 ?

Thing is this is the palatable version he's trying to sell. Truth is he just doesn't give a fuck about it.

You're right, it's not equivalent one was a piss up for no good reason and the other was not being able to say goodbye to loved ones.
One a lot of people failed to adhere to the rules and some of those people then later lied to parliament. The other people adhered to the rules and didn't say goodbye to loved ones.
One a lot of people got pissed against the rules, in the other people died alone in a hospital bed with no one they knew close to them.
How can you sit there and call people not being able to save goodbye to their loved ones silly?

Of course they are not equivalent situations, being able to attend a funeral with more than half a dozen people is far more important, than gathering 2, 3 or more dozen people together for a piss up to say goodbye to someone leaving their job.

Hardly silly, very similar when viewed in the way that the PM expressed today

The party on 14th January, that’s the day after my Mum died, I felt incredibly alone and couldn’t see any family or friends.
Meanwhile those cunts were having a party.
It feels like the Tory scum who run this country and the senior civil servants involved in these parties were and still are laughing at me and everyone else in this country.
Edit - and I’m sure most people have a similar situation - on a date a party happened they were obeying the rules even if it was at their own personal cost

He's not saying these are equivalent situations, situations of the same value. He's explicitly saying Johnson thought his piddling leaving do more important than someone else's funeral

What we're witnessing here is Urban75's lack of empathy for "ordinary people" in the government and civil service who value their own right to ignore Covid restrictions and have a succession of unnecessary alcohol fueled parties, while still expecting all those who have lost loved ones to a pandemic which the government failed to act decisively on to accept that they can't attend a funeral in person.
Once again Urban75 demonstrates just how out of touch it is with ordinary people.

I dee this aspect got its own story.
Sue Gray halted inquiry into party at Boris Johnson's flat
The official says she only collected "limited" evidence after pausing her work for a police investigation.

Oh don't worry. There is going to be a public enquiry into Covid. Surely they will be rigorous in seeking out any mistakes or injustices that happened to the wider public..... Well maybe the one after the one after the next one if the pacific nuclear tests, Bloody Sunday or Hillsborough as examples are anything to go by.
Caroline Slocock on C4 news stressing how very close a Principal Private Secretary is to the PM. She clearly thought ,and she spoke from experience ,that it was inconceivable that the PPS to the PM would have issued invitations to Downing Street parties unless at the instigation of Johnson as PM.

I think our vague constitution, based on the idea that those at the top are 'good chaps' who act truthfully and honourably has always been a crock of shit. At least this lying prick has made it obvious that we are so poorly governed. Not that anything will change, in fact this could just normalise similar behaviour in the future by precedent.
A smug tosser who filled Downing Street with a bunch of sneering public school snobs who take pleasure in 'hitting down' at cleaners and security guards. And the parliamentary Tory party will allow this to continue.
And still he remains, a bloviating teflon smirker. What a time to be alive.

I do think there's hope. Yes, he's basically got away with so much shit, and they're all self-serving, corrupt arseholes, BUT younger people are seeing all this and they're just not going to have it.

Yeah, my Mum died in a care home on the 15th May, the day they were having cheese and wine in the garden at 10 Downing Street.

I hope so. But it takes more than that. If it becomes tribal, if the 'other side' promotes a populist just as willing to fuck people over... The precedent has been set.
The best case for me (systemically) is deeper reform or revolution. In the 19th Century, the ruling class offered crumbs of reform to offset revolution. Where is the fear of the mob?
This whole party thing is deeper than the left/right divide, for thousands it's deeply personal. That gives me some feeling of hope, I suppose
