Personally, I couldn't care less whether Boris and Carrie broke lockdown rules over Christmas.

However, if you are one of the millions who took that political nonsense seriously, you should be marching on Downing Street.

Yet I suspect there will barely be a whimper because deep down I think most people knew it was nonsense; but in a strange way liked being disabled and infantilised and feeling like they were an important part in a great drama.

They enjoyed it all.

Many do seem to have enjoyed the “forced holidays”. It used to be very different with people eager to get back to work, especially after the Christmas vacation. There's no way that lockdown would have been tolerated back in the go-getting days of the 80s and 90s when corporate office culture reigned supreme.

I think you are right md; we are now a very self-entitled, self centered and dull sort of culture.

We don't know that he broke the rules. The guest might have been in their bubble, or could have been fleeing domestic violence or another emergency, which was allowed.

But the main point is true; who cares?

Boris Johnson's flat is not a good place to head to avoid that sort of thing....

I think it matters enormously but as JK says..who probably cares?

It all plays into the notion Boris is a bumbling, lovable naughty buffoonish character who can be forgiven for his often ladish actions when in reality he's an entitled, calculating, hideous, nasty, right wing opportunist who will eventually be led from No 10 by his (former) supporters much like Maggie was once her spell was broken.

I think the truly disturbing thing is Hedda that people do already know this, and don't care.

They knew it about Trump too, and didn't care. People know they are all surface but they prefer simplicity and clarity to the terror of nuance. We are in a zero sum argument age; even the way social media is set up (hash tag a like; thumb up or down...) underlines this and changes (probably literally) the human brain...

Just a theory; but it is mine so big thumbs down to you all if you think it 'aint 100% correct..

I just hate the ganging up mentality. Even if it is directed at the pumped up wassock of a PM.
