Maybe so, maybe no. 
But these were the rules that THEY put in place, made law and prosecuted people for breaking.

It highlights the corruption and incompetence of the current administration.

They are certainly corrupt

The nonsense rules where strong armed on them by the SAGE wankers drunk on power

They knew it was nonsense and acted accordingly, I did the same

Mark Js buddy certainly needs to go for his tax dodging shenanigan's, I dont think those who use their common sense need to 

We all have our opinions on this matter and we can exercise this via our vote when the time comes, I know Ill not be considering a garden party with a few beers as a reason not to vote for a party, I will hold the parties that screamed blue murder for heavier lock-downs

So they’re corrupt and lacking in conviction  (according to you by being supine in bowing to SAGE) 

Liars as well. 
 

Nice bunch.

Regardless of people's views on the Covid rules and restrictions, (which the majority of people did try to adhere to, as they understood their purpose), it's the repeated barefaced lying and double standards that they ought to give a shit about. The irony is that if people are too busy struggling to make ends meet to be concerned about this, then that is largely down to the same group of individuals who claim to run this country. The current cost of living crisis has been greatly exacerbated by their policies and actions. (Just consider the energy policy that was announced recently; very little help to the millions struggling right now, and a disaster for the environment). I'm astounded that some people are happy to be led by such a dishonest, unscrupulous group who clearly have no empathy or compassion for the rest of us hardworking general public. This guy really shouldn't be still in power.

It's not even a party political issue, (other parties are available btw, it doesn't have to be a dipolar debate). Even a genuine Conservative government would be better than this lot.

Where does the money go from these fines ? To the government ? Probably pay the bar tab [emoji1]

Towards the next roll of wallpaper perhaps. The sum won't cover much more than one of Carrie's preferred rolls I expect.

Horrid corrupt wankers. 
 

But the lesser of two (or 3 or four) evils. 
 

My opinion of course, but Labours track record in power is abysmal. No whataboutery just cold hard facts. Lib Dems? Folded like wet paper last time they where in power and their Leader at the time has shown where his morals are when he joined Facebook. Have these parties changed? I’d say no if Kneel Starner is anything to go by. They are all literally as bad as each other. 
 

So where does that leave us? I guess voting for the horrid corrupt wankers who offer the empty promises that align with our POV best.

Birds of a feather and all that.

And !! 
Mick my point is most people have zero respect for most politicians of any party at the minute, I really wish we had a valid opposition or better still some decent tories, the rules were utter utter stupidity and quite frankly most I know pretty much ignored them especially after the initial lockdown. If those who stuck rigidly to them are now up in arms then more fool them. To be honest I’d have thought the Met would of had far more serious things to be getting on with.

Perhaps you could broaden your associations, I know loads of people who are rightly pissed off with them

What's this got to do with labour? There's no way they will be getting my vote anytime soon., I haven't been a member of the labour party since Starmer was voted in. 

I think that having known liars in parliament isn't going to end well for the little man. If you set the rules you should play by them, nobody likes a hypocrite. 

I mix with a pretty broad base of people Mark, most were fed up with the covid stupidity long ago. If you really were that naive and played those rules by the book then I’m not surprised you are annoyed. Mind you I don’t think for a minute that’s the case. I will agree and say that the current bunch of politicians of all parties are undoubtedly some of the worst I’ve seen in my lifetime.
