We are the fools for allowing our country to be run by these people.
Don’t blame anyone else.
Turns out it isn’t actually illegal to break the law…
Only subhumans heeded covaids “rules”.
> Bar manager Mr White told Wilson’s trial that some of the officers flashed their warrant cards when arriving at the bar
This is the most damning thing (other than the assault).
The Met are their own worse enemy. Rotten to the core.
With regards to the group swapping tables and sitting in groups of more than 6, I’m torn.
-On the one hand, the law applies to everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re a cop, an MP, a Doctor or a delivery driver. There aren’t exceptions, especially not for the people expected to enforce those same rules.
-One the other hand, I understand their mentality. Throughout all of COVID, I spent more time with my response team of 40 people than I did with my own family. We shared an office space, a briefing room, a response car. We were almost always in a group of more than 6 with minimal precautions for an extended time whilst at work. And we were at work for so long that our colleagues were very much part of our “bubble”. It just seemed stupid that we could sit 9/10 to a riot van with no issues, but if we went into a pub after work, we suddenly had to split up.
HOWEVER, if the bar staff are going to go out of their way to try and enforce covid rules, and not only do you refuse to follow their instructions, but you get violent towards those staff, then you deserve all the covid fines and assault charges to come your way. This lot should get done over this, and it’s ridiculous that they aren’t.
Would the PM care to comment on this egregious breach of rules?
If I had been fined for doing something similar, I think I’d be trying to recover that money. It can’t be one rule for you and another for me.
Are we really wanting police fired for breaking those rules and for the police to spend years and thousands of pounds recruiting and training replacement officers, when we know that lots of the general public broke them too?
