I know a Covid ward sister who spent 18 hours a day at work during May 2020, she missed seeing her mother's birthday as celebrations weren't allowed, she couldn't attend her great aunt's funeral due to the guidelines in place, she went to work but she was too busy to mingle with colleagues and any contact was through PPE and none of it social, many times she spent the last moments with patients trying to be a comfort for those who would have died alone because of the restrictions.
There were no wine and pizza post work soiree's, no department picnics in the hospital gardens, no rewards beyond words of well done and are you ok from colleagues ? And if they had she wouldn't have gone because a) she was doing her bit and b) she was totally exhausted.
For her and many others who have made similar sacrifices this is the ultimate kick in the teeth, applauding on his newly renovated doorstep and giving thanks for the doctors who saved his life and all the time doing his own thing for no other reason than he wanted to, the example he has set is one of utter disregard and contempt for the vast majority who obeyed the rules, who did the right things and who understood that what they would like to do was less important than what they should do.
Critically, it also totally undermines his position as Leader of the Conservative's and the growing discontent from the anti-lockdown wing of his party, how can he go to the country and advise anyone on greater restriction when time and time again he has shown to disregard the rules he himself makes, his lack of competence and his over regard for his own intelligence leaves him exposed and his own hypocrisy undermines any authority within, he's now in a position that if he tries to introduce more measures he will face a vote of no-confidence and a leadership election that he will lose, his actions have corrupted his choices, he's probably not self aware enough to release he's a dead man walking, and that his actions are now controlled by the 99 rebels, do anything to upset them and he's gone. The lunatics haven't just taken over the asylum, they've renovated it and put it up for sale.
