Hide AdI share the public’s fury at what has gone on in Westminster over recent months. If you stuck to the rules, perhaps at the cost of not sharing a loved one’s precious last moments, you have every right to be angry over various parties attended by Boris Johnson, his advisers and senior civil servants.
It is clear that the Westminster elite who imposed the restrictions believed they only applied to the little people, and not to them. This is a culture that has to change. Our leaders are elected to be servants of the people, not to lord it over us like Bourbon kings.
I can’t help thinking of the Queen, who was offered an exemption to the rules so she could be comforted by her family at the funeral of her husband of more than 70 years.
