The rules for everybody else were that if you had to work in the office in-person meetings should take place only if ‘absolutely necessary’. 2-metre social distancing was required in any case. On that very day Hancock told the nation to stick to the rules and not take advantage of the good weather to socialise in groups outside.

The spirit of the rules were in essence to avoid meeting with people if at all possible for everybody’s safety. Not that it was OK if you were a bit hungry or tired. People were restricted from attending funerals at the time in these numbers. Lots of people travelled into work and straight home again day-in, day-out throughout this period, my wife included. We were told to take the rules seriously.

Blithely dismissing anger and criticism directed at this this given the environment we were all struggling in at the time is poor form imo. You and No 10 clearly feel this was all fine and people are overreacting probably just to point score. Not much more we can say really,
Look LisvaneBlue is just trying to bring some balance to the discussion around possible Covid restriction transgressions. In the same way that he argued that Vaughan Gething should be sacked for eating an ice cream sitting on a park bench and that Dominic Cummings was only doing what any normal human being would do for his ailing wife and child, he thinks that this is only an issue because it is open season on Boris Johnson.

It's almost like there is a pattern there!
