Who are the hypocrites though ? People pretty much followed the lockdown. As someone who worked away from home all during lockdown 1 there was little movement anywhere and I was on motorways quite a bit as well. When people saw politicians doing what they like along with celebs and zero happening they took the view of WTF should I follow the rules when everybody else doesn't.
Govt sacking people employed on public purse gets a clear message that it applies to ALL. It applied in other countries but not in UK.
Time for people to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions rather than looking for excuses to do what they want.
People do but they insist that those making the rules also follow them. When they don't people take the FU option on rules and apply their own.
