A couple of points I was thinking of while it was on
a) - leaving do - Although I am retired I have met up witha few people that still work at that school
It is a Primary school - so quite small - only about 30 staff in all
One of the teacher has been a teacher all her life - left school - went to university - qualified as a teacher - went back to school
She had been at that school for about 20 years
Whenever someone left - even me and I was only there for about 2 /12 years - there was normally a "do" in teh staff room once all the kids were off site and the rooms were all sorted out
Normally there would be some snacks and drink - nothing much
Then a speech from the Head saying thanks and saying how wonderful the leaver was and stuff like that
thena few drink in the pub
But not this lady - it was still lockdownishso all she got was tidying her room up and walking down the main corridor saying by to all the teachers - who could only wave back from their desk - no hugs, no handshakes just "bye"
after 20 years or so
but Johnson had to attend a leving do of someone 'for work purposes' - b****x
b) event in the garden
village near here there is a small estate - counsel type houses a bit off the main road area but nice
hence small front gardens
a few of them had put a garden table in teh MIDDLE of the fron garden - hence deliberately a few meters from the fence - therefore each table was several meters apart
In nice weather they would get some drinks for their house only - and sit at their tables for a short time in the evening
Police turned up and told them they were breaking Covid restrictions and they had to take their tables back to the rear garden and stop having these small meeting - all several meters apart
This sort of thing was appearing in the newspapers all the time - even a picnic in a park in the middle of a large grassed space was interpreted as risking prosecution
and yet Johnson though the 'work event' in the garden was just fine
He only had to read the papers to know what people were getting told to stop doing - and yet he was allowing far worse in areas that he HAD to be walking past all day
Still - he was working very hard
unlike teachers who had to redesign all their lessons and resources on the fly and NHS staff that had to deal with all measure of complications (although we did clap for them every Thursday - which my wife's son said he was very grateful for - sarcastic git!!) - and loads of other people
so that's all right then
(presuming he knows what hard work is???)
