Apparently Corbyn's 'rule breaking' dinner was a wake, and therefore not against the rule of six, because wakes are exempt, because reasons.

So the whole thing is manufactured outrage about a person to distract from outrage against inconsistent rules.

One possible benefit to a boat is that, if the migrants can rebel and take the vessel, they can sail away and force their captors to do the £1p/h slave labour instead.

A friend went to a wake and it was 30 people, max, split on to tables of 6 max with the 2 household rules. Seems less risky than any general pub setting, but yeah pandemic.

Can't imagine how poo poo it would feel to lose someone and not even be able to have a wake at the moment though. Tough times.

If that's true then surely someone at the wake took the picture and sold it despite knowing that it wasn't against the rules?

Unfortunately only skwawkbox at the moment, so I'm treating it as 'apparently' and unsourced. Then again the claims that it was a dinner party are from the Sun, so either side is light on evidence.

e: ^^ Or they just used it without attribution, like the tabloids did with my friend's photos. He got a few grand out of that eventually, but they often hope people don't know the law.

Maybe he thought it was the quickest way to stop the press going on about it.

While the press never ask tories to apologize, they are always demanding apologies from Corbyn, warranted or not.

It still should have been 6 to a table if it was a wake, I guess. So it looks like he went to a gathering in honour of a friend who had died, and then more people arrived, making it over 6 to a table, and he didn't automatically beep boop and leave.

So he was breaking the rule of 6, but not unlike any other normal person in that situation, if that's what happened.

It's crazy that he still lives rent free in the press' heads despite them already getting everything they wanted. It's deranged.

E: Also seeing people compare this to Cummings, choosing not to see the difference between a slightly too large gathering and taking a family outing with symptoms.

Yeah, that.

Maybe he broke the rules by not automatically leaving the table mid-conversation when two more people showed up, raising the number to 7, but it's not "driving 30 miles to test your eyesight" level of abnormal human behaviour, but the press can't seem to let go of any opportunity. You won, your idiot manchild is crashing the country, get over it.

it would be uncharitable to point out that the mask in shops rule dates back to late July, more than 3 weeks ago.

If your own son leads regular news briefings about the rules I don't think you have an excuse for not knowing the rules.

Depends where he was. In Wales they didn't become compulsory until 14th September.

Not in defence of Spaffer Snr but to show how it can get confusing when the news publicizes rules for England as if they are UK wide when they're not - gets especially confusing round here where the border between England and Wales snakes in and out between villages so drive down the same road and you're in Wales, under Welsh rules, a mile further on and it's England and English rules and another mile down the same road it's back in Wales again.

Lots of people in the locality live in England/Wales, shop in Wales/England, have a GP in Wales/Englad, have to go to hospital in England/Wales, have family a mile away with different socializing rules.

If you live in a house and own books you are a 'champagne socialist'.
If you don't live in a house and have nothing you are exhibiting 'the politics of envy'.
In the eyes of the right, there is no one who can justify being a socialist.

In the words of Senator Gracchus: "I don't pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to be a man for the people."

Gracchus : Fear and wonder, a powerful combination.
Falco : You really think people are going to be seduced by that?
Gracchus : I think he knows what Rome the UK is. Rome The UK is the mob. Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome the UK is not the marble of the senate, it's the sand of the coliseum. He'll bring them death - and they will love him for it.

The rule of 6 exemption for religious ceremonies, which a wake could qualify as, is only in venues with social distancing measures (where you can spend money) such as a pub or restaurant and you have to stay in tables of 6 and not move between. In a home you can only have 6 people in total. The wake thing is rubbish and Corbyn himself isn't using it. He hosed up and hes apologised. He might get fined 200quid I guess.
