Bellend.Please, just get a life, some of you guys. The rules were made to achieve a certain outcome, which was not to act like complete puddings and spread infection by closely cosying up. The numbers and distances were conservative, so that people didn't get together, have a few jars, and then start hugging and whatnot. None of that went on with the government, as far as I know. I'd happily have got together with mates on the quiet as long as I was sure they weren't stupid enough to be hugging and standing in large, close, groups. Equally as a manager of a small team before I retired, if I thought I could bend the rules to give them a good social evening, with minimal risk of infection, then I'd certainly have done so. If I'd have done it, I certainly can't condemn anyone else for the same thing . Nobody died from this, yanno.
People couldnt attend funerals due to the rules imposed that the people who imposed them didnt follow.
