Appropriate Drinks?

Again, it doesn't look like a party to me. A handful of people sitting safely outside in small groups in their private workplace.

From the article -
The rules in the first lockdown were not very specific about workplaces, in part as so few offices were open. But they did say that in-person meetings should take place only if “absolutely necessary”, and that if that was the case, a 2-metre distance should be kept at all times.

I don't see Matt Hancock playing Twister.

Thank you for lowering the tone!

He prefers bury the sausage apparently!

How many meetings involve food and alcohol with the Boss's wife and child invited?

That sounds like any contractor meeting to me

Loads of meetings involve food and drink. When it's also his private garden, why wouldn't his wife be there... I don't know the child had much choice given they were very young.

You were allowed to see people in your private garden then anyway. People really should realise they're being manipulated by the media towards a certain outcome by all this, though I'm not clear if the media are driving this or are themselves being manipulated.

Rabb said it was a work meeting.

It is either a work meeting or a private gathering. Which is it?

Either way they broke Covid regulations at the time on either the distance between the people or the number of people there.

If it was a WORK meeting, then why are there no laptops, phones, notepads, whiteboards, or any other ways for recording work?
If he had not used the word WORK and said it was just a meeting (as per the previous poster), then it's a SOCIAL meeting.
...but we need to remember that the BBC are to blame for this. The BBC must not report on anything truthful that makes Boris & his den of thieves look bad - even if every other source does.
Clearly manipulated images, because they put Boris & co in a bad light. No way could they be true.

Not having phones present is weird whether it's a meeting or a social TBH!

I'll say again though, who do you think is behind this, all these pictures and revelations just happening to all come to light at the same time even though they span over half a year? What is their agenda, what are they trying to make you think?
If you don't realise you're being manipulated, they're doing a good job. Reminds me of the James Bond film though I forget which, where the guy was controlling the world news.

My half-joking thought is this could be driven by anti-lockdown elements, trying to discredit any message that encourages people to follow restrictions and guidance. We know there are a lot of them in powerful positions, and where do we think all these photos originated if not from within #10?

Should I get my tin-foil out, or is this reasonable?

Dominic Cum-stains is almost certainly the leak.

Imagine a government that arrogant?
