    As not all of them are young and healthy they clearly don't know private hospitals don't have HTU/ICU beds......

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
