Thanks, Pip. The trick is to deactivate all other ad blockers leaving Ublock Origin operating on its own,
Good one.

I don't recollect their being allegations of any Christmas lunch parties. Clearly, that would be against the rules.

No-one’s dancing or singing. They look like they are working to me.

Were they working whilst doing the Christmas Quiz that Johnson was reading out the questions to them?
(waits for OB to insist they were multi-tasking, or that all the questions were "work related"…  )

If Starmer can have a beer with colleagues on his break, I don’t see why the PM shouldn’t choose to indulge in a quiz during his break.
To my knowledge, participating in an online quiz was not against the Covid rules. Are you scraping the barrel,or what?

He's underneath it now 
When i worked for VM all our meetings started with a quiz and there was always food .at xmas there was silly jumpers /hats /tinsel/a raffle,we also had meetings at various pubs, i think some people must have worked at some pretty crap places or they just have a rod up their arse about 1950s rules.

I wonder occasionally whether some of them have ever been employed at all. I wouldn’t have them on my payroll!

If they worked for me they would find their arse bouncing down the car park after the first week.

Was that during the Lockdown?
I worked for Jones Cable, BCM, Encom, and contracted with a number of other Cable Companies - we often had work meetings in pubs, but we weren’t in the middle of a Pandemic then, so your proposition lacks both substance, accuracy, and relevance…

So that’ll be a "No, it wasn’t work related", then…
Pretty sure the Laws and Regulations that were promulgated and passed by Johnson didn’t have a paragraph stating -
9 C (3) ii
If you’re on a break, ignore all previous references to only undertaking essential work-related activities
With that rationale, you’ve not only scraped the barrel, you’ve gone through the bottom of the barrel, and dug so deep you’ve come out in the Pacific Ocean south of New Zealand…

Are you ok, Hugh?
It was work related. When I last looked, the Working Time Regulations stated that every employee working 6 hours or more was entitled to a break. What was he supposed to do, sit there and twiddle his thumbs while he ate his jam sandwiches? If he chose to participate in an an online quiz, I think you are being overly enthusiastic if you interpret the rules in such an inflexible way.
I say again, the police have accepted Sir Keir Starmer’s beer with others on his break, so go figure.

Never mind Starmer - you were the one who repeatedly told us no laws had been broken. Now we know they were broken by at least 20 people.
Will you now do the honourable thing and resign?

In the light of Spiderplant's remarks in the Coronavirus thread addressed to OB, this might be a good time to resurrect this discussion.
Baited breath as to whether or not Boris broke the law!
