I preach water, they drink wine! British government jokes during hard lockdown: Cynical what they wrote in the invitation – NEW TIME

This came after an e-mail was issued last May in which Prime Minister Martin Reynolds invited more than a hundred colleagues to a party at a time when rallies had been banned.. The AFP news agency reported, referring to the British media.

“After an extremely difficult period, it would be nice to take advantage of the nice weather and have a few drinks on Downing Street tonight, keeping your distance., “says the criticized invitation. In it, Reynolds added that guests should bring their own “boast” to the celebration, which will begin at 6 pm.

The British Prime Minister is facing criticism in connection with several alleged unauthorized parties on Downing Street. For example, a photo of Johnson, his wife Carrie and other guests in the garden of the Prime Minister’s residence provoked outrage last year. According to Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab in December, it was not a party, but a working meeting.

Another scandal involved a video published by ITV News. He captures high-ranking Downing Street employees joking about a Christmas party that allegedly took place at a time of severe anti-AIDS restrictions. The record was reportedly made on December 22, 2020 – four days after the alleged celebration.

Sue Gray, the second permanent secretary of the government, who was in charge of investigating the parties during the lockdown on Downing Street in London, is expected to include the latest allegations in the investigation. The government cabinet had previously denied violations of anti-pandemic rules.
