a way to thank staff. we have yet to find out the youm come of the investigation. but if that's true, or even if he just attended, this was a moment where people in hospital were dying alone because no friends, no family were allowed to go in and see them. so people were grieving alone. they couldn't go to funerals of their nearest and dearest. so the fact that with such flippantsy this was sent, it is hypocritical. that is one way of reading the situation. and to be given the facts, it is hard not to. the other option is that the prime minister didn't understand his own rules or forgot them. and that, frankly looks like idiocy. he may not realize he was at a party, as was suggested, contempt, hypocrisy or naivete and idiocy.
