Gervais did not hold back!

River Gervais has slammed “rule-breaking” Tories amid news of numerous Downing Street parties, shindigs, business meetings - or whatever you want to call them. The 60-year-old comedy veteran branded Prime Minister Boris Johnson as acting like “Charlie Sheen” while the UK largely followed restrictions. Talking on a Twitter live stream, the After Life star said: “Do you know what the worst thing is? Apart from the pandemic and the devastation and the deaths and the strain on the health service and people losing their livelihoods. https://twitter.com/SueTaylor_/status/1473241095354126342 “The worst thing is the f****ing c**** in charge do what they want. “I see all these people saying all the parties they were having, and people saying that was the day I couldn’t see my mum in hospital, or I couldn’t go to my dad’s funeral. “Because the posh, privileged people in charge were acting like f***ing Charlie Sheen. I mean really f***ing rubbing salt in the wound. I don’t get political, but they are all s***.” https://twitter.com/UKGastroDr/status/1472841398483402755 Talking more broadly about the state of the government, he added: “When are we going to stop taking ‘went to Eton’ as a qualification to run the country? I mean f***ing hell. “So that’s why I’m doing this as well, because I’ve noticed all around there’s a lot of annoyance and frustration. Totally justified as well.” https://twitter.com/dbithellrec/status/1472658800607911943 Gervais is but one of millions demanding answers about rule-breaking from the very people who designed the rules. The excuses only seem to be getting more outrageous. Most recently, deputy PM Dominic Raab claimed that images were of a business meeting as people were in suits. https://twitter.com/johnlbellblog/status/1473583794095591427 With no paperwork, files or business-related iconography in sight, many have questioned how long they can avoid the blatant truth.
