Film at 11:00.
They didn't make laws that specified they only applied to the public and not themselves. They made laws that applied to everyone, that severely limited everyone's freedoms, then broke them.

We're not talking about a member of government getting out of a parking ticket.
They were having parties while they had the country in a lockdown. And the head of gov't was by all accounts at some of them. And it's not the first time this kind of thing has been found out. So there's a bit of a straw-camel's back thing going on here. People are sick of this shit happening over and over and over.
Don't assume Ong and I are representative of the entire population of the UK either, as if 50% are outraged by this and 50% don't care. It's been in the news for 10 days straight now, so obviously it's striking a chord with people here in general.
