16 months since first shut down in this pandemic. Still not open at normal trading levels thanks to the most incredulously stupid guidance and rules. And STILL NO FINANCIAL HELP.
It’s appalling. #whataboutweddings
Seriously @BorisJohnson@PennyMordaunt this is now getting beyond a joke....either have the restrictions for every event or not at all, this is discrimination against weddings! Weddings are life events not just a weekend on the drink watching sport! #whataboutweddings
Oh for fucks sake. It’s just an absolute joke now.
Weddings still restricted to no dancing and masks for a sober sit down ceremonies.
The govt make decisions based on privilege and favouritism. Full stop.
@PennyMordaunt are you really going to stand for this? Appalling.
Can I get an award for discovering a new variant?
The #drinksReceptionVariant 🦠
Only at weddings it’s so clever ☢️ Raise a toast & you could be struck down immediately 🥂
However If you stand drinking at
{insert ANY sport here} it’s FINE though 🐎 #whataboutweddings 🙄
The seasonal wedding industry cannot survive another delay. The current restrictions are not acceptable. Today, alongside @Sacha_Lord and a other key associations & businesses @WAWofficialUK are putting the Govt on notice that we intend to take legal action.
#whataboutweddings
So whilst this was going on, we were creating risk assessment to find out how many #guests we can host at a #wedding, informing #couples that they have to have seated #drinksreceptions & #dancing is advised against?! Can you see why we’re frustrated as hell?! #whataboutweddings
Wimbledon, Ascot, Euros… Jollying around in Cornwall. Do @BorisJohnson Tories think this summer is a post GCSE piss up? While trying to secure their ‘gap-yah’ in Australia. That and nicking the cutlery from the G7 for shits and giggles #whataboutweddings
So this is allowed but guests leaving a table at my wedding to say hi to each other isn't.. Piss take.. @BorisJohnson you have failed this country #whataboutweddings
Conservative MPs you don’t have a duty to be loyal to your leader. You have a duty to represent your constituents. The hundreds of thousands of couples getting married are watching.
SPEAK UP.
#whataboutweddings
Whilst their "chums" can enjoy Wimbledon, high end production theatre and Ascot, many other sectors have had the plug pulled on them at the 11th hour.
We came together today, as promised, as one voice.
More to follow this week.
Look couples and businesses in the eye and tell them it’s fair?
Labour - wake up.
Conservative MPs - are you going to sit back and watch this happen?
It is a scandal. I’ve tried to be positive, and I am supporting people as best I can. But I’m appalled by this govt.
“Do as I say, not as I do” less than 24 hours after telling the wedding industry standing drinks receptions are banned… our prime minister hosts a standing drinks reception.
Just unbelievable behaviour. You really are trying to be hated at this point aren’t you @BorisJohnson 😡
On the day we reached the milestone of 30 million second doses given across the UK, the Prime Minister hosted NHS staff in the gardens of Downing Street to thank them for their extraordinary work in the vaccination rollout and in responding to the pandemic.
This.
Check your privilege.
I am sick of people telling me it’s not long. Every day of delay or continued restrictions is a nightmare for businesses impacted.

LOCKDOWN
The difference of perspective of those that have job/life security & those whose livelihoods have either been ruined or hang in the balance is truly depressing.
The airwaves are dominated by people who have nothing at stake telling everyone that does to just suck it up.
