So it begins… all of the office parties have been cancelled in most major cities. A friend of mine in events is having a nightmare getting a refund from the venue due to the last minute cancellation, and because the Gov didn’t actually tell people to cancel anything, venues are arguing with offices over it. They should have just said a straight up “cancel the parties” because they’re ruining the hospitality industry anyway.
everyone loses out except Boris and co! This affects everyone except them in their cozy offices on 80k a year!
thase scaremongering headlines and press conferences are so beyond bloody stupid. Just get on with it. A virus will mutate. We’re no doubt going to be shut down again. More jobs, businesses and livelihoods lost.
And what about the pay for the staff who run pubs and event venues when they’re not needed? Oh yeah, forgotten about and left to have no money over Christmas. Feel so sorry for everyone affected by this.
