Coming to? It's been a shower of sh*t for decades It's the illusion that anything will be different under any other party that I'm surprised still catches people out.
100%
To add to this I'm also once again fascinated by the optics from this "scandal" More of the UK public is finally willing to accept they've had their pants pulled down and they've been made mugs of, a good start I suppose,
but rather than thinking "Well, if things were as bad as all the fear and messaging they parroted to us back then why would they be all meeting up for Christmas?"
Most seem to have gone for simple blind outrage that they "didn't follow rules" Without any further thought or period of reflection as to why, and now support another round of the very same liberty stealing policies.
The reason IMO is just cope, people would seemingly rather believe the rules politicians parroted but subsequently ignored themselves were "real" And that it was the "right thing" To follow them, rather than also admit to themselves they followed a load of junk science/politics, if you take the time to look back, most of which aged like milk in the sun anyway.
Edit- a more eloquent take here,
