Paris – one rule for the rich, another for everybody else?

"French police have launched an investigation into alleged clandestine fine dining and parties in Paris, revealed in an undercover TV report."

"French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin ordered the probe, saying such gatherings, breaching Covid lockdown rules, would be "totally unacceptable".

A private TV channel, M6, tweeted the undercover film, with the description "caviar, champagne, top chefs' menus and no masks allowed".

France is now in its third lockdown."

No doubt the same will be taking place in a number of UK venues.

Some are more equal than others to paraphrase a well-worn cliché.

Probably not unless any of them spread coronavirus and then it does affect others in the world.
Also it's very galling when I've been almost imprisoned in my house since mid-February, not seeing friends and family, but they can just do what they please, allegedly.

Yeah I agree its very unfair on the rest of us who have obeyed the rules to the letter. But then, many people have just gone right ahead and done what they liked really, haven't they?
