Show Notes
On this special episode of the Stolen Goodbyes podcast, people who lost their loved ones to Covid 19 in the first wave of the pandemic give their view on the Partygate revelations surrounding Boris Johnson and his government and Johnson's so-called 'Freedom Day' of 24 February 2020.
Johnson is currently refusing to say whether he will resign if he is fined by the police for breaking Covid 19 lockdown laws with a string of parties at Downing Street. Since the party revelations emerged, Johnson's story has changed from claiming all guidance at No10 was followed to him admitting he attended parties but thought they were work events and were therefore not against the rules.
The Covid 19 bereaved intimately recount what they have been through in the past two years: The Stolen Goodbyes, not having sight of their loved ones once they passed, not being able to dress them or have a lock of their hair, no wake, funeral, or memorial, not being unable to hug a loved one due to restrictions, a total lack of support in isolated grief. While they lived and continue to live this nightmare, Downing Street staff enjoyed party time, again and again.
Guests on this episode are: Linsey Simmonds who lost her father Kevin Morans on May 3, Eileen McNamee lost her mother Anna Shewan on May 21, Jane Smith who lost husband Gof on April 4, Sally Gardiner who lost husband of four months Trevor on April 27, Carole Caudwell who lost her mother Irene Cain on April 15, and Debbie Lewis who lost her father Barry on April 5.
