00:00People are dying alone. People are not allowed to go to funerals.
00:03People are agonisingly observe the rules.
00:05You have told us that people will die if we don't observe the rules.
00:08And here is your private secretary writing to over a hundred people,
00:14inviting them to a party in the Downing Street Garden.
00:16Sorry, hang on a second.
00:17People can't understand why you wouldn't be paralytically apologetic about that.
00:22Because, and actually, I was at the time, if you remember what happened.
00:26But now you're saying, oh, it wasn't a big deal, I shouldn't have appointed.
00:29If you look at what, if you, the reason the Downing Street Garden was used was because
00:35it was, it was thought to be a much safer environment and we had to maintain Disney.

00:51Well you weren't, you were inviting a hundred people to the garden, it's madness.
00:55That was, that was outside.
00:56I really, really don't think that those officials thought that they were setting out to break the
01:02rules.
01:03But they were breaking the rules.
01:04They thought that they were doing something, they were working round the clock.
