Whereas the glamorous gathering appeared to interrupt the UK’s ‘rule of six’, the group tried to get across the coronavirus restrictions by spanning throughout two separate tables on the swanky institution.
Sky Information has been one of many foremost pushers of Covid-Hysteria. Usually I wouldn’t give a toss about what Kay Burley did on her birthday. But when she broke the rule of 6 she is a raging hypocrite. However then we all the time knew the foundations don’t apply to the elite.
