lockdown was ended with the public refusing to comply.

Because the Tory government was repeatedly shown to be flat out ignoring their own rules. The rules they came up with, told everyone to follow, and then turned around and had numerous parties which ignored every single thing the public had been told to do.

This meant people missed funerals, hospital bedside last moments with relatives, and any form of socialising outside of what were little else than arbitrary group sizes.

Hell even the Queen ended up following them as shown when she was sitting, masked, by herself at her husband's state funeral. And it would be revealed the same Tory government had been partying into the early hours on the same morning of that funeral.

That is why the public stopped complying, the lying and hypocrisy from the ones in charge who made up the rules everyone was meant to be following. For months after those in government would drag their heels over admitting if anything had actually happened.

This is still going on this week with Boris Johnson being grilled over whether he lied about events during lockdown.

Deflection and dismissal of any and all accusations there were gatherings, meetings, parties, and other events that went on only to be repeatedly proven lying further because the newspapers who were carrying the stories were intentionally drip feeding the accusations over days to give those accused more than enough time to dig a hole of more lies before evidence would be published showing the rules had been broken. There were pictures taken at many of these events, officially taken and paid for with public spending money. That's how fucking stupid the Tory government is right now.
