Did he play a part in the Alderley Edge spike in infections, directly or indirectly?
The comment churlishly implies that this small group could be responsible for the increase in local cases.
Presumably the writer believes that one or more of the Councillor and the others involved had Covid-19 and spread it widely, by turning on the lights?
Or is it perhaps a case of political and or personal prejudice?
I suggest the writer should provide evidence for this rather ludicrous accusation or an unreserved apology.

Anyone who sees a 'Dominic Cummings' or a 'Margaret Ferrier' flouting the covid rules and takes that as a green light to do likewise is surely just looking for an excuse to be as selfish and irresponsible as them.
If you care about your fellow man, stay within the rules. No ifs, no buts. It’s not about you.
I’m still waiting for an adult answer from him, meanwhile his hanger on’rs try to deflect. When are we going to get an investigation? If he has nothing to hide, what’s the problem?
Remember when you were growing up and Mum used to say “do as I say, not as I do?” That’s how you treat children, not the electorate.
