Bojo doesnt want the "hymn sheet" held together, he wants the public to break the rules so as he has his "scapegoat" to blame

We followed the science, we told you to social distance, but you disregarded the warnings we gave you, now we have thousands dying in a second wave that has absolutely NOTHING to do with us sending everyone back to work and school far too early

From what I've read I'd like to congratulate the editors of The Guardian / Observer and The Sunday Mirror for flushing this all out. On your bike Dom.

Tory MP Steve Baker saying Cummings "must go" after alleged lockdown breach
When the Prime Minister announced Britain was going into lockdown two months ago he gave the apparently unequivocal instruction that we must all “stay at home”.

Within 24 hours, Dr Jenny Harries, the deputy chief medical officer for England, outlined possible exceptions to that rule, including how ill parents with a small child created “exceptional circumstances”.

Now, after it has emerged Dominic Cummings and his wife travelled 260 miles with their son to stay at a home near his extended family in Durham despite having coronavirus symptoms, allies of Boris Johnson’s special advisor are highlighting that advice to justify his trip.

At the Downing Street press conference on March 24 Dr Harries said parents who are ill and may not be able to look after a child created “exceptional circumstances” where family members could be called upon to help....

View from the UK.

The news is full of whingeing dickheads at the moment. They are the minority.

What Cummings did is what most people are doing. He used his brain.

Politics of envy. Because he is in the fortunate position to have parents with 2 homes and a successful support system, he is being pilloried.

Maybe if some of those whingers had got off their fat arses and worked hard before Covid hit, they too could have had a similar situation.

More good news from the UK

If you don't want your body parts knicked on death you now have to opt out.

Matt Hancock hints at compulsory vacination if one is found.

Mc Donalds drive throughs are starting to open up.

The weather has been great for the past 2 months.

I have just received my self employment handout from the Government, good ole Boris, looking after his key citizens.

If so, England is in deep ----. I have read otherwise:
Millions of people have complied with this guidance at huge personal cost. A boy died without his mother by his side; people have been unable to spend time with relatives who have terminal illnesses. There have been missed funerals; babies born who are yet to meet their grandparents; single parents with Covid-19 who have struggled to care for their children while sick ...

Of course this lockdown has involved unbearably difficult decisions; of course parents have fretted what will happen to their children were they to become seriously ill. But many will have decided that they must comply with the government guidelines.
And:
In shielding Cummings, ministers are revealing an ugly truth: they are willing to undermine the government’s public health messaging and its entire pandemic strategy – to risk people’s lives – in order to save their colleague’s job. It is a disgrace.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... a-disgrace

The British public and government have a lot of work to do in the next few months. If they fail to do this work, elderly Britons are going to be house-bound for years. Perhaps for the rest of their lives.

He and everyone else knew that travelling 260 miles was against the law that he was involved in setting up..
His wife had the virus FFS and he still broke quarantine regulations

Its a pretty abysmal state of affairs if you cant find someone in London (where he has family) to deliver food to him during lockdown

BTW there are now 3 Tory MP's publicly calling for Cummings head

Update a 4th has just crawled out of the woodwork

Dominic obviously benefited from being a two home, possibly two car family. Lots of them about these days.

Meanwhile, residents of Hackney, the London borough with the highest density of tower block dwellers (ie. no garden or balcony) were being harassed by a very reluctant police for going to the park on a Sunday after they had self-isolated for probably more than seven weeks and were still healthy with no recognized symptoms.

So as far as Dominic is concerned, it's sometimes good to not be a pleb.

The new definition of have and have not: have a house and garden and have not.

And and SUV helps.

Going .......... Going ...........

Tory MP now tweets saying he withdraws his previous tweet supporting Cummings yesterday..

Obvious now they were all told to tweet support rather than say what they believed should happen

WHEN (not If) he goes, further questions must be asked of all the morons that supported him like a load of sheep

Bojo has to come out of hiding now and face the daily briefing tonight .. he cant hide in the fridge forever =;

Those that actually care about right and wrong (obviously not some on here [-X )

Loads of MP's (all parties) who are saying their "Inbox" are full of messages requesting them to take action

The honest media and even the dishonest ones like the Mail & Spectator
