Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

the most laughable part was Shapps claiming that Cummings never saw his family, and all his sister did was to leave food on the doorstep for them. are we really to believe that if that was all the support they required, there was no-one in London who could have delivered food to them?

The government stance is a total slap in the face for everyone who self-isolated at home with their kids.
 
I missed the briefing as I was busy retweeting Momentum tweets. Did they say which other lock down rules it is OK for government advisors to ignore but the rest of the public must obey?

That's a fairly classic riposte isn't it? "He did wrong but you're only complaining because you already oppose him."

He broke the rules/guidelines/law and needs to go for the government to have any credibility. Same as Ferguson and Calderwood had to go and I had no axe to grind with them.

You suggested the lockdown is over if the Government dont get the Public back onside quickly. I keep repeating that if he broke rules he should be treated the same way as anyone else but I believe your views on this are a little dramatic and loaded, you previously suggested the whole Cabinet should resign, isnt that rather a classic riposte.

Lockdown was over a long time before this story about yet another idiot came to light.

Yet another helicopter used to rescue an idiot who doesn't even understand tides and traveled 100 miles for the privilege.

Darwin Awards all around.

Great news. I'm booking a 4 ball to celebrate.

I sometimes question their competence and methods but this time well done the government for acting decisively and showing the rest of the world how to deal with a crisis. I bet New Zealand will be envious, Japan and South Korea will want to know just how we did it. And as for Germany, well suck it up Fritz, we've conquered Covid 19 and which means we can leave the EU knowing that as we are practically back to normal now and leaving the EU won't impact us at all. Are you watching Merkel, look who's in the driving seat in the negotiations now!!

Unfortunatly they are always with us.
I should be able to get to Lundy on this Lilo ?
 
The UK public have all got a 'get out of jail free' card now,
If stopped by the Polis over lockdown just make some poo up and then reference Cummings.

I know the UK Government have had some criticism over folk 'misunderstanding' lockdown rules in England but this really does take the biscuit.
 
I'm no political expert but I feel this is the moment which the government lost what confidence it had stored up from the great British public regarding dealing with the Covid crisis. Believe me, I have tried trusting them. I'm sure some Labour supporters will be happy that the government seemingly is becoming increasing out of its depth as it is a political opportunity for them. But as a non Tory voter myself, to be honest this does scare me a bit as any government that does not command the confidence of the majority of the nation in times of crisis is a liability. And as can be seen from a few other countries, political incompetence and stupidity does lead directly to more deaths.

So all of a sudden you want to be controlled by the rules applying to England, that's a first.

People have short memories in the main. It will all blow over when Agnes is sitting on the beach this Monday complaining about Gertrud being to close and why did they come all the way down the Bognor for their Fish & Chips.
