Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

Majority or not, we still don’t need other distractions, but I understand what you’re saying.

I personally wouldn’t look forward to seeing Rees Mogg plodding in my direction...

There is no room they have a majority, those dissenters will be reminded of their meal ticket and will wet themselves

I agree that the majority will not be overturned, but there is always a possibility of ano confidence vote in the Tory Leadership.

We’re only 6 months in to a 5 year term, it’s not the government I want, but I do want the best for all the Country over that time.

Poor old BBC reporter, couldn't use the equipment so social distancing went out the window. Wonder if he gets the sack.

I feel Boris talked Brexit up, he should deliver it ... I am not sure there are others in that party who could lead it or would want to lead ( Gove being the exception.. but he struggles with the truth and is a bungling clown )

But those posts are aimed towards Johnson and Cummings and neither are on the forum where as your posts are aimed at the posters. Are you offended on behalf of Johnson and Cummins ?

just like this Tory shower in power its one rule for them and another for anyone else, this poster is no different, they can make snide digs and insult who they like, when the shoe is on the other foot, they don't like it and make a point of moaning about it as much as possible

 

[harpo_72]

So a ready made like for like replacement?

Who Gove? I dunno hasn’t he back stabbed everyone?

 

[harpo_72]

Ah better wind the anti Tory rhetoric back ...

I guess it would depend on who it was that was helping him. If it was a member of his own household then he hasn't done anything wrong.

what about if someone traveled 260 miles with the virus, but did it because they had child care issues IE the nanny had a day off, would that be OK?

When his IT guy switched off the mute button he made some dig "at least I haven't been permanently silenced" - what a dingbat!

Nepotism in the BBC, surly not, he was in the studio

People in my street have been turning up maskless in their droves today to meet friends and relatives. Air pollution is well up with all the barbecues going. From what I can hear the PM's dealings with Dominic Cummings are the last thing on their mind.

Looks like a Tory street then..

As I've already answered this but in summary he acted lawfully by breaking the law in traveling to drop off his child when there was no other option well apart from his sister just down the road.

He got a right telling off.. well I think that's what he told me to say

How do you know that his sister down the road is a suitable option? I certainly don't have any more to do with mine than I have to, and I know of others in similar positions.

Just because she is family does not automatically make her suitable.


For clarity for the pedants & trolls, this is not a defence of any actions Dominic Cummings may or may not have taken; I'd merely like to know why just because you share DNA with someone you're automatically on speaking terms with them.

Certainly a Tory area but without wishing to Labour the point they are being Liberal with their ignorance and belligerence.

 

[North Mimms]

Apart from all the lies and gaslighting and likely negative impact on public compliance with the rules, it just seems like a massive political blunder. This isn't going away and now Boris has linked his own credibility (such as it was) to Cummings. Bizarre.

I actually would have had more respect for Johnson if he'd said Cummings clearly broke the lockdown rules, but stuff it, he's staying.
How Boris managed his closing statement of "stay at home if you have symptoms" is beyond me.

I'm looking forward to hearing the former Director of Public Prosecution comment of the legal position.

I'm sure there would be many other options before a drive 260 miles defying the law.

Which "allegedly" he broke a further couple times without childcare involved , the pm side stepped that question.

I agree, someone in the No10 comms dept has really dropped a bollock here. Why didn’t they get in front of this straight away and say that they were aware of the Durham trip and the reasoning was the child issue. Instead there’s been a huge coverup which has made thing entire episode looking terrible (which it was).
