Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

I cannot see how he could be considered 'vital' to a project (selling Brexit) that is now complete and has moved to a completely different phase - implementation!

A different phase of the one project - Brexit !

Yet no one quotes the tory minister who broke the rules.

Just those nasty Labour ones.

Just even it up and sack everyone who broke the rules, maybe include EVERY man and woman who did!

 

[chrisd]

You can't be the CHIEF advisor to the government, break the rules the government is laying down for the rest of us and expect to keep your job.

Well it's looking more like you can! ?

No Chris, never advocated that, but certainly believe all those in a Public Office or Government Position should be held to a higher standard and some form of punishment(Large fine to NHS for example) should of been levied, regardless of Party affiliation.

And just to be boring and repeat myself, I don’t include cummings in that.

Just find everytime on here cummings is discussed the tories line up the Labour idiots without ever mentioning one of their own, the one who has been on TV telling us how to behave during the lockdown. Very hypocritical to me.

 

[chrisd]

Yes indeed. And that's one of the reasons the government's credibility is in the toilet which, in turn, is massively damaging to our chances of successfully dealing with this mess.

That's possibly a personal opinion Kaz and probably not shared right across this platform

Hypocritical politicians Paul , now that would be a novelty ?

Surely if he was considered to have breached the rules all they would have done is to issue the standard fine , this is not, as far as I understand, a court matter

I think they should have said nothing as he wasn’t pulled by police.
But if they are going to say anything at least make a decision given he confessed on live TV.

Haven't they said that they considered it a "minor" matter and would have only sent him back to the house had they stopped him ?

And some posters on here mate.

 

[clubchamp98]

Whatever you do, don’t mention Jenrick.

They have all proven a disregard for the rules.
But Cummings had a major part drawing them up.
But Boris has made Cummings bulletproof.
Politicians not behaving by the rules who would have thought it?

 

[chrisd]

And some posters on here mate.

Indeed !

In his condition ( eye sight)
That’s not doing their job.
If Cummings had told them that excuse at the time.
He had two months to come up with a better one .

If they did or didnt do their job I doubt a £60 fine would have been an issue to Cummings, and let's face it, he would have said that he had paid the price and that's that end of matter.

 

[SocketRocket]

Will anyone ever change their opinion on this matter?

That might have been the best outcome .
He would at least been treated like anyone else fined for a breach of the lockdown.
But he wasn’t caught at the time.
Especially the ones fined for driving.
But as it is even though he admitted it Live on tv,Boris has said everything he did was legal.
By shutting down the press the way he did today will make them worse imo.

I don’t think so.

 

[bluewolf]

Cambridge, amongst others, would be to differ...

"to repeat something written or spoken using different words, often in a humorous form or in a simplerand shorter form that makes the original meaning clearer"

I think Mr Khan failed on most counts.

My understanding of the use of “paraphrase” is that it demonstrates understanding. It doesn’t achieve anything. I’m happy to be corrected though as I don’t have a reference to back it up ??

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I don’t think so.

Yet to hear any reason to suggest why I should. You can put lipstick on a pig.................

You need to install Google.

Can make you appear ded clever ?

4 different approaches within UK, not just 2.
With the worst death rate per million in the whole world and the 2nd worst total deaths in the whole world, perhaps looking at different approaches to No.10s is not such a bad thing?
Lives could depend on it.

Am curious to know where you've pulled that from.
