G STAR RAM Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 1 hour ago, ariotofmyown said: Johnson and C*mmings relationship will be interesting after this. If your boss had been bragging about shaking hands with Covid sufferers in hospital, you'd be a bit fed up that you and the wife both caught it. Or if C*mmings had told Johnson to shake people's hands, then he might be a bit fed up seen as he had a pregnant wife at the time. They are clearly using Hancock as the whipping boy after infecting him too. I'm guessing the Chancellor had more sense than jumping in the same team bath/playing the biscuit game/whatever they were actually doing. Then you have one of the chief medical experts meeting up for some fun with a women who had a family to go back too. And to think many of these people were behind Brexit, a huge selling point been that the elites had lost touch with normal people outside of the Westminster/London bubble! Completely your prerogative but I tend to forget the rest of the points in a post when you try and do some completely irrelevant tentative link to Brexit.

The actual defence of the parents not being well enough to look after the children is fair enough in my opinion, but it's not good enough for Hancock to just leave that there. He must go on and explain:- (a) why the official guidance was not updated to tell parents with symptoms to find alternative childcare arrangements where possible and; (b) how this could possibly run alongside their goal of stopping the virus being transmitted between households If these 2 things cannot be answered then it is clear this defence is being used to try and get Cummings off the hook.

I would add though, government policy has been labelled as too slow to lockdown and criticised for trying to keep schools open (herd immunity or not). So they flouted laws /rules almost involuntarily forced on them too. Minor point, but they were hardly evangelical about the rules in the first place so the hypocrisy personally doesn't grate as much as it could.

The Secretary of State whose job is to establish the guidelines, which at the time was that anyone with COVID-19 should not leave the house, and self isolate. He has made himself look an absolute tool posting this defence, most probably at his boss’s behest. I wonder which poor smuchk is being schooled at the moment for the 4 o’clock briefing.

For what it’s worth I don’t like arch remainer Starmer either It will be interesting to see what happens at the next PMQs when Boris gets cross-examined by Sir Keir Starmer , especially as he will not have many Hooray Henrys in the background to do the usual cheering, whooping and making noises. Which poor toady will he send out to tell Parliament all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only would we potentially be fearing for our lives but we'd also be frantically trying to make arrangements to ensure our family and pets were looked after in our absence. Exactly - and you're not even a very highly-paid political adviser at the heart of the British government. He must have been utterly petrified when he realised that his only option was to drive 260 miles to Durham. Literally no other course of action open to him?

1of4 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Today's coronavirus briefing appears to now include the government's transport policy. I hope the BBC don't ask any unrelated questions. Wouldn't want to see certain posters getting irate with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The defense for Dominic Cummings needing to get childcare doesn't work for me. If the rest of the country isn't allowed, what makes him so special? Is it a case of do as I say and not as I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
