Someone on another forum suggested Boris won't last long. I'd love this to be true! However...

Or we could call it The Dom Cummings Fanclub. All those who idolise him. They so desperately want to be just like him and do exactly what he does.

How long before the retired teacher who clicked Dummings in Barney gets accused of being a labour activist?

He already has been. He's also been made into a villain as he's apparently 71, so should have been at home shielding. The irony was lost on the idiots who posted such tripe.

I think I'll write to my (conservative) MP pointing out what a gift it is to the opposition. Their leader insults parents who managed to keep to the rules when they were sick and everyone who stayed away when their relative was dying.

Eugh don't be so disgusting, we don't cough here. We lick every surface, and the faces of those we pass on our annual trip to Durham. Wink

Thanks for the new thread. Still reeling from the briefing, the bloke is a dick.

Don’t think being 71 on its own qualifies you to be shielding though?

I think being over 70 puts you in the vulnerable group @SabrinaThwaite , so probably advised not to dance to Abba with someone with symptoms or recent known contact with someone who has tested positive ?

If this retired teacher is 71 he probably prefers the Beatles!
Number plate recognition cameras would sort this out surely?
They do exist.

You are allowed out for exercise even if over 70 I believe provided you are social distancing - or perhaps he had a medial appointment.

Just to clarify (for no particular reason other than I want to) that barnard Castle isn't a castle. The castle is ruins, very interesting, but basically a field. The town is pleasant enough but nothing will have been open - when we went we struggled to find a toilet and that was in normal times.
