I swear at one point he said 'when the PM and I were in bed Ill' it made me think they were literally in bed together! Possibly they were.

It was responsible, and good parenting, to have all the family in the car for the practice drive .

I think people need to stop attacking and hurling abuse at him.

Whether you agree with what he did or not, there is no need for it.

LonginesPrime · 25/05/2020 16:53

Thing is, no-one gives a shit whether individuals think they're behaving reasonably - it's the fact that Downing Street are condoning his actions which is the problem.

It feels like DS have completely missed the point on this.

lyralalala · 25/05/2020 16:53

His house was a target and he felt his family were in danger, but he also did everything he could to get back asap...

Complete contradiction

Catmaiden · 25/05/2020 16:53

Both Laura and Robert look pretty unimpressed,

SmokedGlass · 25/05/2020 16:53

He was asked twice by LK for an apology and was he sorry
Slimy bugger skirted round it

Shifty git

Aridane · 25/05/2020 16:53

@Bluntness100

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

BikeRunSki · 25/05/2020 16:53

Why wasn’t DC tested as soon as BoJo got ill?

Shefliesonherownwings · 25/05/2020 16:53

I hope Beth Rigby asks him some proper questions.

ChicCroissant · 25/05/2020 16:53

He's said he wasn't in Durham on one particular date, has he actually said he hasn't been back there since?

Port1aCastis · 25/05/2020 16:53

Why the fuck should there be one rule for this chancer and another rule for the rest of us

Nearlyalmost50 · 25/05/2020 16:54

If he was a security risk, why was he driving to Barnard Castle with dodgy eyesight? Stay at home means stay at home. Even if you accepted his argument to move to Durham, they had to make that their home. And stay in it.

I can't watch any more, I'm going out. It's pathetic, I do agree with Bluntness he should never have been allowed to address the nation, he should have been sacked by Boris and we all could have moved on.

LiveintheNow · 25/05/2020 16:54

Exceptional circumstances... having small children, does not seem exceptional

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 25/05/2020 16:54

Hmmm didn't know covid affected eyesight that's a new one.
If the wife recovered so soon, why couldn't she drive back (therefore no need to go to Barnard Castle)

BirdieFriendReturns · 25/05/2020 16:54

And he’s still not apologised.

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 25/05/2020 16:54

Drove for half an hour with dodgy eyesight and found himself 30 miles away???

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/05/2020 16:54

Apparently it was his mum's b.day. wonder if he took a present???

CandlesBlanketsandTea · 25/05/2020 16:55

This is nearly as bad as Prince Andrew saying he didn't sweat.

Aridane · 25/05/2020 16:55

Oh I like Robert

Geepee71 · 25/05/2020 16:55

Can they blast out Abba and ask him about the party he allegedly attended in his parents garden?

Bluntness100 · 25/05/2020 16:55

But he is home now @Bluntness100 so is he not a target now?

He clearly is, have you seen the scrum outside his home?

Honestly, agree or disagree that’s fine, but this is appalling the way that people are hounding this man and hurling abuse at him

It is pack mentality bullying. Christ and people on here object to bullying then get their pitch forks out and do it themselves.

Agree or disagree but hurling abuse is not ok.

MarshaBradyo · 25/05/2020 16:55

Inoneminute

Me too. Over explain, make it long.

He sounds less arrogant than I imagined

mbosnz · 25/05/2020 16:55

His house was a target, I can see why he did what he did

What about the women politicians that face rape and death threats daily - and don't hotfoot it in the middle of a pandemic lockdown whereby the Government (that he advises) has said not to leave home, and to self isolate if showing any symptoms?

If they can suck it up and survive why following the rules, why can't this ghastly little snowflake?
