Why the hell has he got to apologise to people?

I actually agree he believed reasonably, but agree or disagree, believe him or not, attacking him and demanding he apologise is just awful.

It really is making in me uncomfortable. Beth rigby has went way down in my estimation. She’s acting like head mean girl

Geepee71 · 25/05/2020 16:57

Wow Beth is going for the jugular.

PerkingFaintly · 25/05/2020 16:57

He was worried that his eyesight made him dangerous to drive... so he went for a 30 min drive. WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD IN THE CAR.

Jolly good.

Inoneminute · 25/05/2020 16:57

Ooh he actually believes that we'll all understand now he's said his bit.

WinstonWolf · 25/05/2020 16:57

This reminds me of Alan Partridge's assertion that he picked up a traffic cone "to be sick into it" Grin

scatterolight · 25/05/2020 16:57

The media really look mental here. DC is coming across as a quietly spoken reasonable man and these questions to him have an obvious pitchfork agenda totally out of proportion to what he's done.

The media in this country truly are appalling.

mrsspooky · 25/05/2020 16:57

I think its a 9/10 for first page, then 1/10 once its on to the castle visit.
It is nice to see the journalists off their screens!

foxyknoxy30 · 25/05/2020 16:57

I think Beth is from sky

B0bbin · 25/05/2020 16:57

He still doesn't seem to get the fact that he had so many more options than the majority of ordinary people would have. Speaking about the different buildings of the farmhouse etc... he seems to be unaware that real people have been sacrificing so much and have simply had NO options and no support in this horrible situation.

Catmaiden · 25/05/2020 16:57

Even better follow up question from Beth! And DC blaming the media coverage won't go down well.

ludothedog · 25/05/2020 16:57

He is so caught. Waiting now for the proof of another trip out. Shifty, shifty!!!

As a single mum, who was diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection in March, but wasn't able to get a test, he can fuck off with his excuse about going to get help from mummy. I was I'll for 6 weeks with no help or support and my poor kid had to look after me. Thank fuck she didn't get ill.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/05/2020 16:58

I wondered that, @Aridane

SmokedGlass · 25/05/2020 16:58

Stutter stutter stutter,
He hasn’t got time to think of his answers as Beth Rugby fires some good questions at him
Still no apology

blodynmawr · 25/05/2020 16:58

Go Beth

everythingthelighttouches · 25/05/2020 16:58

Nothing has changed!

It is as the media reported.

He drove up to Durham with an ill wife who could have had COVID19. He was not ill.

Nicknacky · 25/05/2020 16:58

If he were just to even act humble, that would make a big difference to public opinion. Don’t be so stubborn.

stretchedmarks · 25/05/2020 16:58

Why on earth would he apologise?

It's not his fault half the country are too stupid to use their own common sense. This witch hunt is laughable.

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 25/05/2020 16:58

Where does she work? She is very good

Bluntness100 · 25/05/2020 16:58

Was he actually a target for abuse outside his home before this

Yes he was and has been for quite some time.

And Beth rigby can fuck right off. That’s shameful behaviour she’s displaying. Playing the popular card. People want me to crucify him so watch me go.

Haggisfish · 25/05/2020 16:58

Oh no-not in the street! Poor pet.

BoingBoingyBoing · 25/05/2020 16:59

You don't need to be a body language expert to see he is lying out of his arse here.
