Not that I think the consequences should end there....but I need to register my disgust somehow at the contempt Boris Johnson and the Government have shown for all of us.

I can't express how appalled I am by this, I know what my family has gone through and I have seen the hardships others have faced; and still kept to the rules for the sake of the public good. The Government's actions have shown how little respect and regard they have for us.

I do hope that others who feel similar outrage join in with this protest.

I live on the Lizard no fecker will hear me in London so I wont bother clapping like a twat to theScillies

I can't boo. I don't agree with jeering like that. I would like to publicly protest in some safe and physically distanced way though.

Are hrt is incapable of making a public statement without being seriously inconsiderate to their neighbours? I’m doing a silent protest to the door step protest. Anyone wanting to join me is welcome to, all you have to do is not be an arsehole by not making unnecessary noise. Welcome to join me on NHS clap silent protest as well.

Do you actually think Boris Johnson will care that you're embarrassing yourself in the street? That's why it's pointless.

I live on the Lizard so I won't bother clapping like a twat to the folks on the Scilly Isles ta! Bojo will not hear me I am too far away!!

You need a hard hat op if you dare to say anything remotely negative about a bloody Tory Party Member.

If boos aren't effective then it has to be that claps aren't effective. We can't have it both ways.

Honestly it’s like a massive Pile on, just a low example of bullying and a witch hunt.

Yes the guy did wrong, he went and stayed in a guest house on his parents property because he was concerned him and his wife would be incapacitated and he has an autistic child and was worrried about child care.

But this faux outrage and mass bullying has to stop, I mean booing on your fucking doorstep because Boris won’t fire the man for it. Really it’s time some folks got a grip.

No one's listening. We're clapping into the void to make ourselves feel better, those staff won't get improved working conditions. In the same way, if you boo, it will be into the void.

I'd assume your lone booing was some sort of weird meditation noise.
Brilliant!

I do not like the Tories but see no point in clapping and booing from where I live as no bugger will hear me

I can't boo. I don't agree with jeering like that. I would like to publicly protest in some safe and physically distanced way though.

A silent handstand on your doorstep for an hour will do it, I’m sure. If it really has to be a pointless public protest.

Good god no, and frankly I’m embarrassed for you and anyone else doing this. A public display of disgust would be a protest march or demonstration of some kind, not a few people booing on their doorstep where the person being booed will never even be aware of it.

Lockdown is turning people in to right nasty bastards
Wether you agree with the man or not you plan to stand there and boo him , is that not almost a form of bullying , I mean really it's childish

OP, use your energy in positive manner. Do something nice, not something nasty.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider I hate the Tories, I was a Corbyn supporter and I always vote for Labour. I just think the idea of booing is pointless and makes people look like idiots.

I never clapped either, also didn't see the point.

TBH I am well past caring what everyone thinks of me so have no interest in how we appear.

So you can think what you like of me I don't care, but don't call me childish please. I have spent 2 months working from home and caring for a severely disabled highly dependent DS while my DH (key worker) has gone out to work today, put himself at risk to serve the public.

We have stuck to the rules throughout to keep everyone safe, and have now been made to feel like mugs - and by our own Government. I will protest that in any & every way I see fit.

@bluntness100 I wonder how many of them doing it have not broke a single rule themselves I bet not many
It wasn't right what he did not this is just a a step too far , on another thread it mentions he on later taking questions ? Not sure how true it is

No thanks.

Glad he’s doing a statement however. Speak and then move on.

Normally I would take part in any protest march or demo but for obvious reasons that is not an option.

I will protest that in any & every way I see fit.

it's a free country. It will be embarrassing and pointless, but if it makes you feel better!

Op, lockdown was for a reason. It was to protect the nhs from being breached,

Yes this man went to his parents property as him and his wife has Covid and he’s an autistic child who needs a certain level of care. Yes Boris has assessed it and decided he won’t fire him for it.

It doesn’t mean anyone was a mug for following the lock down rules. We all did to one extent or another and it was successful.

Seriously, take a moment to think about what you’re actually writing.

@Livingtothefull how would you of coped if you had become ill with your ds ? I can understand being angry as I bet you had this concern
While I don't think it was right that he kept what he done from the public , I think we all might of liked to know there was this option
Booing on doorstep just seems a step too far
Write to your mp, write to dc even explaining your sacrifices etc but booing I'm sorry but I think it's all becoming borderline bullying

Do you think the guidelines were wrong then? Why do you feel like a mug?

Your neighbours and passers by will think you're an absolute tit.

You are being very silly and what has the fact you are staying at home with your DS got to do with anything? We are all at home with our children
