DS statement on Cummings is shameful

Basically I am sceptical about how terrible this could be to get for all of us - the mild illness stuff has been dropped as not helpful to the general lock us all up thing.

Regardless as a law abiding person I've stuck to the rules.

Which I thought meant you had to self isolate if you had symptoms and no, you couldn't go somewhere easier. If you had kids you all stayed in together, relied on deliveries or the local council support schemes and 111 if it was bad.

So I'm sickened by the knot tying in getting Cummings off the hook.

Absolutely disgusting out and out lying by Grant Shapps, I am agog.

lilgreen · 23/05/2020 16:26

Applauding these journos ! Absolutely not letting them off the hook!!!Grin

The80sweregreat · 23/05/2020 16:26

Safeguard your parents. Do not send potentially infected children to them.
Why are they getting away with this and being defended?

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:26

Which guidance said disregard it ?

DC was found by the police in his father's house.

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:27

I won't repeat the guidance again.

Because it doesn't exist?

Yes JH has actually said "the guidance" and said it's not referring to this case.

OldLace · 23/05/2020 16:27

Here we go: Harries: 'you self isolate at home, and your family with you'

Shapps confirms Johnson knew that Cummings traveled to Durham

they are wriggling away. I've lost all respect for Harries.

lilgreen · 23/05/2020 16:27

Practical steps to infect the elderly. Yeah right.Hmm

onesmalldog · 23/05/2020 16:27

I don't get 'he behave legally'.

He went against the lockdown rules but as far as I know these are not ''laws'?

lilgreen · 23/05/2020 16:27

Shame on her!

The80sweregreat · 23/05/2020 16:28

Angry angry angry ! 😡
Why can they get away with this complete bs?

Port1aCastis · 23/05/2020 16:28

The absolute waffle coming from schapps is laughable

onesmalldog · 23/05/2020 16:28

*behaved!

SansaSnark · 23/05/2020 16:28

They've misjudged the public mood very badly.

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:28

Hmm they know a lot. He stayed in the same place. Not the same place as his family.

The80sweregreat · 23/05/2020 16:29

Harris is defending their indefensible here!

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 23/05/2020 16:29

The lockdown rules are not the law. He did not break the law. He pissed all over the guidance because he's an entitled prick.

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:29

Oh Jenny.

If you’re well enough to drive to Durham from London(5+hrs) then you’re well enough to look after a child.

But if you are a senior government advisor you haven't got time to look after a child - working or ill, he obviously needed outside help.

GrimmsFairytales · 23/05/2020 16:29

Stop bleating on about the 4 year old.

Many many parents have had to struggle on, as the guidance said if you have symptoms you MUST stay home. It never mentioned driving to another house to get childcare.

And bullshit about JH not knowing the specific details about the case.

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:29

But you could be fined. And we were all privy to seeing police out on the streets

Bullshit
Bullshit and even more Bullshit coming from No.10s briefing
Plus absolute Bullshit

Everytimeref · 23/05/2020 16:30

So Harries is a political puppet too. She has been told what to say.

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2020 16:30

The sister and the niece - they know a lot .
