DS statement on Cummings is shameful

[SouthWestmom]

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.

I'm going to have to turn off in a minute, this twat isn't good for my blood pressure.

Anyone still watching ? Shocking

Can we, his paymasters, expect a measure of honesty
no, he's defensive and sarcastic when confronted
weasel's gonna weasel...

Dan is clearly in someone's pocket. His reputation is now going the same way

Tea, go and see her! Why not?
It's a free for all now

Has shattered the lock down so spectacularly its almost as if it was planned. Does the government just wants us to hurry up and get herd immunity all over with so are now backtracking and giving us reason to go out? its all very strange! That's what I think

What he did was WRONG! 😡
Why defend that !? Why ?

This interviewer is excellent. Good it is being said.

Wow - this is good TV for 5pm on a Saturday

Can we, his paymasters, expect a measure of honesty,

Don’t be daft. We’re not their paymasters. They’re running the government in order to make policies to ensure they can hold on to or increase their already vast wealth. They don’t need the salaries we pay for.

Yes: if there is a surge of people going out this bank holiday weekend, then it makes any resistance about opening up schools seem pointless doesn't it? That suits the Govt very well right now.

It's ok D C is keeping his job!
That's ok then ☹️

Yep @OldLace nailed it.

Typical Tories, up each other's bums. They could commit murder & spin it to look like a picnic.

Id like to see research on numbers in Durham. Its horrendous to think it was ok for him to take it up there. Why cant they just say he panicked and made a mistake.

I cannot believe this utter bullshit excuse for breaking the rules. As a lone parent I've somehow managed to care for DC whilst suffering norovirus, flu, food poisoning and gallstone attacks but 2 parents, one of whom was not unwell can't care for one child or order shopping online? And then to say he didn't actually use his parents for childcare?? Lockdown's over as far as I'm concerned. We can all do whatever the fuck we want now people. All those people, lone parents and otherwise struggling to care for theirselves nevermind their children and it turns out we could have all just popped off to family even if they live hundreds of miles away and all whilst suffering covid symptoms. I think others might be right, all part of the bigger plan, surely no-one is going to listen to the government anymore?

There is no way they drove all that way without needing a toilet stop with a 4-y-o. Surely they went to a services at some point?

Agreed.

I really hope this doesn’t make people take lockdown less seriously

I'm disgusted with this. Im sure people have struggled with coronavirus with young children to look after when they could possibly have had help from family. He needs to go.

Sensible thing to do.

What else should he have done? Both got sick and called SS to care for their child? Got relative to drive same distance to care for child?

It’s complete bullshit, how do they think everyone else manages when they have children?.

Sensible thing to do.

Ah yes driving 260 miles whilst one of you is contagious is the very definition of sensible.

Exactly begonia they should have had people travel to provide care. The s the rules.
