Let's (Truth) Twist Again (3)

[SouthWestmom]

Thread three for following the uproar at playing down the lock down and rewriting the rules.

Aargh, iPlayer has just cut out for me!

"I was in bad shape" so I drove 260 miles.

Fucking hell, someone take this man's license.

I've had the best part of a bottle of wine. Shall I drive to Newcastle to see how good my driving is?

Can't believe the 'we thought I would try driving to see if I could drive OK and just ended up in Barnard Castle on my wife's birthday, totally coincidentally'.

It didn't say you must stay at home in all circumstances

Err that is exactly what it said. It said if you or someone you live with have symptoms don't leave the house for any reason.

It's clear he is the person running the country, not the PM. I think he's more competent than Johnson, but it's worrying that someone who has not been elected has so much power. Who would have thought we would have an aide to the PM holding a press conference in the garden of No 10.

Losing it big stylee now.

THANKYOU! there is no other guidance.

His body language has completely changed. He’s mad

Son was tested but negative.

MW wasn't tested. Could have had it and went to hospital with the child.

He picked them up from hospital. No taxis blah blah. Eg, he KNOWS during an investigation it would come out he'd been in his car.

You're not telling me that he couldn't have spoken to someone other than Boris when he was thinking of going up north. He's so arrogant.

Great start by Jason Groves.

Now and again, he forgets to keep that little victim crack in his voice going, and his normal voice kicks in.

The country is fucking angry. I am always angry but Have upgraded that anger to fucking livid! Anybody got a rope ?

Surely escaping the risk of harm means you can go out if the house is on fire or similar, not that your kid might be neglected by having to watch Peppa Pig non stop for a couple of days.

FGS the LENGTHS this government is going to to save this man. It's absolutely unbelievable

That is exactly what the guidance said! You do have to just sit there!

I honestly feel sorry for him.
The press and people shouldn't have harassed him at his house. He has a kid for God's sake.

Before this press conference I thought he was smug however I feel sorry for him now.

My wife was woried that my eyes couldnt sweat. In hindsight, I should have gone to specsavers. However, you cant rely on hindsight when driving, so I still believe I did the right thing.

Unfortunately I don't think that he has special enough circumstances to get away with this.

No! The rules do say exactly that you have to stay at home in all circumstances.

How does he think that is going to go down with all the thousands who had to miss attending family funerals, or miss saying goodbye to parents, children, siblings, in hospital??

So they didn't think she did actually have covid.

So the reason of travelling up to Durham so if he also cam down with it is utter bollocks.

I tripped up on the way to the car. I think it's fair to say my driving abilities aren't great ;)

He's getting angry. Someone give him a poke and he'll lose it.

I think he's now struggling to remember the story.

Life

I feel sorry for him now but he should have released this earlier and said sorry.
