LifeMatters - ODFOD.

We didn't write the fucking rules. Or drive 500 miles.

He said he doesn’t tell his wife what to write, Parkhead. So if she’s into Ribena Fan Fic it’s nothing to do with him

StrawberryJam200 · 25/05/2020 17:22

The Telegraph.

He "didn't really think about" whether there might be someone in London who could help with his son if necessary, because his grown up nieces (200+ miles away) had offered?

So glad "Stay Alert" wasn't the government message at that time.

... just "Stay Home".....

This performance is the greatest gift Grant Shapps has ever or will ever recieve. Noone is ever going to remember his performances after this.

He won't apologize
He won't offer resignation
Rhino skin

BJ would have to sack him but he is too weak to.

I noticed that Humphriescushion - no wonder everyone in Downing Street got it if they all wandered in and out of households with symptoms.

I can't listen to this any more.

SouthWestmom · 25/05/2020 17:22

In a very complicated situation

You're not special love.

I am going to lose my argument I know it. I had to say it as I feel for him

1forsorrow · 25/05/2020 17:23

@StealthPolarBear thank you. I think my heart is racing because this is so excrutiating.

janet1267 · 25/05/2020 17:23

The worrying thing is that he is the most competent person in Downing Street.

minou123 · 25/05/2020 17:23

Hold on a minute did he just say.....

"I didnt think it was reasonable to ask a friend to be exposed to a deadly disease, when my 17 year old niece was happy to do that for me"

Have I understood that right? Does he hate his niece?

greenlynx · 25/05/2020 17:23

Aaa The Telegraph....

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 17:23

Vera definitely. Amazing how some aspects of the story are in precise detail yet his memory let's him down at times.

tootyfruitypickle · 25/05/2020 17:23

He hadn’t even considered what a single parent might do.
They just have no idea do they

HatRack · 25/05/2020 17:23

One question for all of you: have you really followed the lockdown rules 100% ?

We are not policy makers or politicians

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2020 17:23

It was not a very complicated situation.

It wasnt even a situation.

Let alone complicated.

And whilst I was weighing up the safety of situations I decided to test drive a 60 mile round trip in case my eyes were still not working properly 🤦‍♀️Grin

Wait till Starmer gets to work on the transcript. Blood will flow in rivers of guilt.

JackiFazaki · 25/05/2020 17:24

I wonder if his Mum's posting on here?

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 17:24

1for sorrow seriously are you OK? Turn it off, have a hot chocolate and watch something trashy for a while.

NewAccountForCorona · 25/05/2020 17:24

I've had to turn it off, I'll just follow on here. Excruciating is the right word.

GrimmsFairytales · 25/05/2020 17:24

Have I understood that right? Does he hate his niece?

Ah but his niece was in a low risk age group, although he possibly does hate her

Saucery · 25/05/2020 17:24

I’m not saying I’m right, I’m saying I was wrong but there’s fuck all anyone can do about it

effingterrified · 25/05/2020 17:24

No parent would do a 5 hour trip without stopping.

End of.

Only a person who hadn't had children could think that was remotely possible.

So when did he stop at the Pizza Hut in Woking?

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2020 17:25

More trashy than this

Cailleach1 · 25/05/2020 17:25

I feel for anyone who got CV because of arrogant, selfish people like this. 'Change the country for the better.' With lies and obfuscation.
