Let's (Truth) Twist Again (3)

[SouthWestmom]

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

No, he was not concerned about security at his London home before all of this.
Alastair Campbell has talked about the special Division set up for protection of the Government and he is going to ask the Met whether DC expressed concerns about his security, meaning he had to go to Durham

My concerns aren't necessarily a defence of Cummings either. Hardly, given he's likely one of those responsible for the lack of border checks and quarantine!

@ToffeeYoghurt it's been a long day apols if I have rushed to conclusions.

Ey up. BJ might throw us a bone to distract here....

Thanks @vera99.
No problem. I've done it too.

Far greater risk than one single family.Whilst that's going on it doesn't matter what he does.
surely you understand his position?
It matters greatly what DC does.
It matters what BoJo does.

How can anyone expect the general population to abide by restrictions if those in authority are arrogantly ignoring them?

Do as I say, not as I do comes to mind

Car showrooms re opening.
I wonder if they do test drives to Durham if the optician is still shut?

Unfortunately you're right and some will seize on it as an excuse.

However, we could equally argue that just because they did it, doesn't mean we all have to.

I only tend to emulate those I respect.

@ToffeeYoghurt
It’s about government’s hypocrisy and one rules for us and another rules for them.
The travel restrictions is separate matter. It’s about practical steps the government is taken.

Continuing on the do as I say, not as I do theme.
Now that the government wants people back at work (but without the simple measures other countries have taken to make that safer) when is virtual parliament ending?

Someone cleverer than me needs to design a new t short with the slogan,

I went to Barnard Castle. But I should've gone to Specsavers.

Surprised not to see Whitty and Vallance at the briefing as Sky News saw them walking in to DS an hour or so ago. I wonder if they refused to take questions on Cummings?

I think they definitely don't want him to go so have allowed him to light the flame by doing this and are hoping it will burn out now

Wouldn't be surprised. Whitty seems to have totally distanced himself lately.

NEW: Prof Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance left No 10 at approx 1820.

Earlier we were told they would be appearing with the PM at the daily press conference.

Why did they turn up for the presser and then leave?

Have asked No 10 for comment.

Where did she get a new haircut??!!

Whitty and Vallance spotted leaving No 10 at 6.20pm.

Important to not go out if you're unwell.

I wonder if Cummings is listening.

I can't bear to watch it. I think I'm sick of all the obfuscation and hand washing.

However, we could equally argue that just because they did it, doesn't mean we all have to

And I won't. Sensible people won't. I'm talking about ummm the less sensible

Shall I start a new thread?

I'm watching the daily briefing.

How can BJ say it's important to self isolate if you have covid 19 symptoms with a straight face?
