Here's what I sent the PM and attorney general
Dear Prime Minister Mr Johnson,
Thank you for coming out last night to face your country and the people who voted for you. That was the right thing to do.
Unfortunately this was the only correct thing you did.
You asked us all to stay home. You told us loved ones will die. You told us if we didn’t follow the rules we’d be fined.
We were told we MUST follow these rules to protect the NHS and save lives.
At no point were we told if we wanted to “follow our instincts” instead that was acceptable.
In fact we all stayed home despite what our instincts told us.
< here I explained my personal experience of covid and gave some personal details I do not wish to share publicly. But I did night,Ishtar how ringing 111 you kept getting cut off after 100 minutes and couldn't get through>
Why was I not informed by Suella - my MP and why didn’t you inform us all that we didn’t actually need to do this. We didn’t actually need to stay at home “in case we needed childcare”. Why were we given a different message? Why were we told “stay at home?”.
Why is the attorney general - responsible for the thousands who have received fines for following their instincts then come out and defended a government employee for breaking the same rules?
I am not a Tory voter. I am not a leave voter. But I voted for you. I voted because I believed you had the best interests of the country at heart and were going to bring us into a brighter future. I believed everything you told us. I trusted you. I defended you over mistakes during this pandemic - citing the fact it’s novel and you clearly couldn’t predict the future.
I no longer trust you. Your position is as untenable As Dominic Cummings if you don’t force his resignation or make the decision yourself - he has to go.
But back to predicting the future. Clearly Dominic Cummings can. He travelled knowing he would likely be incapacitated and need childcare. Despite the government telling us for most of us it’s a mild illness.
So which of the statements is true. He travelled within the rules where if parents are incapacitated and there’s extreme risk to life then mixing households is fine or he decided that he might get ill from a mild illness and that the stay at home message didn’t really mean that for him and his family?
And perhaps whilst your at it you can also explain how an incapacitated parent drives 260 miles - especially without risking the lives of their passengers and other road users.
This is unacceptable. You lead the country. You are responsible for the heath and well being of us all. You have clearly just demonstrated you have not one once of respect for any member of the British public - and seem to respect us less for following your stay at home rules during this pandemic.
Please respond.
