I assume the Daily Mail are also clutching at straws? This isn't a remainer conspiracy although it's a cheap and lazy way to dismiss opposing arguments without substantive reply.

I fully expect Dominic Cummings to apologise in some way, expressing an error of judgement and claim to have been acting in good faith. What then? Will he just be lying? Or will he have actually used a sense of perspective notably absent from some on this thread.

It's nothing to do with laziness, it's nothing to do with errors of judgement, he made the right call for his vulnerable son. Thus, no rules broken, despite how many times you erroneously say so.

I do not read any newspapers and I do not care what crap is written in any of them. They are all as bad as one another.

I'll prefer to await the outcome of any investigation than trust the armchair judgements of those who, in all probability, would defend Cummings at all costs because of his role in Brexit.

What an individual would do in similar circumstances is irrelevant in the law. There was a clear steer in the regulations and government messaging around the broad set of circumstances that applied here.

I'm also not convinced two parents suffering Coronavirus symptoms would have taken a child on a four and a half hour car journey when one of them has a sister nearby in London.

The 4½ hour journey is neither here nor there; one hour? two hours? three hours? 260 miles. Why bring the distance into it?

Most people in the same vehicle would be, yes.

He broke no rules because he was safeguarding his son - thus, he did nothing wrong.

It's none of your business who he chose to look after his son. That decision is his and not yours, how dare you decide who should look after his son, mind your own business. You would not tolerate somebody dictating to you what to do with your family, so do not tell others what or how they should manage with theirs when you do not know of their personal circumstances, in particular the childs health.
