l am certainly not outraged but disappointed like many are that those in positions higher up have a duty to lead by example and obey the lockdown rules like the rest of us.

l was trying to answer the question papa you posed.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

My standards are carrying on as normal.

Are you now saying Dom should give resigned, or that she shouldn’t have? It’s certainly an inconsistency that some have to reconcile but not me.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

1 Re your standards,i can confirm they are at the usual level.
2 She is a sitting MP who only resigned as a last resort after she was exposed,she didn't own up until the story hit the papers.
3 Dom is just an adviser not a member of the gov or any political party,he's had a bollocking as is the norm when an employee steps out of line.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Evidence, please, of his employer bollocking him?

Boris Johnson gives Dominic Cummings final warning after COVID-19 lockdown row

A senior Downing Street source told the Mail on Sunday: “Dom’s been firmly put in his place.”

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Fair point.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

'A Downing St source' that is probably Cummings himself :D

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

But the "senior Downing Street source" is Dom :) Two personalities in one!

Just watched the Lords of the Rings: The Two Towers and Gollum reminded me of someone:

I love the way people think that nobody broke lockdown rules. I bet loads did.

Of course He would have, she’s expendable.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

The rest of the country did no such thing.

Plenty of people did, but to claim that “the country” did, with the exception of a very few famous/important people, is blatant nonsense, as the news photos almost every day of the week for the past two months have shown.

I’m lucky enough to live in a beauty spot, and flagrant disregard of the continuing lockdown rules in Scotland forced the police to start closing roads yesterday to prevent the area getting overcrowded.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Straw man alert. Nobody sincerely believes there’s 100% adherence to lockdown rules. It’s self evidently ridiculous to claim there is.

What is important is the double standards for people in leadership to tell the masses to do one thing while flouting their rules themselves.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

I think you'll find that's nothing new :D

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

l think you know exactly what l meant as no one is claiming that there was a 100% compliance with the lockdown rules as of course not everybody abided by the lockdown rules..

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Indeed, but we are permitted to get pissed off from time to time about it in a healthy democracy. :D

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

However you would expect those that made the rules, those 'in charge', to set an example and follow them religiously.Which they haven't - Jenrick, Cummings...

Lockdown's certainly finished around here and not being enforced. Grand kids staying with grandparents overnight etc. People now feel they have carte blanche as a result of Cummings. Lets hope in a few weeks time we aren't back at square one.
