So we all agree that there are, and were, reasons why the adherence to guidance can be adapted for certain situations?
why all the fuss then?

You'll have to go back and find where i said he couldn't take his child to Durham? I've repeatedly said that the guidance was changed on the 9th April to permit this.
However, his 'testing his eyesight' by driving from Durham to Barnard Castle is not permitted. Also, if he suspected he had bad eyesight why would you drive that distance on what are considered quite dangerous roads (high accident/fatality rate) when there's a perfectly good dual carriageway approximately 10 minutes away from his house?

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
More pressure on the PM to get rid of Dominic Cummings as the Scottish Conservative leader Jackson Carlaw has called for Cummings to resign.

Nigel Farage exposes plot to use Dominic Cummings outrage as bid for Brexit extension
The LBC host continued: "It is clear that there are many, not all, but many in the Remain camp particularly, who would like to see the back of him.
"They think Cummings going now may well aid them in getting us to extend, beyond the end of this year, staying in the EU rulebook.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
I wondered when he would raise his head above the parapets. Good idea to use another bogeyman to detract from another.

He is feeling unloved. A desperate sad little man who craves attention .. is he the same person who broke lockdown laws to hunt hordes of imaginary foreign immigrants?

Can you not see the irony here? You also ignored the point I raised just to then complain about me ignoring points that are raised

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
All the other parties met today to decide what to do, rather stupidly, but in 'more sense than Corbyn' mode Starmer didn't attend and Labour refused to put their name to anything.
---------- Post added at 17:30 ---------- Previous post was at 17:10 ----------
A member of the public just asked a question which might have changed Government policy.
Asked if all fines issued for child care police be reviewed Hancock implied it might be.

Oh, so if someone in Govt breaks then the rules, then the rules get changed ! Makes sense. We should be grateful I guess.

On that, I agree that this additional journey was ill advised.. I suspect this is where he is most vulnerable. However, whether the police regard that as being right or wrong, depends on whether they believe that his reason for doing this is a 'reasonable excuse'.

You're assuming this will with Bozza's only cock up/scandal over 5 years, we all know it won't be. Plus the reality of Brexit to hit home and a country now with a massive debt.

What about Starmer letting Kinnock off, then? Anything to say about that?

The cock-up entirely in the current Government's hands was dithering over lock-down behind Ireland and other countries. The lack of PPE, tracking and testing infrastructure can be blamed partly on predecessor Governments.

Not an amazing look, but Kinnock didn't write the lockdown rules and then appear to thrice break them. (Driving to Durham, driving to the hospital, driving to Barnard Castle).
