Are you not forgetting a few things papa.

Here are a few reminders for you as remember these are not my words but the words of the PM and government ministers.

Quote:
Announcing school closures at a Downing Street briefing on 18 March, Boris Johnson urged families not to turn to older relatives to look after children.
Quote:
He said: “Children should not be left with older grandparents or older relatives who may be particularly vulnerable. I know that’s going to be difficult too and I want to thank families for their sacrifice at this difficult time.”
Quote:
At a No 10 briefing on 27 April, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, said: “We understand the impact of not being able to hug your closest family. It affects us all too. We just hope we can get back to that as soon as possible. The best way we can get there, the fastest way, is for people to follow the rules.”
Quote:
Even now that lockdown rules have been eased slightly, visiting friends or family in their own homes is still off-limits. The current guidance states: “As with before, you cannot visit friends and family in their homes.”
Quote:
“If you are showing coronavirus symptoms, or if you or any of your household are self-isolating, you should stay at home - this is critical to staying safe and saving lives.”

Re: Coronavirus

Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, the veracity and ferociousness of the opposition parties hatred to him. It would just be easier if he laid low for a few months

It doesn't seem to apply to politicians and unelected bureaucrats just the rest of us.

Ah, so right and wrong aren't important any more so long as the Government makes it through.

There is a culture of hatred and bullying involved in this witch hunt, no doubt because of his involvement in Brexit.

As you stated in a previous post if he resigns he will come back in a few months anyway but at this given moment his position is untenable.

He has to do the honourable thing and resign.

C'mon, jfman. I would have expected you above many others to project an objective view.

I don't know whether or not you have children - but putting myself into a similar situation when mine were young, and knowing how flu lays you very low, looking after a young child would be my greatest worry. I'd have zoomed off to the mother in law's gaff in Rutland and in present circumstances would have found a way of isolating in one bedroom.

What a complete load of rubbish as Brexit has nothing to do with it apart from a few malcontents still pontificating as Brexit is happening now one hundred per cent no matter who is in power.

He's not an MP he's just a working man.
Should every working person lose their job because some people mistakenly think they broke a lockdown rule?

Stop it, my friend. Cummings' only consideration was for his child.

Revenge is still on peoples minds you just won't accept it as the reason to want him gone.

And l am not sure you understand the governments own Coronavirus advice whether it was from the Prime Minister or government ministers.

The populace understood it well so why can't you...

Don't you need to take into account a family's confliction with the Guvmin's advice? In the end it is for parents to decide how to protect their children.

This witch hunt just because of Cummings' political profile is a poor show.

And the fact that there is provision in the law covering this situation,if a law had been broken the police would have prosecuted and no 10 would not issue a statement saying no rules or laws have been broken.

Your right it is a poor show but did you expect anything else.

So you obviously think No.10 considers Dominic Cumming's career far more important that the viability of its lock-down strategy then papa?.
