    If this thread / board / media / social media / the neighbours are anything to go by 'this' has caused a split in the public / people, that was previously a united if not fragile following of an ethos /message / that was needed to help flatten and control a threat never encountered before

    The reason he wasn't sacked is he didn't break guidance, at worst he interpreted them different to others.

    Do you genuinely believe the best use of limited questions and air time with the PM was to ask the same question over and over rathe then press him on school opening details and or other non essential businesses opening ?

    He can’t sack him because Cummings writes everything he says. He’s Cummings’ puppet.

    I think it's naive to think that, given the opportunity, the government spokesmen/women will stick to giving relevant information about the pandemic. Yesterday Grant Schapps just launched into a party political broadcast about the building of an additional platform at Leeds station and a dual carriageway for the A66. He cited Conservative plans to bring prosperity to the north with only a fleeting mention of Covid.
    On second thoughts, the A66 improvements will improve access to Barnard Castle.

    Create a siege mentality.
    Tell the public they are under threat and Bingo you can control a large part of the public .

    It depends on who you believe, Cummims' wife's account in the Spectator, or the excuses made this week.?

    This forum is not real life, neither is Twitter, neither is the media starved of any other news.

    Great forecast for tomorrow, looking forward to it

    Is everyone taking the bank holiday drinking to the extreme tonight? Or can you just not have a decent debate so just start posting random crap.

    He's not my mate, he's not my Messiah and I've no idea what his cock tastes like. I don't get offended by anything to do with this/him I just give my view / opinion with no bias. Will slate when I think something needs it, will praise when I think it's deserved.

    Chill the **** out, drink a Corona and book a nice weekend get away to Bernard castle for when this is over. Rumor has it there is even a retired guy up there with a photographic memory who can save you the need of taking a camera up there with you.

    I realise that and that's why I mentioned the neighbours amongst others as real people, who do not share the same political views as myself, though we do agree on many things who all feel this went over the line and he should be gone, yes it's not the whole population but a view of people who support the government

    There is and will be lots of different views on it from every corner of the political table. Just don't get way people resort to getting so angry, insulting and make themselfs look a little stupid because of it.

    Rumour has it that there was a government advisor up there casing out potential routes for the A66 improvements.

    Is there another country that so relentlessly grills/harasses the government and its officials on this virus?

    Not just talking about Cummingsgate, but ever since Day One of all this.

    We're stuck with this PM, this govt until further notice, not sure what the hostile questioning is intended to do?

    Show govt incompetence?

    So what's the alternative? A general election to elect a new govt?

    A new leader? How long would that take to sort out in this time of national crisis.

    The daily media briefing is outmoded. They should just announce the latest figures and dispense with Peston & Co' s irrelevant sniping.The Q&A format serves no real constructive purpose anymore.

    As I say, sunny all day tomoz- enjoy in safety everyone....
