    He is talking rubbish. Watford reminds me of Rik from The Young Ones. His comments on his son are ill judged and quite embarrassing. Goldie we all know what is happening here. They have been out to get Cummings for a long time. As I have pointed out all the caring of PPE/death/NHS is out of the window and it’s all about Cummings. Even if he had quit it wouldn’t be the end of the story. He should have resigned and got another job.

    Nope the general public seen **** loads of comments on places like the local newspaper comments section from usually adamant Tory/Boris supporters saying this is too much. I was a little taken back I thought these people would support them no matter what, think the Torys will underestimate the fall out from this.

    There’s no argument. Essentially you’re saying everyone who was in a worse situation could have done their own thing but weren’t bright enough to realise that.

    He was asymptomatic at the time or at least well enough to drive the lot of them 260 miles north (why was she not left behind with full-blown Corona, another issue?). They have family within a few miles. They have access to all the same routes for food delivery you and I do with the added bonus of being the ****ing Prime Minister’s chief advisor which might mean someone could have popped round a loaf of bread and some milk easily enough.

    Fine if you want to find excuses for them but you’ll look like a stupid and disrespectful **** for doing so.

    Your views are to the right of the Mail on this. It might be time to admit you are a bit more right wing than you care to.

    Who said that was out of the window apart from you when you were corrected each time?

    No the local family had health problems and couldn’t help out. We know that.

    Nice edit Goldy.....you missed out the last paragraphS

    And if the individuals do not have access to care support - formal care support - or to family, they will be able to work through their local authority hubs."

    The government says that those with no one to help with getting food, prescriptions or other essentials, could get support from NHS volunteers, or should contact their local council.

    Poor form. There are numerous single parents who have suffered from the virus but were told they couldn’t travel and had to look after their children regardless, Cummings just thinks he’s above the plebs and there’s ways of twisting the rules. Doesn’t bother me the more the Torys back him the more people will turn against them.

    Wills this is not some turn against the Tories. It’s a debate of Cummings and did he break the rules. As soon as things go back to normal the Tories will regroup like always.

    I really am surprised in the turn of public opinion, the Torys have done way worse and on numerous occasions, but this has done a huge amount of damage.

    I genuinely think you’re underestimating how pissed off the public are, not just with Cummings but the Torys and especially Boris for backing him.

    In your opinion. Plenty of packed beaches parks buses tubes. Should they all get the same? I know of plenty of people that have either broken or bent the rules (as we all do). As I said if he has broken the lockdown then that is a different argument. If the perv with the binoculars has proper proof and Cummings cannot answer then he will have to resign but we need to wait for the police to waste hours and manpower to let us know the truth. When people like Watford think he should be shot if found guilty it tells me this is more politically motivated than anything else.

    Because it’s not a left v right or Remain v Leave issue as much as the likes of Tom Harwood and Ellers would like it to be to simplify the debate and justify their side. People have been forced to go through a really tough time for a common good and they’ve been pissed on.

    To clarify he deserved to be shot long before this.

    I think you just want them to be pi22ed off. When it comes to votes you won’t get us Tories voting for Labour. Also from the 2-3 people I have spoken to they don’t seemed to worried.
