    I think a lot of people were the same, me included.

    But he's been a real let down ...

    ... too much mouth but no backbone.

    282 deaths in the last 24 hours, positive tests down to 2959.

    We are slowly inching downwards, my worry is it won't take much (especially with this Cummings farce) for it to sky rocket again

    He's a little poorly, bless him...

    ... NHS workers, going straight back to work, are a different species.

    They're 'workers' whereas Boris is Queen Bee and just stays at home getting fat.

    I've just watched BBC News, and seen ministers lining up to support Cummings ...

    ... which basically means we can all do whatever we like.

    The new government message is,

    'F*ck staying at home, f*ck staying alert ...

    ... just don't get caught'.

    Let’s see who Boris blames when the figures shoot up again it’s only a matter of time before Cummings is sacked they are just to stupid to see that I’ll give him 4 weeks let’s hope I’m right <ok>

    That's always been the fallback situation ...

    ... hence the 'look at these frisbee criminals, in the park, being spoken to by our brave police officers.

    If it wasn't for them we'd all be able to nip down the pub.

    great soundbite from @ayeshahazarika on @SkyNews "The Tories have thrown a protective ring around Dominic Cummings but they wouldn't throw one around care homes"

    Just read his comments to the press he’s a ****ing embarrassment.

    ‘obviously I won’t be resigning, you are as right about this as you were about Brexit how did that go?

    Who cares what it looks like’

    ****ing prick. We all stay away from our friends and families for months, miss birthdays, in my case a ****ing death, have our work lives turned upside down and see many who will be years before normality, and this **** says ‘who cares how it looks’.

    I’m ****ing raging after reading that, I want to punch the self righteous little prick in the mouth.

    Regarding the looking after of the child;

    During the daily press conference on 24 March, Dr Harries outlined how parents may be able to access childcare support if they are unable to look after their children.

    “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 deputy chief medical officer for England said.

    The real sickener is that he's not just gritting his teeth and trying to bluff his way through this ...

    ... he really believes everything he's saying.

    I don’t even see it that way mate.

    He knows he’s ****ed up, and he knows there’s nothing any ****er will do about it, so he’s giving it the arrogance and bravado.

    Love to see him in that character in a room full of folk who have been banned from funerals and told they are having their liberty withheld by the ****.

    If I was diagnosed and had a month to live I'd spend one of my last days waiting outside his house and giving him a bloody good clout ...

    ... possibly the worst public figure I've ever encountered.

    And if you hear of this threat Mr Cummings you're welcome to contact me on your next trip to Durham.

    To absolutely reject the idea of an apology, show any ****ing humility at all and basically say ‘**** you all, I’m untouchable’ is a national disgrace mate.

    I was talking to my brother who raised the point did he infect people in Durham? And is that why we now have a high R number?

    If it's just one person it's one too many.

    What gives him the right to do what he did ...

    ... the Andrew Marr show should be worth watching tomorrow.

    If only we could prove that. Like Smug says, even if they carried it to 1 person.
