Can't be bothered to read the waffle, but in his interview yesterday, he said he voted for lockdown right from the start, the fake news in the papers is irrelevant. ;)
Listened to what he said and I would have done the same as I believe would most.
PS despite the fake news many were saying yesterday, it was his Mother's Brother who died of corona virus, and not an uncle through marriage. <doh>

Apologies I did use some big words and didn't put any pictures in :biggrin:.

What he actually said, very carefully, is that he argued for lockdown. Which he did. After he changed his mind.

I don't really care what he did. I don't personally think what he did in terms of taking his wife and kids to a 'safe place' was unreasonable. But how is it any different to anyone else in london going to their holiday cottage to isolate? He helped set the rules and then didn't stick to them when it was his family. Of course he could have got child care in London - he just preferred it to be elsewhere. Superdad pulled all the sympathy cards he could 'my kid', 'my familiy', 'we felt threatened'. .. doesn't care much about anyone elses family though.

As for drove 30 miles 'to test my eyesight' ... Felt a bit queezy and sat outside for a while. <laugh><laugh><laugh>

Isn't his wife (?) involved with a Government APP of some sort who have their head quarters in Durham? Mmmmm?

Taking your child to family incase things get bad ( eg death) isn't the same as going on holiday to a second home.
As for the drive, it is allowed to exercise, even if it wasn't to test his eyes, so there's no problem on that, and the extra trip this month, was just made up fake news, I take it all the press who made up and printed these lies have resigned.

When did the cult following start in some of these countries. Millions following Trump in the us and same in UK with Boris. Must be their amazing personalities eh

Cult followings have always been around in all countries.
People now realise though, that they have the right to question anything and everything they are told.
Over the next few months if not years, lots of questions will be asked and debated to death about this virus and the handling of it.
There will be lots of stories put out there to suit different political agenda's and lots of conspiracies.

I Too have been out for a drive during lockdown. I have lots of walks too and some were over two hours. You just watch out for them snakes..they are easy to spot as they have cameras and microphones and have a tendency to ask stupid questions repeatedly.

I hear Cummings caused an increase in admissions in weston somerset. Apparently him going up the motorway caused a spike in the virus. But us truck drivers are allowed to go where we want and piss in as many laybye as our bladders allow.
 
You know there's only one who knocks one out at the thought of Sturgeon (Jimmy Crankie) and he lives in the Wetherby area. <whistle>
Ah, I'm getting the picture now. You wish that it was Sturgeon dressing up in schoolboy clothes! Not sure what height she is, but I suspect you'll need to expand your odd peccadillo to include Secondary schoolboys, as I think she's too tall for a Primary schoolboy. Don't go exhausting yourself, now!
 
I would like to know how wee Jimmy has managed to keep her hair so short. Boris hair has gone wild but she seems to have found a magic spray during lockdown.
