We just got some good news over here. No new deaths from the virus in the last 24 hours. The First day since mid-March. Great to see deaths in our islands and all over Europe reducing. Keep up the good work lads and lassies.
Another 121 here Fingy, and we tend to undercount at weekends/holidays. Anyway they aren’t as important as some bloke who ‘advises’ our prime minister.

London is pretty much clear, too. The North-East's still being hit though, thanks to the Cummings family.

Is London clear? I saw the story few days back about no new cases in 24hrs but it didn't seem to be widely reported so not sure what the status is. I know closer to my neck of the woods a hospital in Weston super mare has had an outbreak of cases and closed it's doors to non covid cases. I wonder if this will be reflected at other seaside locations.

Well that went well

He didn't apologise
He nor his wife have ever been tested for CoVid
His son has been tested and was negative
He drove 30/60 miles to Barnard castle to test his eyesight....GREAT. (I must drive tonight to see if that G&T has affected my ability to drive)

He believes his wife had covid, but left before his 14 day isolation was up, because he felt OK, although the night before his eyersight was still bad

He had to leave London because there was no childcare provision. (I never knew that about London 5 million people and no childcare! We are so lucky in Bucks!)
When he was in Durham, although he went for childcare, he never used it, because he didn't need to (even though thet were so ill...see The Spectator article written by his wife).

His security was compromised in London, because the media had told people he was against lockdown, and showed his house..but he is back there now and people are a little more annoyed about his drive to Durham.

His home in Durham is not a second home, it is more just blocks and mortar. Many people would love that.

He and his son all stopped to wee in the woods on the way home.....nice.

He cannot remember if he stopped for petrol 0,1 or twice on the way home

He spoke to Boris about it when they were both ill...but they were both too ill to remember too much about it.

He and his wife both wrote in the Spectator about having CoVid, but forgot to mention anything about being in Durham. (nb...you should read the report, it actually got me "watching his chest go up and down to see if he was dead". I actually activated my o2 monitor in case I needed it, on the back of what she wrote).

And despite not getting medical advice to travel up, he got it to travel back with the all clear. Remember hes never been tested
 
I still can’t work out why none of these people can ever admit to making a mistake and apologising.

If there is one thing I have tried to teach my kids it’s to fess up when you make a mistake, preferably before anyone else has realised that a mistake has been made. It gains you respect and trust, and lessens stress on yourself as you worry about getting found out and maintaining an elaborate cover up. Unless of course you are fessing up to something every 30 minutes, which will get you badged as an idiot. Thankfully I have the capacity to learn from my mistakes and am confident that I can repeat them perfectly.
On average, how many minutes would you estimate there are between them?. In my game it's important to be seen as a safe pair of hands . So I hate it when a prolific run of successful cases ends and then another mistake happens immediately - it's like buses

No they didn’t use their instincts, they behaved like the c*nts they are, which is the problem in this country, people have no ****ing respect for rules or regulations which is why other sheep think it’s ok to do it as well, much like the sheep on here continually bleating about what Boris is doing and not about what their doing.
The liberal left always crying and whining when it doesn’t go their way and always up in arms about something because they don’t agree with it.
We’ve turned into a nation of crybaby ****ing snowflakes not willing to take responsibility for our own actions but willing to point fingers at others,
Pisses me off, might be time to **** off and leave the crybabies on here to stew in their own snowflake juice blaming everybody and everything they don’t agree with.
Cry baby. Shut the door behind you and take your mate with you.

In fairness the medical advice would never have been to drive 260 miles with your infected wife and a kid in the back so it would’ve been a lack of common sense to do that.
 
If Cummings is making a statement ....and then taking questions , surely that means he is not resigning or am I being very naive here.

I am worried that we are all here waiting for a government advisor to tell us what he did on his sick leave.
I am worried that we are accepting this man has power
I am worried that this man believes he is that important and powerful that he needs to give a statement

He is just an advisor he is not an elected MP, minister or Prime minister ffs.

I am extremely worried that in fact he is that MEANINGFUL and POWERFUL

No-one elected Cummings
Hang on a minute. I thought elected buffoon is good but unelected bureaucrat wielding real power is bad. In the very simple political world some of our posters inhabit. Or will I wake up and find that the last 4 years post Brexit world is just a bad dream.
