Off Topic The Politics Thread

The government will not review fines issued to families who travelled to get childcare in lockdown, Sky News understands – despite the health secretary promising a vicar in a TV briefing he would "look at" the issue.

Right let's try clear something up. People have been fined for travelling regarding childcare. It was obviously against the rules to do so or how is it possible to issue a fine yet Cummings gets away with it.
Either cummings is right and the government is wrong or cummings is wrong and the government is right. Both cant be true. Hope that clears it up for the simple folk who continue to question this absolute farce of a ****show!

 

Considering my above post, would it to be fair to say that the track and trace app will be a complete waste of money and time.

 

Not our government but someone in Ireland got a custodial sentence for doing a similar distance.

 

Like I say, both cant be true. It's that simple. I would love to hear from our resident right wing defenders of the lies on this.

A man has been handed a four-week prison sentence after breaching Covid-19 travel restrictions by driving more than 450km (280 miles) from Londonderry to Co Kerry just to buy two puppies.

Did he not take a child in the car with him. Silly bugger

 

lucky for him then that he wasn't on his own

 

I spoke to Ellers about this earlier and his exact words were “lalalala can’t hear you can’t hear you lalalalala Brexit”

 

The difference being that buying a puppy should be considered essential.

 

Bloody lefties because of brexit.... oh hang on. Don’t worry lads people are trying to make it about the media, I’ve even seen a meme bringing Muslims into it, they can turn this round by trying to distract them with something that enrages them more

 

March 26th - Blackford driven to Skye, apparently breaking Lockdown

May 23rd - Blackford demands Cummings “be removed” for breaking Lockdown


The SNP's Ian Blackford traveled 600 miles, presumably by car, seemingly with no good reason

Where is the #mediascum baying for blood?

 

cant find any mention of driving thirty miles first

Standards of vision for driving
You must be able to read (with glasses or contact lenses, if necessary) a car number plate made after 1 September 2001 from 20 metres.

The practical driving test eyesight test
At the start of your practical driving test you have to correctly read a number plate on a parked vehicle.

If you can’t, you’ll fail your driving test and the test won’t continue. DVLA will be told and your licence will be revoked.

When you reapply for your driving licence, DVLA will ask you to have an eyesight test with DVSA. This will be at a driving test centre. If you’re successful, you’ll still have to pass the DVSA standard eyesight test at your next practical driving test.

 

But, but, but I saw a driving instructor breaking the lockdown rules

 

They all seem to be at it. They are now saying Blackford went on a hike.
Bloody hell it will end up that I was probably the only one to abide by the advice!

 

so he went for a drive 30 miles and took scenic shots of a loch. Should he resign? mmm

 

How is he meant to get home from PMQs?

 

He has a home in London so he really should have stayed there. Besides it was 3 days later that he took his 600 trip and scenic drive. It’s on the radio as well. I have to laugh as he has been very vocal about Cummings.

 

Come on Watford even you will crack a smile if this ends up being legit.
