This is my theory.
This has all been a bit of a deliberate story to have the actions that will no doubt be taken up by thousands and thousands. They want people to think **** it, if he can do it then so can I. They want people to go out and about of their own accord then no blame can be attached if and when a 2and wave comes. This has been a plan in my opinion. It's the herd immunity approach without shouldering any of the blame.
Now I'm sure many will say , what a load of ****, I talk rubbish blah blah. Like I say, this is just my theory and one that I personally think will enable society to get back with work and schools whilst hiding behind the slogan.

Disagree. This was thrust upon them by the Mirror and Guardian. They’ve weighed up the options and just gone for denial.

How much more proof do you need?
Well they are going to need pictures with the castle in and not just a car park ( he is was allowed an hour exercise a day). Maybe CCTV footage of him breaking the quarantine? I'm sure the police have better things to do though?
Bobby was right in that we all seem to forget important things that happen.
 
Johnson took a punt on what side to take here.
I will see how this plays out over next day or so, but I am prepared to bet there will be ' lockdown is now over ' kind of mentality and a complete disregard for staying alert. This could backfire badly and undermine govt credibility.
I think we are at that stage now Surrey. The relaxing will be announced soon.
 
It's sad that it had to come to this for people to wake up and see what a vile, corrupt, incompetent government they helped vote in. But alas, at least people are seeing this now. My mothers neighbour (life long Tory also a tight bitch) has ripped all her window stickers off in disgust. She told my old dear that she couldn't support this party anymore. Good lass

Weasel Cummings has really messed this up for his party. If we were all allowed to just follow our instincts then the government may have just ruined the economy for nothing! If it wasnt so tragic it would be hilarious.

I think Johnson has made a major error in defending Cummings - this isn't going away and he's going to have to go eventually. If only this government had been as protective of the poor souls in care homes as it has Cummings.

My initial thought was like pretty much anything this shower do it would be ignored or forgiven, The more comments I read the more I think thankfully I’m wrong. Think they’ve misjudged the public’s reaction. I’m half expecting Cummings to step down in the near future, however I’m not sure that will be enough people have seen Boris publicly back him.
