Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Oh interesting - Schapps has firewalled the PM there in his responses

Well, it appears the circumstances he exploited, were not.

Essential travel was never banned. And if said travel was to ensure support was available, that was all fine and dandy. I mean, you are not wrong per ce, and like you, I laboured under the same understanding.

Its all a bit odd.

So I reckon if he had to travel 300 miles then he would need fuel. That would require a stop at a petrol station, so Cummings is cv19 positive is swanning around a petrol station shedding virus spores aots.

Guilty. Hang him!

You didn't labour under anything. The advice - the instruction - was crystal clear.

The headline was, deffo.

But the guidance/instruction also said that vulnerable individuals could be moved if support might be needed. (I didnt know that till I read it earlier, hence laboured under the same instruction as you).;

edit. Anyrate, bloke is a rat all ends up, and the RS are on telly soon; some league decider from 1989. Wonder how that went.

The fella had no chance there. They knew it would be a roasting so sent out a lesser cabinet member. Predictable

A"lesser cabinet member? " they are all the same gang of incompetents.

If he was well enough to drive 250 miles then I don’t believe it was essential travel.

for example, why didn’t the sister travel to him instead? As she presumably was not displaying symptoms?

That wasn't the case here, though. If the argument is that the four year old might need looking after if both parents got sick, the solution to that was to remove the four year old not to move the family up there. Even then, if you believe that complete nonsense in the Spectator things were never that bad anyway.

I hate this fetid ballbag of a government so so much. The lockdown is the only thing keeping people marching on Westminster right now.

Yeah, that did cross my mind, and my previous post about the PM's adviser not being able to arrange support for his kid in London shows my thoughts on the whole thing.

And I did also say he exploited the guidance.

So not defending him, it was idiotic on many levels.

Piers Morgan is having quite the meltdown on twitter:



a horrible specimen him, but lol all the same

... or why didn't they get his wife's brother, Jack, to drop food off and, if necessary, take the child away ? Jack Wakefield is an art dealer, based in London.

And he popped into The Blue Oyster for a pint on the way there.

Wouldn't surprise me now if there isn't extra powers given to the Police after this because the Tories know what could be coming.
