No mate, there are some on here who have suffered because of the Lockdown, and I really feel for them because I too understand and have felt it. You and others however haven’t but have just wasted two days pontificating about some advisor to the government. Meanwhile real stuff is sneaking through that you haven’t seen because for you the story is Cummings.....
If only I were as compassionate as you...
 
you will be one day....when you’ve grown up.....
See the thing is, you've spent a weekend defending someone who has clearly lied and broken rules (which others have been punished for) and winding people up for your amusement, on a thread where people have told you how deeply this has affected them - all the while maintaining that you 'don't care' and now, it's just an enjoyment for you.

Where we differ, and your assumption about my motives I suspect reveals your true position, is that my issue isn't wanting Cummings sacked (although he should be) it's the fact that by his behaviour he's completely undermined the credibility of a Government message which will have consequences for the health service and the public.

So forgive me if I do care and don't think it's a jolly good schoolboy lark.
 
Cant see the pubs and restaurants reopening in July, think we'll see a second wave now. Dom has single handedly seen to that as people will just say, well if he can do it...

Wouldn't be so bad if he showed an ounce of remorse. Imagine being so hated that all your neighbor's hang out their windows shouting abuse at you.

The UK government torpedoing their entire pandemic lockdown/self isolation strategy during a pandemic to protect the prime ministers mate seems pretty real stuff tbh.
 
As someone who lost a grandmother and wasn’t able to say goodbye due to lockdown this has made me especially furious, how anyone can stick up for Cummings or side with scum like Boris, Gove, Raab, and Hancock is a cretin of the highest order
One of the most cruel and difficult things about this response to the Pandemic. It may help or not, do with it what you will, but https://www.cruse.org.uk/ offer bereavement services that may be useful to you or family especially where seeing a bereavement nurse in hospital may not have been possible.
 
I see Kuenssberg is now on the back foot, trying to save some face after quickly jumping into the fight trying to get her sources line out there.

Like the government, the Guardian/Mirror gave her some rope and she well and truly did the damage hersel.

Terrible to hear that mate. Be well.
 
And what happens if there is a second wave that the only way to control is to enter lockdown again?

We all hope that it isn’t the case but the “Cummings exception” to self-isolation when infected is wide enough to drive a double decker bus through.
Exactly. It barely matters if he stays or goes now. The public who have sacrificed will continue to do so, but, and I hope it's a minority, the public that feel they are above the rules will use this as an opportunity to do the same and they have a complete catch all excuse endorsed by the PM and the Attorney General.

I was at a meeting last week and the chair ended it by saying 'lets all try to get some rest now, before the second wave'
