He could perhaps mention this to his editor...

Surely those two points aren't valid excuses from making the lives of deaf people difficult ?

Typically disingenuous headline, one doctor has called for them to be the norm 'in healthcare settings'. They do look proper weird like.

Yes I suppose so, thinking about it properly. My point still stands though, they would have to figure out a way of them not fogging up otherwise the deaf person isnt going to make out what they are saying anyway.

It is a bit of a nightmare speaking to people who have one on as the sound is sometimes muffled - I think we all do a bit of lip reading subconsiously when listening to someone anyway.

It means to remain motionless for a long time..which is a surprising word considering he was anything but.

Dogs never sit still, how does that one work.

I'm only working this job because I ran out of road on writing for a living about this time last year.

I've taken the opportunity, however, to offer my sports writing services for the Belgian cycling races later in the year to all my contacts on the nationals. With the overlap on races in other countries at the same time and travel problems, you never know.

And, right on cue, the Times aren't biting.

Still, at least they replied. If they think you're crap you don't even get that.

She's a terrible individual but when she's good she's good.

I suspect it's used in respect to good dogs lying still and doing what they're told, politely waiting for a treat, while the master attends to his business.

The thing with this is that it's likely a waste of time in the end.
I see a liar and man desperately fumbling to justify elitist actions that flew in the face of official guidelines. one rule for them etc
Conservative supporters see a rude reporter being disrespectful not allowing a member of the ruling government to speak and perform his duties and will vote for him regardless etc. Also, I would imagine some people may even hold to the cap tugging 'they are our betters' and hardly bothered that one of them believed himself above the rules set down for the plebs.
you saw it yourselves BJ was almost angry he had to justify DC and himself to us scruffs.
The majority of people have short memories and will base voting decisions (in 4 years!) on what happened prior to that. Do you think people will remember this in 4 years? (if we are still around). Doubt it.
PS My 2 pence worth. I hold no degrees in political science. To paraphrase The Dude: 'It's just my opinion, man.'

Number of people who think he should resign went up after the press conference... so that went well then.

Could have sworn the police chief from Manchester was on Radio 4 this morning stating quite clearly that driving with impaired vision isn't something you should do.
