Its very sad, but for a man who was very intelligent, he really made a massive error of judgement.
I mean it was Eat out help out, not travel across the country and go on holiday.

In no way would I say it was horrible gutter journalism, agenda driven, or patronising.

Sunak?
That's politically survivable in this country, because there's a majority here who think getting £10 off a plate of utter muck is a great idea...even if some catch a deadly virus.
Tragic, but he made an informed choice to go on a mini break, eat muck and chuck swill down his neck during a pandemic.
No one forced him.
Sunak yes, but mostly this poor fella.
I mean I honestly didnt feel the need to "take advantage" of such a wonderful offer in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

Welcome to modern Britain.
There's loads like him.
The point for me is that he may have made his own decision to dine out like that, but the temptation was put in place by that gormless get Sunak...which, in turn, goes to a wider point about allowing last summer's Covid19 transmission festivities to be green lighted.
Fella owned his own legal business.
I cant imagine he was prompted by a tenner off to travel across the country, especially to Birmingham which was a pretty hot zone at that point.
Anyway, its a tragic story and I feel sorry for his family.
Lives were lost due to the eat out scheme, for sure and it was a massive error and Sunak quite rightly paid the price by losing his job and his massive salary, right? RIGHT?
I’ve had a bit of a bug bear with the guardian for a while to be honest so I’m probably guilty of a bit bias. Think the emotive language and subject matter used in the article was all leading to political blame. Didn’t agree with the whole eat out to help out thing but the guy still went on a family holiday to another city and visited several bars and restaurants. It’s a tragic death and the government have been terrible with their handling and communication but individual responsibility also has to play a part in many cases.
Or the variants can also dissipate like most of them have done.
On the subject of the vaccines , they are the overiding factor to a way out of this.
But keep poo pooing them & we can all lock ourselves away and hope it goes away.

Wonder how many journalists are out there today taking photographs at dodgy angles to make people look closer together?

Rishi Sunak, the banker, made his fortune in the baking crisis the bloke is a grade A [Poor language removed]. His shtick is to make money from misery.

I think I'd be disappointed if you didn't lol
To be fair though, I do see where you are coming from and I agree having figures available for all the different types of death and educating people on how to avoid joining those statistics is important.
I just don't think that the covid stats need to be headline news every day and then discussed to the nth degree. It needs to be treated the same as the others, which at the moment it clearly isn't.
