He didn’t go to see his parents thou he went to make sure there was childcare which I agree with, they also said he broke no social distancing rules with is the main thing for me, having had a walk the other day seeing hundreds not social distancing they worry me far more than Cummings

When all said and done the police are taking no further action and he has not even received a caution

They say they treat everyone the same, one rule for all..

I never saw it as a loophole because I new about it as did most people I have spoke to so it’s a hard one to answer

I'm claiming the fiver, Syd is doing a grand impression of one of the journalists at the daily press conferences. Ask the same question over and over to try and get that "gotcha" soundbite

Ask the same question over and over to try and get that "gotcha" soundbiteWhen I have a conversation with someone I prefer they are honest with me and me them, because johnson and cumming and gove and have been shown to be lying f**ks and tory voters accept this and don't mind so I have to be careful when tory voters tell me stuff because they may be doing the same. if that's ok with you ldr
The only answer I can give which I’m sure won’t be good enough, when myself and my wife were poorly with it, if I thought we weee not going to be capable to look after our children I would have done the same
I’m not going to answer a yes or no I approve of him going to the farm if that mean he exploited a loophole then yes as my kids safety would come before any rules
Playing devils advocate IDM as you know my views on the matter already. It has been decried on here that the government hasnt treated the public like grown ups during the pandemic. Surely any grown up would (assuming they have internet access of course) check all the rules rather than just listen to headline messages. There is small print in everything. Cant have it both ways

And they weren't.And here's the REALLY odd bit.He has pointed out time and time again how important he is to Govt. But he shot off to Durham as a precaution without telling anyone on his management chain.That, to my mind is either:1) A disciplinary offenceor2) A lie.I really can't see any alternative.
Thank you mate and yes I’m fully better and my wife is getting there, I can’t answer thou as just about everyone I have spoke to new you could seek childcare if needed, let’s say they had both been really poorly or even mild symptoms means you can’t get out of bed and that can happen within hours of you feeling fine who would look after the child? Would you chance it because I wouldn’t, going to the castle is a lame excuse but seeing as there is no reports of him not social distancing I just feel that the 10s of thousands who are breaking social distancing rules are far worse than him

Yes quite true Glyn
