I see elected MP Steven Kinnock is enjoying his nice, quiet Bank Holiday weekend.

Meg, Some of that is similar to what l said in the post that l deleted but realised some were preparing the scaffold and noose on here and it was too late.

Re: Coronavirus: Dominic Cummings visited parents' home while he had symptoms

There is no witch hunt, there is no scaffold and noose. Cummings broke the rules on self isolation, the facts are very clear on that and as a result he should be punished for it, that is all that is being asked BUT those rallying behind him are interpreting those rules differently to be able to justify his actions and that is what is causing a problem because it is being seen as one rule for government and it's staff and one rule for everyone else.

Should I Stay or Should I Go

The Clash

Boris,you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

It's always tease, tease, tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day it's fine and next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go.

He went in March the child died in May.

Dont see your point.

Re: Coronavirus: Dominic Cummings visited parents' home while he had symptoms

Why aren’t you using your voice and energy to bringing someone more worthy of punishment..... like Tony Blair!

What Dominic Cummings did, is a spit in the ocean in comparison.

So listeners would have assumed that the "battle for survival" was fought on the Home Front, just like the Blitz, and not 300 miles away .....

Re: Coronavirus: Dominic Cummings visited parents' home while he had symptoms

Art ''It takes all sorts as they say'' some people like to take a 'holier than though' attitude regardless of what they would do themselves if presented with a similar situation.

I have been in the situation of having a sick and dying husband and a small child while living miles away from my family and agonising over what would happen if I became ill.

I can imagine Cummings watching his boss and people around him at work become ill then his wife knowing he was likly to become ill too.
I would have done exactly as he did being unprepare to trust just anyone with my child.

Re: Coronavirus: Dominic Cummings visited parents' home while he had symptoms

That has got nothing to do with this topic of discussion. People are defending Cummings even though the official rules and guidance on self isolation does not support his actions or his defence and neither does it towards those who are rallying behind him and as such I am disgusted by it and thus I am voicing strong opinions and views about it.

A classic example is here, part of quoted message that was posted by another member

and this is the official guidance from the government on self isolation
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...d-19-infection

and no where in the official guidance is there anything that relates to what Dr Jenny Harris uses to defend Cummings actions. They are making it up as they go along all for the purpose of protecting one of their own (high placed government official).

Re: Coronavirus: Dominic Cummings visited parents' home while he had symptoms

It's Cummings who's taking the 'holier than though' attitude - (most of) the rest of us have been obeying the advice and rules .....
