That is sad Bread, I feel so sorry that this happened in your family and can understand your feelings in this case. I would feel the same too.

Here is what really does p1ss me off.

I was unable to see my mum since Christmas due to Hancocks lockdown and regional travel restrictions. Month after month we rescheduled until finally, when both me and my mum had our double jabs in May, I threw caution to the wind and went to see her anyway, driving 240 miles up to Stockton. My sister was staying with her as she was moving house and her new flat wasn't quite ready and as my mums house only has 2 bedrooms I said I would stay the night round the corner in a Travel Lodge as it would also be late when I arrived.

On the Friday morning as I was getting ready to leave to see her, my phone rang. It was my sister telling me my mum had died during the night and as I got to the house I was greeted by paramedics, police and a distraught sister. I never did get to see her again and I have to live with myself thinking if only I had just popped round on the Thursday night I would at least have seen her, just briefly.

This is why people are so angry with Hancock, people like me in their thousands, millions even when you look at the wider impact, who have been left devastated by the impact of the lockdown rules while selfish, self centred bastard Hancock, the guy in charge of UK Health, sticks two fingers at the people and decides his rules don't apply to him and can't get in the way of him getting his leg over with someone else wife.

I don't believe a word of his virtuous BS resignation either, I don't think anyone in my position feels comforted by his apology. He should resign as an MP and give the job to someone who serves his constituents rather than himself. Someone who hasn't the courage to end a relationship before starting another and someone who makes his children his priority.

And meanwhile at the G7, leaders slap each others backs without wearing facemasks, walking with arms round each other to their tax payer funded barbecue, flying in by private jets to visit our country (which, incidentally, families of UK citizens living abroad can't do without spending £2,500 isolating in a hotel for 10 days), and lecturing us on going 0% carbon and green issues.

This won't be forgotten at the ballot box, I can tell you. Certainly not by me anyway.
Truly horrible but surely blame this awful pandemic rather than the government who are doing what they believe best to protect ALL of us?

If Hancock blew it then that makes him a prick - but the root cause is covid.

The root cause of my mums death was not Covid, it was that my mum had an aneurism, which caused her death.

The root cause of me not seeing her was government policy. A policy that was not adhered to by the ambassador of it.
