I agree Summer! All our press seem to do is use these mistakes as a way of criticizing members of whichever party they disapprove of!

Even politicians are using the virus to demonstrate how well they would do things or how badly the opposing parties are doing things. Coronavirus is about survival, not making sure they have a better chance in the next election

There is no other news at the moment (apparently) so they struggle to come up with enough stories to fill the programmes.

There is a very old Russian aphorism (cleaned up a bit). "When the bone is in the **** the brain is in the backside".

I agree summer, in what way would this affect his ability to the do the job he is paid to do......No wonder we can't get any decent politicians anymore without the media's permission....

Another good career wiped out after 'trial by media'...

Re: Professor Lockdown

Just another instance of "Do as I say, not as I Do".

Folks of any intellect seem to apply this adage, when it suits them.

Indeed, Matt Hancock described the transgression as extraordinary and was speechless. Really?

A little discretion was all that what needed. A nosy neighbour making mischief like as not.
