Actually your very wrong because not a single person has come forward to say they did exactly the same thing because they know they would have done wrong and would receive the same backlash that Cummings is getting.

What there is though are many articles coming from families who were in the exact same situation as Cummings but they stayed home and self isolated, working out a way to keep the infected separated from the rest of the family.

Others in this thread have asked the question why those who are defending Cummings are unable to see the wrong that he has done. Is it because those defending him have the same attitude/personality as him, selfish,ignorant and arrogant and thus are unable to see the wrongs they do?

It's OVER.

Sorry, Omagh but I think Peston has a rather green colured axe to grind in that post. DC was on his father's private land. I understood it was a farm. So what if there is a wood. Are you not allowed to be in the garden or grounds of your own property? I thought we were allowed outside? Is his father's wood open to the public? Where were the people who saw him?

..

I was thinking about this yesterday, that he deliberately went to Durham rather than Chillingham Castle because you could imagine the headlines with the latter. His wife is daughter of a baronet and lady. She worked at the Spectator when Boris was editor. It's like a dot-to-dot.

Perhaps that's how he met Boris?

Now a victim of the very aggression he has helped to whip up and certainly has used for his political advantage.

Mr Cummings took the unusual step of hosting a question and answer session with the media on Monday in a bid to justify his actions, with 3.7 million people watching the grilling on BBC One alone despite the sunny bank holiday weekend.

The latest survey by YouGov released on Tuesday found 71 per cent think Boris Johnson’s top aide disregarded government regulations when he travelled more than 200 miles from London to his parents’ estate in Durham.

Absolute majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Tory voters believe the rules were broken, with just 20 per cent of the public believing Mr Cummings’s actions were within the regulations and the rest saying they didn’t know.

Fifty-nine per cent of the public also believe that the top aide should quit, up by 7 per cent from a comparable poll conducted on Saturday. 27 per cent of people say he should not resign, with the rest saying they don’t know.

No doubt a post similar to this has been posted but I will ask it again. parents are reluctant to send their children to school saying "How on earth can you expect children to keep to the two metre rule" yet these same parents are quite happy to see their children playing happily together on a warm sunny sandy beach.
