Hang on they've just promised a vicar live on tv they would look at them and now they are pretending it never happened?

Ffs they really aren't helping themselves

Your whole post shows your political affiliation

My political affiliations are known, but that's not the point.
The last few months they have got worse and worse, culminating in the car crash of the last few days. Look at tonights press conference with Hancock put on the spot by a vicar and hinting at on the hoof policy change which it now appears the government have no intention of looking in to..
This isn't about policy disagreements or ideology, this is incompetence.
If you're happy with them then that's up to you but I just can't see how anyone can be.

It's July 1st, confirmed date. No 14 day quarantine for people from the UK and they are in talks with the UK to cancel the 14 day quarantine upon return to the UK. How many cases do you still have your way, we have 1 person left in hospital now, no new cases or deaths.

We have 1 active case, we had 45 in total, 0 deaths this for an island population about the size of Nuneaton and an island roughly the size of Warwickshire. My son, an ambulance driver, took 2 confirmed cases to hospital. We only had 3 in iICU at any one time. But most of the time my son was forced holiday about 1 month and a half in total, as there has been no pissed up tourists and very few car accidents for the ambulance crew to deal with. He was recently tested (along with all medical personal on the island) which came out negative for everyone. He had a pin prick test with immediate result and also the deep throat test sent to laboratories. Both taken at the same time.

Yep. And that’s a legitimate point.

It's also damaging to.the he was within the law argument.

Only washed tramps like grendal would think differently.

You're reading my posts David, we both know it. Interesting attempt to paint me as though I'm some chav from Willenhall though.

I would have to agree.

You would more likely get me voting tory than labour but I chose neither in the last election after not having faith in either party.

Now I feel even stronger about that.

I do think some people like to kick the dirt into the ground and it is a bit frustrating like when you come on this thread looking for interesting information and viewpoints and there is almost some jeering going on.

The government have handled this appallingly, no doubt about it.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

That is problematic in of itself isn't it? That answer equates to fines will stand for anyone who has done the same thing as Cummings. That being the case how can they then also claim Cummings has done nothing wrong.

I read earlier that the police were quoted as saying they would have been sent back home if they had been spotted and questioned over the trip North, so presumably a fine would have been considered at that point. Maybe they can still issue a fine, and if they can I think they should. Cummings can still hold the view that he was acting within the guidance and if he feels strongly about it he can appeal, but of course if he was sensible he would just pay it, and keep his belief that what he did was ok. It looks like the Gov't are prepared to ride this one out, I think it's time the press moved on now, unless they have some new evidence of lies or wrong doing.

Wow, just such good figures How do the locals feel about tourists coming back. Over here we can't wait as we really need to get businesses running again and people are prepared to take the risk. Did ERTE payments go well or a complete mess like over here?

Sorry if posted but there was a bit of good news in the press conference, NHS to start using Ebola drug for corona after successful trials. Lets hope it gets results.

 

[wingy]

Except for all the MP’s t gf at campaigned for brexit, Papers that have been campaigning for brexit for decades and untold amounts of political commentators that argued for brexit turning on him. The only people making this about brexit are the cult brexiteers who put brexit above all else, including the deaths of 46k people through inept government that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone now given the tissue web of lies they’ve conducted to save Cummings. It’s truly shameful.

Pretty sure the early info coming out of India at the start of this suggested this to be likely.

I've made up pretend posts of his though.

Nobody said otherwise, just an observation. Though it is funny to see.

 

[Grendel]

Oh and funnily enough David used his hero Dominic Cummings for his inspiration behind his cutting “thick as mince” put down - the irony you literally cannot make it up

Dominic Cummings: the ‘career psychopath’ who thinks David Davis is ‘as thick as mince’

What is this stuff about a “boo for Boris”? Is that actually a real thing? I’m no fan of the man but seems a bit silly and another step closer to pantomime territory

As soon as we went into lockdown we only had 2 flights a day to Gran Canaria, and 1 flight a day ( knocked down to 1 a week a month ago) to Madrid. My daughter is still waiting for her ERTE as she didnt have a bank account, they wouldn't pay it into my wife's account, the bank account is finally sorted today which took 3 weeks to sort out. My wife was sacked, with the guarantee of returning to work, when things return to more normality. She is the day time manager of the busiest bar in our town. It seems that her boss may have done the right thing compared to others putting their staff on ERTE. My daughters boss owns 3 bars, whilst putting 35 members of staff on ERTE, he was still paying over 10,000€ a month in staff taxes, where as my wife's boss has paid nothing, and now has his money ready for reopening, and can bring staff back as and when required.

As for tourists coming back, those of us in business really need them. I am a market trader, so our market wont open until tourist return. Most of the bars that have reopened are relying on pensioners only to keep them going, after the early Serge most bar owners are now regretting opening so soon as they can not temporary close again as the government wont restart their ERTE.

However we also want people to arrive here healthy, hoping that airlines and airports can sort out tourist entries sensibly.

Hancock just said he'd get an answer to the question, nothing more than that. The answer will be no there won't be a review, he just didn't want to say it there and then.

Yeah it was about the answer, wasn’t it?

Don’t worry that crap will soon disappear! Saw a jogger here fall over while looking over his shoulder and onto an entrance that goes towards a busy dual carriageway, with seconds a car was beeping him as he was picking himself up off the floor.

Didn't spot that the leader of the Scottish tories has said he needs to go.

Ernie you are easily pleased.

Not like you to pop up and like a shit post from that weirdo.

How is the boycott of china your pretend clients were telling you about in your completely fabricated conversations?

Did you find that link between Essex, Solihull and Liverpool.

It's a shame you are mocking teachers as if you'd just listened to them at school you wouldn't have to pretend to be successful online.
