Too busy going to Barrow against a families wishes

Ooh I forgot the Attorney General backed Cummings and said he'd done no wrong.

Durham Police now say he did.

That does not look good for her.

Maybe they just support him as his family is genetically superior

Tommy Robinson apparently has 18points on his license (clearly politically motivated) and is a Covid 19 denier. Appeals for calm after Tommy Robinson visits Barrow amid protests

I miss him tbf, he had a good knack of winding everyone up.

Especially himself!
I'm sure he'll be back. I think he had some extended leave coming up hopefully he's enjoying himself.

Though to be fair they may not be regular contributors under any circumstances.

What do you think.the Tories have done well in this crisis and what criticism is unfair in your opinion?

I've always voted Tory. However, when the next election is held I'll have serious reservations about voting for the present Tory bunch of incompetents and lightweights.

So the defence from number 10 is he still didn't breach regulations even though Durham police say he did.

Astonishing.

First they denied it. Then doubled down. Now tripled down.

They are only making it worse for themselves.

The Prime Minister and almost the entire cabinet publicly backed someone for breaking the law.

Get a load of this simp!!

It's what the losers of the internet call someone who has a girlfriend (I think). Poor joke.

Are the police looking into the issue of him admitting to driving while unable to see properly?

We now are down to 0 active cases. However we are now being inundated with boats coming from Africa. My son (ambulance driver) had to deal with one coming in on Tuesday. There was 50+ on board the boat, it required 2 coaches to take them to an army base, the only secure compound on our island, we don't have a jail here, just a few police cells in the capital. If we have a change in case numbers it will be because of these boats.

The police at the moment are being tipped off, so the coast guard can go and intercept them and bring them in safely, quarantined and make sure they get tested. The worrying thing is those that dont get caught, come straight onto the island, start mixing with everyone else. We also know they are heading to more popular islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife rather than here.

Since we are now in phase 2 it says we can travel any where in our province, which includes Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. We were also reading Binter was to increase the number of flights, but Binters web site says 'travel between the islands for essential travel only' which require permits as well as your empad. My wife was looking in to it, going to for our yearly shopping trip to Las Palmas before we get back into (hopefully) normal working routines.

I read about them arriving in GC but they were taken away like in Fuerteventura.

The whole travelling and flight thing is confusing, like you say Binter are increasing numbers but the news says to go to second homes, work or to check on family etc but people are flying to Tenerife to get flights back to the UK. Phase 2 was supposed to free up travel but maybe it will be Phase 3.

The whole communication thing has been awful, the rules really are not explained well and they contradict themselves.
I can collect my friends in my Jeep but we have to wear masks and gloves, but when we get to the bar we can sit together and remove them and sit together for as long as we want, but if we go to the beach after we have to sit apart again. The rules don't make any sense, lets just hope that in Phase 4 "The new normal" we can understand what the hell the new rules are.

Let me know when you go to Las Palmas and if i'm not working and got some spare cash i will come up and meet you both.

Wonder what his insurance company has to say about it also. As he’s confessed to driving while not fit was he even covered by insurance? Should the police be looking into that also?

Kind of reassuring it's not just us!

You've listed them in order of greatness, with a twat at the end .Not the front end, before any smart arse suggests.

Same here. This Cummings stuff changes a lot. And before anyone starts, Corbyn wouldn't have fared any better over the whole lockdown fiasco.
Still, when covid 20 arrives , we'll have learned so much from our mistakes we'll have one of the lowest death rates. Haha.

I am no Corbyn fan, far from it, but he quite literally could not have done any worse.

...oh I don't know .I do think starmer would have been much better. Only my gut feeling. I like him.

The British people have become Yasmeen from Coronation street - gaslit, lied to, confused with whataboutery, manipulated to believe in bluster and faux blitz spirit nonsense. How far we have yet to fall I cannot say. If it wasn't costing lives I could shrug it off. I have been sorely tempted to join the, 'look after your own interests and ignore the bodies piling up' attitude.
But I can't. Seriously thinking of ignoring the Clap for carers tonight. I don't know if I can stomach standing in the street with neighbours I know voted Tory and I know will back BoJo when he gets round to blaming them and refusing to fund them and care homes before too long.

Boris is up for today's daily briefing.

Presumably with some good news to deflect away from the Cummings shitstorm. Pubs opening soon, or a lowering of the threat level.

But as the tracing system is not fully working until the end of June what could he possibly do to deflect.

Opening pubs isn't enough

It is for a lot of people though (unfortunately)

Good from Starmer, brutal in fact:


"I’ve seen what Durham Police have said. Obviously that, on the face of it, is inconsistent with what the prime minister said.

And that presents him with a problem. But, frankly, he’s too weak to do anything about it.

I don’t think he’s going to do anything because he cannot, it seems, continue without his adviser."

 

[David O'Day]

Maybe a week ago

Rumour is he will lower the meaningless warning level

Thing is, we don't know how Corbyn would have fared as he's not the one in charge. Fwiw I suspect his inability to make a decision would be exactly what we didn't need... but speculating doesn't alter who we do have leading us.

Would love to get out for a pint but if he opens pubs just to make himself look good when its clearly too soon he's a bigger wanker than I thought.

Its August 10th over here as the planned date for pubs & hospitality-type places to open- that will be absolute carnage

Yep, if he tries anything like that he is just opening himself up to accusations of sacrificing people to save himself.

i can't bear facing the neighbours opposite who have visitors every other day and still stand outside clapping every thursday at 8 . I am increasingly tempted to tell them to fuck off back inside.

If we can't count that, I'm not overly confident in our ability to track and trace...
