It’s not right though is it?

That’s  obvious to most people 

If you mean the protection of Cummings then yes, I agree I think it's wrong.

For whatever reason, Boris has chosen his route and not given in to media clamouring- a strong, potentially pig headed stance and one that may come back to haunt him.

What I can't get my head around is folk somehow believing that if he can get away with it, then it's ok for them to do similar.

We all know why we've been asked to do all this, and one idiot in the public eye shouldn't change our commitment to it.

Otherwise, we are no better than him.

Make feelings known at the ballot box.

There are plenty of numpties using it as an excuse already.  A Police commissioner was on Five Live yesterday saying that officers are being challenged by people saying 'Cummings did it so why can't I ?' and similar.  It has made their job even harder.

Bob on. Just because a dickhead does something stupid doesn’t mean it’s OK for others to do the same

what if the government was then to say that said stupidity ws done "responsibly, legally, and with integrity"" ?

So should I do the very thing the Government tells me I must do, or the thing that the Government tells me is the right thing to do ?

Plenty before Cummings too.

Just merely proves that there are a lot of people chucking stones who perhaps shouldn't be.

I'd hazard a guess that there's not a single person on here who hasn't shaved the corner of a rule here or there, but used common sense. Perhaps with the exception of the odd high risk isolating poster.

Cummings pushed it way beyond the limits, but in reality it's not the police's job to be doing enforcement; it's the public's job to ensure they don't have to.

Really?

Everyone just carry on and don't bother then. See what happens.

Thats the result of the non action by the Government unfortunately.

When high profile breaking of the rules, for their own jollies, is accepted as ok, why shouldnt Fred from the council estate do the same?

The story moved on From Cummins about 5 days ago, to the tacit approval of the Government.

Its whether we as a country are happy having the piss taken out of us by those who are supposed to protect us

I really don’t go into it that deeply. I see the guidelines and I follow them. It’s really not that hard. Some folk want to make it hard to politically point score. I don’t. Some folk are thick. Some folk are dickheads. I like to think I’m neither.

I think it's a fair comment that constantly telling people that everyone is fucking lockdown off post-Cummings, is only going to make more people think everyone is fucking lockdown off. And therefore fuck lockdown off.

Whole thing is a shambles. SAGE advisors coming out saying that we still have too many cases to start easing lockdown, COVID alert scale has gone in the bin, the app doesn't work and the tracing system won't be fully up and running (let alone worldbeating) until the end of June. But they set a target and being seen to admit anything isn't going to plan < the virus, so we're doing it anyway. It is what it is.

Starting to think this might not be a 7/10 effort after all.

Be honest. It’s been a shitshow from day one. 

I don’t know. I think they’ve got a lot right, but seem to have been derailed by the Cummings nonsense and want to create positive news - but at what cost?

Im still just about in the camp that says this is a fucking horrid virus and a nightmare to deal with for countries with populations over 10 million.

Even South Korea are seeing spikes again 

I’ll look like I’m harping on, but the Cummings fiasco has really undone some good work. The population is walking a knife edge right now, it doesn’t take much to push people off.

The government would restore a lot of faith by potting him rather than telling everyone to have a fucking bbq
