General discussion on current situation

Do they employ a nanny?
If she was live-in help she would be part of the household and have to go with them.
At 4 yrs old, their son is probably in Nursery school or Primary, so the family may not need full time help.

Now it all makes sense. DC might have jumped the gun a bit, but presumably this is one of the reasons for ditching "Stay At Home" in favour of the new slogan.

And once the rest of us start using motorways again, I expect the road safety message on the matrix signs will be "Stay Alert".

I felt it was an impressive piece of amateur acting - the frequent stammer, the apparent searching for answers to difficult questions, the appeal to our sympathy for his dilemma when all he could think about was the welfare of his child dadidadidah.. 


I always remember the advice 'never offer more than 1 excuse' - when he started saying another reason for his trip was that his home was targeted I just laughed out loud. After 14 days suddenly the house was safe enough for the whole family to return 


It's actually terrifying that our PM appears to be just a puppet of this unelected spin Doctor.

Or 'Get your eyes checked'

My favourite review of Cummings' performance so far:  "He sounded like a man in A&E explaining why he had a cucumber stuck up his bottom".

Ha ha to the cucumber remark 

Usually when you're ill you have to be  ill at your usual abode, or hospital, otherwise you could be dismissed from your job. 

When asked whether he'd told his employer that he was leaving town, he replied "No".  When we see him in Downing Street he usually has a folder of documents with him.  What if he had taken documents home that his employer needed but he wasn't there and hadn't told anyone where he was going?
 
According to DC.  During the Barnard Castle eyesight test drive, his wife and child went into the woods, he also went into the woods.  After getting back into the car he then felt sick, after the nausea passed he spoke with his wife and they decided to drive back to London the next day.

Apparently this man is a key decision maker !

Which is why I find it incredible that he apparently didn't have any contingency plans in place for his family in the event of him falling ill.

I found it interesting that, although the three newish slogans were still on the lecterns, Boris seemed to avoid telling us to Stay Alert/Stay at Home; Save the NHS; Save Lives..

He left us with

Wash your Hands

The real frightening aspect of all this debacle is Boris.

He is well known to be the Buffoon of politics yet a sizeable portion of the Country voted for him.

Yes those of you who voted Boris into the post of PM are the problem.
