And it says she called for Dominic Cummings' resignation, you couldn't make it up!

Personally, I don't give a s**t which side of the border this MP is from, I'm just heartily sick to the back teeth of MPs, from all persuasions, telling us what to do whilst doing what the hell they like. Arrogance, ignorance and hypocrisy is rife in every political party and I'd like to see every one of them who has "broken the rules", sacked and charged with a criminal offence under the Coronavirus Act. angry

Urmston ?? I will pm you to see how they are.Fingers crossed it isn’t Covid.

The alleged poster will probably not post on this thread as it is anti a Scottish MP.
However if it was an English MP or a member of the RF who had traveled on public transport whilst knowingly testing positive for Covid-19 they would have been posting in SHOUTY CAPITALS, incessantly.

Just depressing really. What hypocrites these people are. Calling for Cummings to go and then travelling to and from Scotland on a train? Regardless of her political allegiance she is a disgrace. It’s shocking.

Do give over......much ado about nothing, as usual.

I’m not having a dig at you btw lemon I’m calling you out openly and honestly and not hiding behind a snide reference to ‘a certain poster’

Yes WW exactly - she’s not even on this thread. Cowards

suziewoozie Thu 01-Oct-20 20:54:44

Keep on keeping on - your post makes you sound a little wounded lemon. Not enough people sharing yours snd Terribulls so called sense of humour and having a nasty dig at a clearly identifiable poster? I’d have more respect for the two of you if you had the guts to name her but no, letter of the guidelines not the spirit.

Oh come on, it’s more like a few posters are using the situation to have a dig at me.....(please don’t think I don’t realise this.)
I found terribull’s comment amusing not the fact that a
SNP did what she did.MP’s from all parties, including the SNP are behaving badly.
Do continue with unpleasant po faced comments though, if it floats your boat.

No, it was the post implicating another poster who doesn’t appear on this thread and the snide comments about her. It isn’t all about you, however much you may like to think it is but about fair play, and those posts weren’t

That is not an attack on any particular poster btw, but some posts.

Politicians in all parties seem to think they are above the rules or the law and that the virus won't affect them.
You'd think Johsnson having caught it and been very ill would have made them realise they are not immune. They are not some elite, superior beings.

I don't understand how she can have been so stupid! Or is it an I'm alright Jack, the rules don't apply to me, so there!.

janipat I agree with you. All the rail staff she has come in contact with have been compromised.
A totally selfish and astoundingly arrogant woman! She is not fit to represent the people in her constituency. Has she no integrity?

Whitewavemark2 Thu 01-Oct-20 20:44:26

I’m sure she will resign. How can you live with yourself knowing that you may have passed on the virus and possibly killed someone?

The pressure for her to go seems to be building.

Like the MP in question I called on Cummings to be sacked or resign, so I guess she'll do the honourable thing and resign now, or else she's an even bigger hypocrite. She has risked the lives of the humble workers at the HOC, like my friend who works in the catering department, as well as her fellow passengers and train staff.

suziewoozie Thu 01-Oct-20 20:41:04

Mrs Rochester I know <sigh> it’s beyond comprehension. Some breaches you can understand why someone behaved as they did , even though it was wrong, but this? How can you ever understand it?

I'm sorry I couldn't read this due The Heralds cookies policy....why do these Companies browbeat us into accepting invasive cookies!
Will she resign?

Just delete them before you log off, cupaffull

Thanks ladies for your supportive messages. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
No lemon I’m still in Spain.
Back home next month. Then staying there for 6 months.
No more flights for me once I’m back!

Mrs Rochester she reporter herself to the police and may well be charged. I’d guess she will be. Alegrias costed posts.

Well, that’s something, I suppose. Begs the question though, why on earth behave that way in the first place?
Subsequent, public self-flagellation won’t undo any harm she has already done.
I’m an extremely insignificant member of the public: I wouldn’t dream of behaving that way.

PamelaJ1 Thu 01-Oct-20 20:33:27

Urmstongran, hope the news is good. ?

lemongrove Thu 01-Oct-20 20:33:18

Hope your family are all ok Urmston a worry for you, are you back in the UK now?

suziewoozie Thu 01-Oct-20 20:32:22

There was a great deal of hypocrisy amongst the majority of Tory MPs who did NOT call for Cummings to resign. A fair number of whom have breached rules/guidelines themselves ( but not of course of this magnitude)

Marydoll Thu 01-Oct-20 20:32:10

Urmston, how worrying for you all. I hope the tests are negative. ?
