He seems to have disappeared.

Why are you all so cynical, it's nauseating. I'm no supporter of the Tories or Boris but nor do I think we'd be better off with Starmer. On the whole Boris and the others have done well reacting to the situation day after awful day. There shouldn't have been parties of course but before we criticise we should all look back over the last two years. Can we all honestly say we haven't broken or 'bent' the rules a bit, and then justified it to ourselves. Be honest.

I'll be honest. I haven't broken or even bent any Covid rules ever - not once.

I haven’t broken or bent any rules. I find it nauseating that you choose to judge people LuckyFour, especially when so many of us have lost loved ones and not even able to say goodbye.

Meryl it’s both.

Hiding!

blossom14 Tue 18-Jan-22 14:14:17

Meryl it was said rather tongue in cheek. However I do remember that we were not supposed to sit on Park benches at the time.
There were PCO's patrolling in the park.

JaneJudge Tue 18-Jan-22 14:13:51

Meryl, I brought my own adult daughter home who has a severe learning disability during the first lockdown. I have a lot of experience caring for people who lack mental capacity. You don't have to be so rude.

Nannina yes, Cummings and Johnson are despicable. Cummings is no longer in our employ but Johnson is. I believe he should resign. He’s a serial liar.
Cummings is out for revenge and it seems likely he has other poisonous yet true stories to tell

Well, surely we all knew that Cummings knew where the bodies were buried when he was 'exonerated' after his wee trip to Durham and the eye test journey to Barnard Castle?

should have been in the way of giving help and support
That made me laugh. Have you had any experience of Alzheimer sufferers. What do you think I do for her.

The daughter we moved in Nov 2020 has hyper mobility syndrome. Would you have told her sorry love, your own your own cos rules is rules that wasn’t going to happen.

I could give more reasons why I broke the rules but there’s no point really, is there. Your either someone who thinks for themselves or your not: I’m the former.

He is indeed MayBee70.

Cummings is far cleverer and more devious than the man child that we have for a PM.

Joesoap Tue 18-Jan-22 14:00:11

Does Boris think because he hasnt been seen, we will forget him and his sweet talking promises.NO WAY we will be waiting for you Boris, we will never give up.

Nannina Tue 18-Jan-22 13:49:06

He’s just been on radio 4 1pm news denying Cummings claims he warned Boris against the parties. Cummings saying there’s more to come and he’ll testify on oath. What a pair of despicable human beings

Curlywhirly Tue 18-Jan-22 13:48:26

I know MaizieD I watched the interview and when he said no-one told him the party was against the rules, I actually shouted at the TV " but you made the rules you bl**y dope"!!! You really couldn't make it up - someone needs to take that shovel off him, because he's just digging himself into a larger hole on a daily basis!

I didn't realise until today what a bunch of biased Labour supporters the ladies on Grandnet were, I would just like to ask when is Keir Starmer going to apologise for drinking beer in an enclosed space during lockdown, oh I forgot he was working.

Absolutely and totatlly different situations! How ridiculous to even begin to compare.

pathetic.

He can’t say anything else. He’s hanging on by his fingertips.

Are you serious? or was that a joke. You were worried about a PCO questioning you.

I think I would have felt sorry for anyone that pulled me up on my way to my daughters. My anger was off the scale, particularly the journey I made the day after professor lockdown admitted he’d invited his girlfriend over for a bit of afternoon rumpy pumpy.

MaizieD Tue 18-Jan-22 13:38:40

Unbelievable.

Sky news has released an interview with Johnson. Transcript from Lewis Goodall on twitter

@BethRigby
: "To be clear you're saying Cummings is lying and his version of events is untrue?"

PM:"I can tell you categorically that nobody told me and nobody said that this was sthing that was against the rules or a breach of covid rules or something that wasn't a work event.."

This is the man that posters are claiming made a brilliant job of coping with the pandemic.

His government, led by him, made the rules. If you don't think that the leader of the government that made the rules should be very familiar with them there is absolutely no hope for you!

The big boys made me do it, nobody told me it was wrong.. grin

I am totally, totally, lost for words...?

JaneJudge

I haven't either

Neither have I. But there again, I don't set the rules.

JaneJudge Tue 18-Jan-22 13:31:39

Personally, I think if rules were to be broken it should have been in the way of providing help and support Meryl fwiw

Is it your choice not to travel to mainland Europe because of the virus, or is it the hoops you have to jump through.

blossom14 Tue 18-Jan-22 13:27:00

We sat on a park bench as DH couldn't make it round the circuit without 5 minutes rest! Though we had to keep a lookout for PCO patrol.

Jaye53 Tue 18-Jan-22 13:23:41

It certainly is Casdonsmile

silverlining48 Tue 18-Jan-22 13:20:27

We havnt broken any rules either, it’s a restricted, dull life we have been living.
AC lives in Europe havnt met since 2019. Hopefully Easter but who knows.
