Coronavirus

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

I see Jeremy Corbyn has been fined for flouting the rules. Like Ska face and others have said "all in it together" - not a chance when it comes to politicians of whatever persuasion.

Not that I am blaming Jeremy Corbyn - all these stupid rules are just begging to be broken.

Especially after Mr Cummings set the precendent.

It's good and correct that Jeremy Corbyn was fined for breaking the rules on how many people can gather together in a private residence. He shouldn't have done it and it's right that he's apologised.

Anyway v interesting that you focus on Corbyn and not Dominic Cummings or Margaret Ferrier who both decided it was fine to travel the length of the country AFTER testing positive for Covid.

Actually I don't think Corbyn was fined after all. One rule for them, one rule for us you might say.

The Corbyn story broke first which is why I commented on it. Keep your eyes peeled I might make a comment about Margaret Ferrier later today, or perhaps not.

All politicians of all parties break rules, whether covid related or not but if it comforts you to keep deriding Mr Cummings then go ahead.

On Cummings, Johnson’s lack of action and the complete lack of action by the police in not fining him are a completely different scale of Offence in relation to how the public has reacted to this virus.
What Corbyn did was wrong and he has rightly apologised and likewise with Johnson’s father in not wearing a mask.
A SNP MP has travelled the length of the country after testing positive and rightly been suspended from her Party and is facing calls to resign. Johnson is unlikely to join in because the ghost of the Dominic Cummings affair hangs over everything he does.
Like it or not Johnson’s failure to deal properly with Cummings really was a changing point in the country’s attitude, it is still mentioned on every phone in on the Covid restrictions six months later

No one would disagree that he should be fined & I'm sure he wouldn't have an issue with that.
He's actually apologised unlike a certain character who still insists he didn't do anything wrong at all

Saw this in the Guardian, it would be amusing if it wasn’t so serious


One Tory MP in a constituency in southern England said his local members were often small business-owners or professionals, who were bewildered at what they saw as a clownish lack of professionalism in Downing Street. “It’s like ‘carry on coronavirus’, with Boris as Sid James and Matt Hancock as Kenneth Williams,” he said

I see Donald Trump might be facing the consequences of his actions/using the pandemic for his political gains.

Would be my gut feeling.

Cutting edge technology they promised.

They were using Microsoft Excel to manage the database of positive tests, and they exceeded the maximum number of rows allowed in the table, so Excel simply dropped the extra data and nobody noticed.
