Know your place

Dominic Cummings, who attended SAGE meetings, helped shape and write Government guidance and then traveled from London to Durham for some "childcare", the rest of the country listened to the rules and obeyed. Many were not with their loved ones last moments as they died or were buried.

Cummings then drove to Barnard Castle on his wife's birthday to "check his eyesight", before driving back to London.

Today, it emerged that the Prime Minister's Father, Stanley Johnson, broke immigration rules to visit his holiday home in Greece, by traveling via Bulgaria. He conducted interviews from the balcony of his villa. It was also against Foreign Office advice.

So Johnson Snr left a place with some of the highest infection rates, took two flights, to a place that is currently virus-free but has poor medical services, just so he could go on holiday!

Rules are for small people, they don't apply to the elite who call others elites.

Instead of making rules clear, the PM says the public will use their common sense. So when they don't, cases spike we will blame ourselves instead of there being no plan or the unlocking of businesses too soon.

We really are that stupid, as a poll on the Peston Show last night who were asked, twice as many people blamed the public rather than themselves for any upcoming second wave. Anything to have to face the fact that Johnson was PM when 45,000 people died as a result of his failed leadership, maybe another 20,000 excess deaths of people who are gone before their time, £300 billion spaffed on supporting business and industry during the job retention scheme, and no plan what to do once the lockdown ends.

And on top of that, once people are back at work, Brexit will come along and ravage jobs.

But blame the public. Blame "the science". Blame the Civil Service for being "sluggish", blame still being linked to the EU, but don't say sorry for your own failings.

In other news: pubs are to be opened on Saturday, and yet the Home Office of Ministry for Health has so far failed to publish any guidance/legislation. And alo the rules under which Leicester is being held to has also failed to be published. Meanwhile the Home Office is tweeting that you should do your civic duty and go to the pub and drink......
