One rule for the elite, one for everyone else. 2 hours ago, rooster59 said: The Labour Party said there should not be one rule for politicians and another rule for the British people. The Liberal Democrats said that if Cummings broke the guidelines, he should resign. Nobody seemed bothered (especially Labour) when Stephen Kinnock visited his down and out parents during the lockdown, to the best of my knowledge he is still a MP is he not. So you are correct, one rule for Labour and another for everybody else. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Chomper Higgot 36,929 Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 4 minutes ago, vogie said: Sometimes government guidelines take second place when there is family problems, if he thought that his son would be better cared for 260 miles away it says to me 'good father' As Michael Gove said "caring for your family is not a crime" It’s not quite that simple. Putting aside the obvious and real risk of this idiot spreading the disease, the Government he advises has enacted restrictions of movement that has cause severe hardship for millions of people. And yet here Gove is defending someone who refuses to abide by the rules the Government have put in place. It stinks of privilege for the few in contempt of the many. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He could have employed an agency nurse to look after the kid at home. Might say to you "good father", to me it says "lousy father, lousy son and extremely irresponsible citizen of the UK". One mans meat is another mans poison. Say hello to the darkside from me. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We are discussing Dominic Cummings, not Steven Kinnock (another tosser). 8 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tribalfusion001 5,944 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Stupid rules anyway, bit like the new quarantine one coming in. It states that you might get a spot check phone call to see if you are adhering to the quarantine, pointless and unenforceable. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post vinny41 3,127 Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 18 minutes ago, Phil McCaverty said: Did you read the story? He wanted to get rid of the kid by dumping him on the grandparents 260 miles away. He had been in contact with a known Covid case (johnson) and both he and his wife had symptoms. So the kid , who was possibly Covid+ too was driven 260 miles to be dumped on his aged parents. Not a good parent, not a good son and criminally in breach of just about every government guideline on Covid. According to the sky report "His sister and nieces had volunteered to help so he went to a house near to but separate from his extended family in case their help was needed. His sister shopped for the family and left everything outside https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-labour-demands-explanation-after-reports-dominic-cummings-broke-lockdown-rules-11993051 So no case of dumping on the grandparents as you stated 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly if you have adults who are unable to look after a small child, that is an exceptional circumstance. And if the individuals do not have access to care support - formal care support - or to family, they will be able to work through their local authority hubs. Link to post Share on other sites

So you are correct, one rule for Labour and another for everybody else. Exactly, proves the point. One rule for the elite and another for everyone else. It's obviously something that applies to all of the ruling elite. So do you have a problem with one of them, both of them or neither of them?
