General Discussion
All those visitors to North Devon happened after the lock down rules were relaxed (not that they should have been relaxed in the way that they were imho). Cummings' transgression took place when we were all (or so we thought) under much tighter lockdown. At the very best he bent the rules so far that they almost snapped. He is guilty as charged of breaking two rules at least. 1. Going ...

You may not be angry, but the comment below sums up why what he did is of such significance. "Stuart Beer, an insurance broker from Poole, said there was no incentive for the general public to follow Government advice if officials did not "practice what they preach". He said: "Cummings helped set the rules, so he has got to abide by them. If he hasn't, he should go. If the Government are ...

But the thing is, and unlike Cummings, they are not in positions of power (unelected in his case) and very actively involved in determining what the Coronavirus policy should be. Why you or anyone else thinks that the continuation of Cummings in Downing Street will be a positive for your beloved Boris and his government is beyond me (and quite a few Tory MPs as well as it happens).
Ahem! I think you'll find there are prominent Leave MPs in the mix of those calling for the defenestration of Cummings.

Robert Jenrick The Housing, Communities and Local Government Secretary was forced to explain himself after travelling more than an hour to visit his ...
Not condoning the Kinnock trip at all, but as far as I am aware he didn't travel when both he and the person he was with were already displaying Coronavirus symptoms. Nor was he heavily involved in determining the government's policy with regard to Coronavirus. Unlike Demonic Cummings.
Just been watching Simon Hoare MP (Con. N. Dorset) being interviewed on BBC. Says his inbox is bursting with irate emails from constituents. Said that if, god forbid, we have another lockdown then why not have everyone following their instinct rather than the rules? A fair enough question given the excuse being put forward by Johnson and Cummings. Anyone know what our MP's ...
Check out the front page of today's Daily Mail. Here's an extract: "has given every selfish person a licence to play fast and loose with public health".
Ah yes, let us not forget that Borisonian good old British common sense. I would have thought it common sense that if a lot of people travel to the coast and inland beauty spots then social distancing will become a problem with the common sense consequent possibility of the virus going above R1 again. But hey, as you say, everyone seem to be doing their own interpretation of the rules now ...
