BTW, Racism works both ways. I was spat at by black people some years ago. What was my crime? Being WHITE!
@Burneside - anyone else 'caught' transgressing the rules who held positions of authority have resigned or at the very least apologised. Cummings has done neither. And whether he or you like it or not his position in No 10 means he is in a position of authority. If he cocks a snoop at what people are supposed to do, or not supposed to do, then others will follow suit. It is as ...
The scenes in London are utterly disgraceful, violent protestors rampaging through streets, and on today of all days Churchill's statue and the Cenotaph have been vandalised. And there's another protest planned for outside the American Embassy tomorrow, it should be banned forthwith.
Pitif ul t urno ut ( 400 ) at exeter for the BLM, seems most folk had common sense and stayed away or perhaps the did not want to catch covid-19.

Of course Cummings is involved in the policy decisions of Number 10.! What do you think his job is?! Of course he is involved in the writing of the rules. The problem with the lack of resignation of Cummings/sacking of him by Boris is that it sends out the message that if Cummings can hypocritically break/bend rules that he has been involved in formulating then so can everyone else. ...
Cummings did not write the rules, the scientific and medical advisers did that, but using your reasoning if you do not personally make the rules you can ignore them?
No double standards Burneside. For.They. Are. Not. Part. Of. The. Group. Which. Makes. The. Covid. Rules. (apologies for using a two syllable word - I did try very hard to use only one syllable ones in order to aid your comprehension) PS Rosie Duffield did the honorable thing and resigned her post as a Labour whip. Unlike a certain unelected SPAD. PPS and then there's the matter ...
There seems to be double standards at play here... Labour MP Stephen Kinnock breaks lockdown rules to visit his father on his birthday (March 28th) Labour MP Tahir Ali attends funeral with scores of people in attendance (April 1st) Labour MP Rosie Duffield breaks lockdown rules to meet her married boyfriend (April)
I have heard two conversations this morning from my open window and both conversations were along the lines "it's all over bar the shouting nothing to worry about now" my thoughts they have no idea what is round the corner.
