    There's a feeding frenzy. Even the Tories are out to get him. Does the arrogant **** give a ****? I doubt it.
     If the common folk obey the rules, the ' important people who really matter' can get on with their lives as normal.
    He's not the only one who's done it, he's the one who got caught.

    A difficult choice. I know who I'd chuck out of the balloon.

    I am so annoyed about the “instincts” excuse. MY instinct is to go and visit my exhausted Mum in law who is caring for her husband, who has severe dementia. But the science says shield them. And the rules say NOT to visit. 
    Child care?! A lame excuse. They should have all been at home, isolating, so no child care issue there.

    My instinct at the moment is to go and give them both a jolly good slapping!!! 

    But I’m an intelligent and civilised human being.

    Churchillian?!?!?! In his dreams ... He’s not fit to lick his boots ... the man’s a national disgrace. Shameful.

    My first reaction to the Cummins story was disbelief and outrage.  But I have read that the reason for taking his son to his parents is that he (son) is autistic, and would be significantly distressed if left in the care of someone outside the family.
    It may be true, or it may be more nuanced than that.  But unless there is transparency and honesty, the reaction of the public is going, inevitably, to be hostile.
    Another thought:  when Ferguson took a couple of trips across London to see his mistress, it was reported but without the feeding frenzy that seems to have beset journalists at the moment.
    Neither sets of behaviour are without justifiable criticism.  Could the Cummins focus be because there is almost a visceral loathing of the man coupled with what is known as "Boris bashing"?  And is there a loss of proportionate response as a result?

    Surely the boy would be comfortable with his nanny, she looks after him any other time.
