Well I finally ventured out for the first time since lockdown, mainly as I was missing decent sausages and know local butcher is strict on social distance and only 1 customer per time in the shop, 32 sausages in the freezer and other stuff no issues.
The mrs then decided we had to go to a mini Sainsbury’s for essentials, I headed in (she stayed in the car). Within 30 seconds I avoided 3 builders (no way related) rolling a cig with a homeless women, dodged that.
Got inside and nice 2 meter squares on the floor, within a minute a bloke probably mid 40’s walked right next to me to get his sausages and steak, I made a comment and he moved away and apologised. Just as he did a girl and lad in late teens walked straight through the middle of us, by then the air turned a little blue.
Those breaking the rule (other than the 1 guy) were average age low 20’s, everyone else was moving away, waiting and doing what was expected largely, and some more so.
The point is, we have the highest death rate in Europe, and that goes hand in hand with the highest level of dickheads and lowest level of general respect, add lack of allowable control from the police and, to a point governmental confusion.
Loads of things can be blamed but we are no longer a nation of shopkeepers, we are a nation of fcukwits, we need proper police control, fines, car seizures etc. Stop buggering about and do something about it, bombing Southend beach sadly is too extreme.
I won’t be heading out again for a long while. I genuinely wish I was German, or Dutch, or Australian, or ...........

As someone who’s been around the community every day since lockdown began, the traffic is without doubt increasing every day. The amount of people flouting the lockdown even in its strictest phase (usually young chavvy lads) was stupid. That a lot of people now seem like it’s time to act as normal again, social distancing be damned, is just frustrating. |
I've done a few fairly long cycle rides in the last week or so & the amount of litter that seems to have been dumped or chucked out of the car window in country areas is unbelievable. The peak of the hill between Bacup & Tod has clearly been used by people to sit and eat, but then they seem to put rubbish in 1 bag, knot the top & leave it. The worst I have seen is when I cycled from Newhay to Huddersfield on Huddersfield road, and when you reach the tops there is rubbish every few yards it seems. Most of this is not at areas where cars would stop but has just been thrown out of the window. A big clean up job after all this I think |  | | |

One thing that seems to have been overlooked in all this is how big his head is. |  |

This situation has introduced the world to the “justification culture” in its most exposed form. It’s something that has been pretty hidden in day to day life previously as everything else going on allowed that to happen, however in these strange times it is there for all to see.
I did this because they did it.
He did that because he had to do xyz.
She had to do that because of 123.
Why can he do that and I not do this? |  |

Forget the politics. See the people justifying.
So there we have it, caring for your family is not a crime. The nation will now all go round to see grandparents/cousins/uncles/sisters because apparently it’s ok as that bloke in the news did it and his mates said it isn’t wrong. | |

No politicising here. Just trying to sift through absolute nonsense.
Raab says: “ two parents with Coronavirus, were anxiously taking care of their young child”
The statement says: “ Owing to his wife being infected with suspected coronavirus and the high likelihood that he would himself become unwell, it was essential for Dominic Cummings to ensure his young child could be properly cared for.”
So which is right? Two parents with the virus or one who was infected with “suspected coronavirus”? [Post edited 23 May 2020 11:16]

I walked around baitings dam last week, the amount of litter in the path was staggering, people that obviously appreciate it is a nice spot to visit, but then leave their crap behind rendering it not a nice spot! [Post edited 23 May 2020 11:19]

In which case surely the extended family should have come to pick the child up, without interaction and staying over, not the infected family driving for hours | |

Get rid of all three. My point is, if Labour call for his sacking, surely they must do the same to Kinnock, otherwise it’s complete hypocrisy. |  | | |

Excellent. Thank you. I can restart my comments about illegal migrants. Apparently the government has changed it’s rules about reporters travelling to now only cover Covid related topics. There are other things going on. Could this be censorship!! Shouldn’t we be told about other things?
Wake up to what is going on. Read the reports on the bbc Kent site. |  | | |

Sadly this isn't new - its just that we normally pay the council staff to go pick it up every week. Only when those resources are tied up elsewhere do we spot it. I don't understand why people have lost respect for their own town/countryside. But that's another issue | | | |

If he goes, will Labour sack Stephen Kinnock? |
Did kinnock draw up the advice for everyone to avoid their family and only do essential journeys?. Your partisan support for all things Tory is getting silly. Cummings should resign | |

No, cars parked on the road, I only went there as it was so busy near the White House. Not that many people on the actual paths round | |

In response to DA saying he should resign you brought kinnock into the argument, not really relevant as he isn’t advising the government | |

Where did I say he should resign? I pointed out Kinnock did something very similar and he’s still in his job. Both are guilty so both should face the same consequences. I haven’t supported anyone on this subject, so please stop accusing me of something I haven’t done. | | | |

Have been impressed with this bloke so far. What a shame.
It’s noticeable to someone who doesn’t really get involved in the political debates on here, mainly because it isn’t my thing and I don’t claim to be as well informed as some, that, despite the odd hiccup, there’s little mention of the politics and definitely nobody on the thread who is trying to defend Cummings. Yet, it seems that those who do defend in positions of power are using the “scoring political points” stance to justify what has happened.
They really aren’t reading the public very well. | |

But if you think about it, it isn't about politics at all, it's about human decency, and hypocrisy which all politicians engage in to some degree or other (not to mention everyone else)
This business involving Cummings is a particularly egregious example, and he should go
What i suspect will happen is he will go, but will continue to act as an adviser except behind the scenes instead of popping into Downing Street (and committees) in front of the cameras
