The numbers of Covid are very much down, but I’m half watching the s*** show that is itv news and they’re pushing the Covid emergency as much as possible, then onto shops opening, back to Covid panic and then onto how local councils are seriously lacking funding now and in future. Oh and back to Covid panic and a Scottish nurse talking about her experience and how she hopes funding will increase, from an economy that doesn’t work.

Tonight I’ve seen doctors and nurses on all the news programmes in hospitals with no patients to treat, that they’ve admitted themselves, telling what it was like during the crisis. So now the crisis is closing, they’re telling us about when it was at its peak and then tell us about problems that can only be solved without fear being fed to the masses.

This is all seriously wrong. Boris and Cummings are guilty of this continuing, not keeping a four year old within immediate family. But it looks like they either don’t want it to look like they’ve got it a bit wrong and are willing to drag it out for longer, or they want us to believe they saved us when it looks like it’ll be inevitable that this hangs around for a while and we have to deal and accept it rather for a short while longer rather than think you can beat a virus with a lockdown that isn’t even a lockdown anyway.

His son is autistic? Wow, seen no proof of that. Well, if he is the worst thing to do is to suddenly break his routine. Poor child. Everyone that knows about autism would recognise that as a major mistake.

Do you demand proof of autism as well now if not it must be assumed he is lying but even so autism has a massive range of spectrums some prefer a constant familiar routine others are always wanting constant change some are very intelligent some are very simple autism requires flexibility depending on the individual child's needs which is why it's such a difficult disability to be managed as a whole.

That though is the point.

Cummings is NOT "thousands" of other people. He is partly the architect of the rules and known to be the closest adviser to the PM. Other people get fined if caught. We understand and we forgive because we are human and have families too.

Whatever sympathy you might have for him on a personal level is totally beside the point. If the public perception is such that it negatively impacts the government's own strategy then he has to go. Johnson can express all the regrets he likes and stay in touch over the phone and zoom, but the public need to know that when people like him break the rules they get sacked. Just as other, lesser, advisers have been.

I see nothing other than honest factual reporting of an extremely serious issue here. If what he did deserves the sack, Johson doesn't sack him and that is forecasted to cost lives, then that is the biggest story at the moment. Of course it's going to get wall to wall coverage.
