When she can't be arsed looking after her own kid because it's her birthday and she's got a sniffle? Yes.

[Cherry Christmas]

I can just about get over taking the kid to Durham but put your hands up that going to Barnham Castle was a nice drive out and returning to work when you thought you thought your wife had Covid was not clever either

Don't let this become normal; he did this whilst folks were sacrificing.

What really angers me, is that Gove outright lied when he said that he had gone out driving to test his eye sight in the past .... when someone is prepared to go to that level of lying, we can't have any confidence in the government. He should have been sacked for that lie alone

Oh for sure, I don’t believe the story but at a push it could be true, it’s more likely it was Easter holidays they had booked the time off anyway as school would be closed, it was a Friday night so they headed off

No they bloody wouldn't as plenty have said all day on tv , they stayed put just like Dom told them to, whilst ignoring his own slogan and advice.

Were they all government advisors/key workers, were their circumstances as important to the nation as his were?

Fair enough the castle journey, but it sounds like they covered all social distancing advice during that so it really ain't that big an issue for me..


Not for someone that important to the nation, who cares..

The better person will look down their noses at him in the future and call him the king of barney castle, proud in the knowledge they abided by the law.


I will say though, if I and the mother if my son both took unwell and thought it was corona, and we had no other option for childcare I would be in the motor up the road in no time if my mum said..come here, stay in the outhouse..


Tell me you wouldn't do the same!

It was of the utmost importance for him to drive to his mother's farm because he's a government advisor?

Good grief.

[Morgan.]

I mean going on a 30 minute drive to a castle to test your eyesight is just wrong on all levels and a blatant lie.

You have no evidence to say that

[Christmas Dynasnow]

No

He can't help where his parents live and if you can't provide me evidence to say he is lying then move on, put your pitchforks and your pearls in your shed and mind your own beeswax

Whether he's lying is neither here nor there really, if it's a lie or if it's the truth it broke the rules either way.

The rules were to not self isolate anywhere other than your home, do not travel, do not drive, do not go to a second home, stay at home, it’s really that simple, whether he’s lying about his reasoning or not (he is), by doing what he did he blatantly broke the rules

That’s what was advised...however there was an exemption if childcare was an issue. Going 260 miles to his mothers therefore was not a rule break, it’s not his fault they live so far away...and that was his only option for possible childcare.
The rule break was the drive out to the castle...

The exception for young children was but in place to safeguard children in abusive and negligent households, it wasn’t meant to be abused by those in power do they could have a family holiday for some family birthdays, it was all against the rules
