Neither am I sure which bit of ‘seems ridiculous and equally wrong’ you don’t understand.

I do recognise ‘deflection’ when I see it though, so on a thread entitled ‘Cummings Press Statement’ should we stick to that?
Then if you want to start a similar thread about ‘Ali Funeral Statement’ that’s up to you.

In the meantime...when someone helps design a slogan telling everyone to ‘Stay at Home’, ‘Protect the NHS’, ‘Save Lives’, maybe, just maybe, he should abide by it, and reconsider the wisdom of - while allegedly suffering from Covid-19 - travelling 260 miles to his elderly parents farm because his wife had thrown up and he didn’t feel very well, and then going for a thirty mile jaunt to a local beauty spot to sit by the river and check his eyesight.
RA, i concur with a lot about what you've said. But why just Cummings?
You do not have to explain to me what he did. I know and don't agree with it. Some can/will argue his reasons were valid.
I don't.
But there is a bigger picture here and all I see is a witch hunt. Technically, he did nothing wrong. Moralistically, yes he did.
But there is a delight in hounding him, with the ommitence of every other offender going.

Even Kinnock, he travelled because it was his dads birthday? Good reason? I don't think so.
Sorry, but it smacks of axe to grind.
