When can you get it into your strange noggin that Brexit is far from the minds of people at the moment.

This is all about Brexit, otherwise Stephen Kinnock and the other Labour MP who went to two funerals in one day would also be catching ****.

Mountain out of a molehill.

Molehill? These aren't remainer politicians saying this and probably not even remainer voters...

Love the way right wingers are deflecting this to the press.

What are the odds in him having an accident that required the attendance of the emergency services?

I feel like I have wandered into a weird game of crap posts Top Trumps where you have just played the top scoring 'Desperation' card to take the game from John.

I'm sure that Cummings is relieved to hear that you are not calling for him to be sacked. He"s probably been on tenter hooks waiting for your position to be made clear.

I think you wondered into the realms of bullshine with your post on probability ("The trip made by Cummings may or may not have exposed members of his family to the risk of infection but, if it did, the number of people involved was probably low. Compare that to the number of people involved in the media scrum that you seem to want to turn a blind eye to and everyone else they then associate with. I’m surprised that you could bring yourself to type such twaddle.")

More bullshine...What are the odds of any of photographers having the virus? And if none of them had it there is zero chance of it being passed on within the media scrum.

Take no notice he is in full wind up mode atm (as befits). All a bit tasteless though...

Before you reply tho Mr Kerr Id appreciate it if you could answer my other question

[the_idiotb_stardson]

Cummings is not the story.

Wake up!

Wake up!

It's well known that counting sheep puts you to sleep

Mind you sheep can only concentrate on one thing at a time so pointing out other breaches of lock down procedures is too much for them to handle.

Really surprised me with that comment.
Suggests that "stay at home" was erroneous advice. Can everyone say "what's the odds?"

You need to consider the context of my comment, which was in response to the apparent view of some that Cummings’ behaviour was more reprehensible than that of the press pack who door-stepped him.

No, the stay at home advice is not erroneous. It is about reducing the rate at which the virus spread by restricting the opportunities for it to do so. My observation was that the opportunity for the virus to be spread by Cummings’ trip was small and that relying, as raging did, upon the vanishingly small risk that he would be involved in an accident that required the attendance of the emergency services smacked of desperation to try to find an argument.

Everybody assesses their own risks, or at least they should do.
