Every decent parent would do anything to safeguard their child.

What, like if you're worried that your eyesight is too dodgy to drive, you put your child in the car with you when you go for a drive to test it?

"Dominic Cummings could walk on water tomorrow and the headline in the press would be 'Dominic Cummings can't swim'."

Every decent parent would do anything to safeguard their child. This is nothing to do with virus rules and everything to do with a witch hunt by the press and those who simply don't like Cummings. Why are there no demands for Gething or Kinnock to resign? They broke the rules just to socialize, not to safeguard. A very loud silence about that, isn't there?

No idea about Kinnock, but maybe the reason there is a loud silence about Vaughan Gething is this:
'A Welsh Government spokesman said: “Absolutely nothing the Minister is reported to have done contravenes Welsh Government regulations.'

Because they are not in government which puts a whole different level of responsibility on people
Because they didn't author the behaviour code and then break their own code of honour

Here's me thinking that everyone is equal under the eyes of the law, be he a lawmaker or a dustman. Luckily for me you were here to put me straight, El Squidness.

I thought those on the left wanted equality. How wrong was I?

Insignificant ineffectual Lefty response.

Watching Cummings 'performance' yesterday, it was all too obvous there were a few poorly thought thru porkies thrown in there. If he broke the rules, then he should resign, fair do's. But if that doesn't apply to all those who transgressed, then it really does begin to look like a 'witch hunt', a Brexit fuelled one.

What did Neil Ferguson and Catherine Calderwood have to do with Brexit?

They didn't, and this hasn't anything to do with Brexit either.

The Brexit claim is a total red-herring rolled out by many who support him.

Time to move on I think - did he break it or not? No-one really knows. What I do think now is that he possibly didn't break it, but he didn't do all he could to keep it.

A bit confused about his eyesight problem - and as for BJ telling us he's having to take up wearing glasses, rather than cool the whole issue it just heated it up again!

Even if you accept that Cummings broke the rules to safeguard (not a given) by driving to Durham, taking the family on a pleasant drive and sit down by a river while telling people to STAY AT HOME was not safeguarding. It is embarrassing. Everyone knows he's a liar.

Nobody cares about Gething or Kinnock because they didn't make then break their own rules. I would be perfectly happy for them to be punished, but talking about them is just a distraction as they didn't set the rules, design the slogans etc.

People who did help make the rules, then broke them, like professor Ferguson and his Scottish counterpart, said 'ok you've got me' and resigned with no fuss as soon as they were found out.

I don't recall them trying to spin their way out of it or holding press conferences to desperately try and keep their job. They just did the decent thing.
