Covid 19 and the Media

[Geoff Parkstone]

Please do! He should be jailed for disservice to music anyway!

But lets be realistic - we could be a nation of 66.65 million law breakers, and rA would still have it in for just one of them. Heaven help us should he ever let political bias cloud his judgement in the manner that he has accused TTR of

But, I do agree with him, that the law makers need to be whiter than white. In this case Cummings has pushed the boundaries too far, with his test drive reasoning.

He, of all people, should know that when the media set out to get something, they will do so.

Cummings is a civil servant, not an elected member of the legislature: ergo he may be a law drafter, but he is not a law maker. That rests with parliament

Perhaps, I should have said part of the establishment.

Dare I add Michael Ball to that list in his 'new job', journalist for the BBC, when he travelled from wherever to 'interview' Captain Tom, on his birthday?

And Ian Blackwood, who despite having a home in London at tax payers expense, drove back to Skye over 600 miles(I'm sure he did it without stopping), after the lock down, instead of staying in Londo, One of the biggest screamers calling for Cummings head. Pot and kettle springs to mind.

What are you talking about and what am I meant to have accused TTR of, or are you **** stirring from about two weeks ago...again?
I’ve been out most of the day, and I’ve said, twice...if they’ve broken the rules then they must pay the price whichever Party they belong to.
I’ve even acknowledged that Cummings ran circles around the nation’s press.

My only points about Cummings are...1) I find his explanation of why he drove to Barnard Castle to be ridiculous and unbelievable.
2) I find his rational in driving virtually the length of the country when he suspected that both he and his wife had Coronavirus to be completely irresponsible.
3) I don’t think those who make the rules should break them...it’s called hypocrisy.

Why does that mean that I’m out to get Cummings to the exclusion of ‘66.65 million lawbreakers’?

Of course though, this isn't a witch hunt and all coverage will be based on impartiality,

What he is on about RA, was that you accused me of basing my responses on political bias.
I was not defending Cummings, but I was defending the right to fair treatment for all.
That makes me look like a Cummings supporter, even though I said sack him.

Somewhere in the debate on Cummings either here or the dedicated thread you suggested tricky was showing political bias when pointing to 3 Labour mp's who had broken lockdown and gone unpunished. Was earlier this werk or weekend I believe.

What's good for the goose.....
