Isn't this supposed to be a non political forum? I think we can do without jibes about who voted for what party.

Lickess- North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough.
Etherington - North Yorks and Durham.
Barker- North Yorks
Crooks- Durham
Forster- North Yorks/Durham

Timothy, Griffiths, Jones - South Wales

Roobarb - this thread has been political from the beginning . Politics doesn't stop at the ballot box.

It's supposed to be about the current situation, ie related to Covid19. Yes of course politics comes into that but comments about which way people voted in the General Election are not relevant.

How people vote determines the policies that are followed. The thread has been about the policies that are in place to handle the current crisis and how they are being operationalised and managed.

I'm not really interested about who voted for whom.  Biggles appears to be.

Quite right Gadget, I don't find Boris Johnson scary, what I do find scary is people who think he's doing a good job!

Skoosh.

I wonder why there is not any uproar on this forum about the following Labour MPs who have flouted the lockdown rules whereas there has been a lot of outrage stirred up in the main by the media being consevative with the truth and indeed lying about events about Dominic Cummins. Who according to not only the written down lockdown laws and guidelines has not broken any laws or rules, even the Attorney General, Suella Braverman  has stated Dominic Cummings has broken no laws.

Welsh Secretary Vaughan Gething  who went for exercise  in Wales (allowed) but stopped to eat with his family at a time when such picnics were prohibited

Steven Kinnock who drove hundreds of miles to see his parents on his dad's birthday and was urged by the police to obey the regulations

Tahir Ali who went to a funeral with many other people (Birmingham City Council limits mourners at a funeral to six ) and was criticised as "totally irresponsible" by West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, David Jamieson.  (Gatherings in public of more than two people who do not share a household have been banned under coronavirus lockdown measures.)

 Kevan Jones (Durham MP) breaking the rules, along with some police officers, to attend a VE Day-themed birthday party for a 100-year-old constituent.

Cheers

People all around the country are flouting the rules.  We have a big house near us, we don’t generally see the owners more than 3 or 4 times a year.  They employ a gardener handyman and housekeeper.  About 3 weeks in to lock down the family appeared. Since then they have regularly had friends to stay.  This weekend 9 assorted age people over from the US have come for a ‘holiday’  >:(. How do I know, because being a nosey old biddy I stopped the older member of a group of 6 and asked who they were and where were they going. They were cycling on a private access road at the time.

We’ve also seen two people camping in a tent on farm land, oh, it’s OK though because they’re walking the South Downs Way so not mixing with anyone. Didn’t ask where they are buying food or what they are doing for facilities.

It’s the fact that DC is one of those calling the shots, a man in a position of power and privilege and who should be leading by example that makes my blood boil.

Bo Jo’s latest ought to now read, don’t do as I do but do as I say.
