    To a degree your right, it's those who are ignoring the rules that are the main problem. However, the Dominic Cummings fiasco hasn't helped. His actions may not have encouraged them to break the rules, as they would have broken them anyway; Dominic Cummings has just given them another excuse to use.

    We need to move on now. Any investigations/enquiries into the whole Coronavirus preparedness and response should, in the main, wait until after we emerge from this crisis.

    I suspect that Boris and Dominic are dead men walking now. Lots of rumours that the 1922 committee want Boris and Dominic to see us through this virus, so that they can be the fall guys afterwards. Then a new PM in place for the next general election. It seems to be the way the Conservative party work. In terms of general election strategies, for the most part, the Conservatives are streets ahead of Labour.

    It's all some have to hold onto especially her Majesties Opposition.
    You can hear it now when we come out of this pandemic and the country as well as most of the world will find we have a massive borrowed debt and the promises in the Tory manifesto are difficult to deliver some will wallow in their "told you you couldn't trust the Tories".

    First of all I do not think Cummings does things ‘cheekily’, from what I can see of him, he seems totally humourless!

    No you are damn right it is not a game.

    Leaders should lead. They should set the standards. They should be impeccable!

    For the ‘avoidance of doubt’, rule breakers whether they are from poorly educated backgrounds or have a first class honours degree from Exeter College, should follow the rules. No ‘Ifs and buts’! Those who break the rules should be held to account.

    This thread isn’t about the Civil Service. It is about the primary advisor to the Prime Minister. His behaviour, start a thread about the Civil Service if you want to.

    Cummings was instrumental In the advice and formation of the rules given to the nation and the Prime Ministers ‘right hand’. He, not Civil Servants is the one who has behaved in an unacceptable manner. He should resign (the honourable thing) or be sacked.

    It is exceptionally worrying that he and his political masters have zero insight. How can we have confidence in such a man?

    Dave, I have been dead straight. I can see people trying to introduce different issues throughout this thread.

    From my point of view it is all about the abuse of the system by the most important advisor in this country.

    problem with the easing is that it takes at least a couple of weeks for any changes to filter through into the numbers but by that time they are already discussing the next relaxation

    Yes let’s blame the public. The Tory propaganda machine working well on you. “Not our fault you all went to the beach”. Bollocks

    Losing his job would be far to much punishment for what he did, A suspension or public rebuke far more suits the misdemeanor and should have been done,

    This will inevitably bite Boris on the backside Dave
    When (not if) a second spike arises this has just made another lockdown nigh on impossible
    People will quite rightly say "if DC can do it so can I" and that is difficult to dispute
    Had he held his hand up and said he panicked and was not thinking straight then the next lockdown had a chance of being enforced now unfortunately there is no chance and innocent people will die from this horrific disease his actions were far more detrimental than most people realize

    I think this post encapsulates the present situation, Blair, Campbell and Mandelson have blood on the hands ( even though maybe not on their conscience) where as Cumming was a very naughty boy and should have known better, or made sure he didnt get caught.

    This will be interesting, breaking news :

    The PM's chief adviser Dominic Cummings is to make a public statement and take questions over allegations he broke coronavirus lockdown rules.
