StefanAVFC Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) And it really puts the intervention of the Attorney-General in an awful light, whose job it is, to literally know the law. Edited May 28, 2020 by StefanAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 @NurembergVillan without a doubt, get your cousin moved in. There’s little risk if she’s been isolating since early March and it sounds like it will relieve a lot of pressure for you and the missus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he’ll probably tag in Boris who will mumble something about the pubs opening again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weirdest thing about the track and trace (ok not the weirdest, just something I noticed) was that yesterday Hancock explicitly said that if someone was isolating because they had Covid-19, and you had been in contact with that person but you were't showing symptoms, you have to isolate but other members of your household don't. That seems pretty weird to me. Surely if one member of the household is isolating due to potentially having it, everyone in hat household should 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s contradictory to the previous advice about household isolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This isn't the bit that Durham police had the problem with. They don't even mention the Barnard Castle trip. Staggering arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also been super strict with lockdown, only going out to shop for essentials, wearing a mask, etc. To me, it's against the guidelines and feels like a bad thing to do.

I know what Dom would do, but what should I do? And will we all get fined if one of my neighbours phones the old bill? You are the ref. Go! As far as I’m concerned most anything is fair game now so go for it. Dom would for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, a few weeks ago I'd have said it was risky in terms of getting away with things. After last weekend's events what you're suggesting is totally justifiable. It's more of an exceptional circumstance than Mr Cummings for a start. In terms of yours and her safety... if you've both been following the lockdown strictly like you say then I can't see how there's very much risk at all of her bringing it to you or you guys passing it to her. Perfectly sensible to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) In other "elites" news*: Quote One of Britain’s top shoot owners will miss the start of the season because he is riding his horse the length of Britain. As the pheasant-shooting season gets underway in the UK, 81-year-old Sir Humphry Tyrrell Wakefield [Classic Dom's father-in-law] who owns Chillingham Castle in Northumberland is riding his horse Barack, named because the horse is half black and half white, from John O’Groats to Land’s End. Of course he's not doing that, because he's doing that on his horse called that. https://www.fieldsportschannel.tv/sir-humphry-misses-pheasant-season-to-go-riding/amp/?__twitter_impression=true *news in the most loose sense, as it's from 2017.

Its getting harder and harder by the day to understand who is in charge. In times gone by it was always clear the PM was in charge, even if he/she wasn't legally in charge of everything people would go along with what they said. We have pretty much everybody disagreeing with what Boris / the Government are doing and saying. Who would think that we'd have Scotland and Wales deciding to do something different to England?
