It's almost as if the tories want people to not take lockdown rules seriously, after being forced into establishing a lockdown they didn't want due to public pressure in the first place.

I am genuinely addicted to this story. I don't think I've ever seen a government just tear its public image apart so rapidly in this way before.

I'm just endlessly refreshing this thread and hoping for more.

Four and half years away from an election, they've gone mask off already. Johnson-Cummings doing what they like. Despite me having my eyes open the whole time (it's basically London Mayor Johnson up to 11), I'm pretty worried about the road this is heading down. Someone on Twitter called it Eton–Orbanism and that sounds about right.

the plan is pretty clearly to do away with 'the blob' and institute absolute autocracy, yeah

it's pretty hosed up, and I think this is going to be a litmus test as to whether we really will put up with a permanent one party/one man state

After a young pro wrestler killed herself yesterday (after receiving horrendous abuse on social media) I've decided to try be less cruel & angry on social media but god worms like this are making it hard.

I imagine a good few people who might otherwise not care are currently going through their CCTV footage to see if they've caught Cummies on tape swanning around somewhere completely unnecessarily while on his hols up in Durham.

Nah there's a massive difference between what cunts did to Hana Kimura for no reason whatsoever and having a pop at Dom Cum for being an actual twat in a position of massive responsibility and thence doing all he can to disappoint that responsibility in every conceivable manner.

All the motorway stations if they were open atm.

There could be a pic of Dom sitting in a Greggs munching on a sausage roll out there.

Well aye but it more or less was already, this just ensures people go extra wild until the second wave hits.

The real question will be whether people obey any second lockdown that is imposed at that point.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

So we're likely going to see the number of infections trending up in the coming week from the relaxation 2 weeks ago, right in the middle of the government continuing to defend Cummings obvious violation of the restrictions over a month ago and preparing to further loosen restrictions and open schools next Monday.

This is going to be a long week in politics, I really think something might obviously and probably permanently break because of it. Let's hope it's the Tory government.

I mean, things are extremely bad and I don't want to downplay that, but can you imagine the state we'd be in if that bastard Corbyn had won?
