Doubt he would have been wearing gloves though. No excuses. Should not have done it. Don't think it is going to be leapt on by Boris at the moment though.

In his response Gardner refers to ‘taking the knee’ with brave young people. Is public protesting now an act of bravery?  Funny how the Cummings bashers on here are not venting their disgust at Gardner ignoring social distancing rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One rule for all means just that... one rule for everyone.

I hope Dominic has a full tank of petrol, he may need to utilise that 'cottage' (subject to planning permission) on his in-laws estate again. I hope he plans on checking his eyesight before he goes (although as it's not his wife's birthday, he may forgo that ritual). Should be OK on the way back though, Barnard Castle have altered their signage to help people work out if they're able to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 4, 2020 Funny how the Cummings bashers on here are not venting their disgust at Gardner ignoring social distancing rules. Pity you don't read the posts clearly. I think everyone is saying he is a terwat. But he didn't march to Durham to test his eyesight or inspect his Dad's cottage or barn or garage or compost bin or whatever they are calling the building they didn't have permission for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,718 Posted June 4, 2020 I would think the wearing of masks on public transport from 15th coincides with more workers and shoppers due to the retail section of the economy opening up on that date. I expect however City1st will be exempt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 4, 2020 Will we be fined if we wear a face mask on public transport before the 15th? What about planes? They are public transport. Do you have to wear a mask during a long haul flight? And when you have to quarantine for 14 days when you arrive, will you have to wear it when you go through customs? It is baffling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Government keep saying they are guided by science. Are we really expected to believe that the 15th is going to make any difference from the 12th or else the science will be incorrect? They have stubbornly stuck to their own agenda and most other scientists say they were incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
