In terms of whether or not it was right decision from a public health point of view, probably academic, as the public acceptance is part of the job, so part of the story. Probably best outcome to move on and focus on combatting the virus. Ā Ā That's a fair point.Ā If it was just some crap politician who'd put his or foot out of line I wouldn't care a jot but it's immensely frustrating that the government has lost the services of someone with a skills set that could be crucial right now, and all on the back of some nebby article in a shiterag of a newspaper. As for Prince big ears, there were plenty of people raging about him on social media but very little in the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Murdo Fraser and another Tory apparently went up a mountain, allegedly when the "don't go up mountains" was in effect. Also I wonder what all those cabinet ministers and medical officers have been doing at weekends. Whataboutery, perhaps. But how else to illustrate double standards?

exile Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 For what it's worth, the Sun carries the story and says they did the trip before full lockdown. This is the Morning Star version of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I saw that too (the Tweet has now apparently been deleted!). Another example would be Matt Hancock opening a temporary hospital while clearly suffering from some of the symptoms of the virus - again, little or no media criticism. It's sod's law that the only high profile person to leave their post for going against advice is one who could actually be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 the odds might be as bad as 50/50 on survival , although probably higher as he will have been moved as a precaution in case he needs ventillation.

slasher Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The more I hear about this virus and it gets closer to home the more that I feel that (a) there is information that they are not telling us or, equally as likely (b) there is much they don't know about this virus. š¤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_pammy_87 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 They will be more cautious when it comes to him butĀ thereās no chance he would get a bed when it wasnāt necessary! So it must be being downplayed for the pressĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
