Brexit wasn't so bad for Norton after all. Now that the crooked management has gone, we can look forward to seeing a lot of Nortons on the road and lots of income and jobs for our manufacturing industry. That probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Brexit.
You don't think that, just possibly, the number of people both willing and able to afford one has gone down recently?

Just bear in mind that if the house he went to had been in Wales, the police have every authority to stop him, fine him, and turn him round back out of Wales. And her.

The claim is that the only thing done by family was deliver things. What was so incredibly difficult to organise about that? For such a senior adviser to think that what he did was a sensible way of ensuring they get their groceries asks a lot about what his skills are.
And since there was actually no viable reason that required his personal intervention, why in this dire situation dod he choose to dump his job and run?
A.W.O.L due to a lack of intestinal fortitude

I am not going to be party to this witchhunt, but if Cummings states that his wife phoned him saying she was ill, and she and her child needed minding, then what he did was not only legal,in terms of the guidelines, but could be seen as heroic!
In truth it's most likely just another example of the usual British government member's attitude of "Don't do as I do, do as I say".

I fully agree..., But as I wrote previously, all he needs say is he was caring for an invalid, and he hits the exemption button

Caring for an invalid? Invalid as in something that is not true because it is based on erroneous information or unsound reasoning? Do you therefore mean that Cummings was caring for that yellow streak of pi$$ Boris Johnson? As a Prime Minister Johnson has proven himself to be invalid, so if there is an exception granted to care for him, then Cummings hits the jackpot.

Grant Schapps looks like he’s slept in a dustbin. He’s a wreck, what’s wrong with him? Has he got Coronavirus now?

Johnson's promised Brexit border in Irish Sea 'will not be ready in time'
Influential thinktank warns that UK will need to extend transition period in wake of coronavirus or risk very hard border
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/23/johnsons-promised-brexit-border-in-irish-sea-will-not-be-ready-in-time

OK - so one of those millions of think tanks. But the big surprise would be the border being ready and functioning properly. And that despite the assumption it really will be in the wake of cornavirus.

Do you honestly think this government is capable of making a national success of Brexit?
we are in a very tricky situation.
Johnson may do a deal to maintain the current status without calling it an extension of the transition.

There is no exemption button for someone who is infected.
As you are fond of demanding ... Show the text in the legislation!. However I really don't care, DC is a British phenomenon and really has nothing to do with anything I have any interest in.

They're still anti Brexit and pro immigration, but they have to be seen to be going through the motions of Brexit, which is the best we have. Look what's happened in Scotland recently to see how rapidly things go downhill on the other side.

If you want to play with data, there's a lot of good stuff here - as much as you can trust the people and systems that collected it. They hold base data that you can analyse in all sorts of ways with the charts underneath. also you can tick in and out different countries for comparison.

Look, if you have Coronavirus symptoms, it has always been stated that you must self isolate at home and not travel the length of the country. Stop being a dullard and understand.

What I believe will happen in time will be a kludge,as I indicated perhaps 18 months ago. The UK Revenue will supp!y NI companies with special transit documents, which will fast track anything originating in NI and going into mainland UK. Materials without this reference document or seal will be scrutinized in Belfast, or Liverpool or Holyhead etc.
The EU will insist that Ireland scrutinize anything leaving Irish ports destined for Cherbourg or Roscoff . Again Irish customs at our ports will fast track material originating in companies located in RoI ,and scrutinise anything without that seal of approval.
It leaves the entire Island of Ireland as a Freeport. The EU will have no difficulty in allowing EU goods circulate freely in Ireland, North or South. The EU will have only marginal difficulty with UK goods flooding the Irish market. .. There is a limit to our capacity for Walkers Chips or Marmite

..so that's a no then.
This is a direct lift from the U.K. government website.

It is very important that individuals with symptomsthat may be due to coronavirus (COVID-19) and their household members stay at home. Staying at home will help control the spread of the virus to friends, the wider community, and particularly the most vulnerable.

Those with symptoms should remain at home for at least 7 days after the onset of their symptoms (see ending self-isolationbelow). This will reduce the risk of you infecting others.

Driving from a London to Durham is not compatible with the government’s advice.

Why are you such a very stupid man who gets everything wrong? I mean literally everything wrong.

the EU is moving rapidly toward a united state of Europe with COVID debt mutualisation now.
