1. I have been EATING MYSELF ALIVE for two months that I can’t visit my 79 year old widowed mum 200 miles away; not because of “the rules”, but because THERE’S A FUCKING VIRUS OUT THERE WHICH COULD KILL HER AND I CAN’T TAKE THAT CHANCE.

2. And I don’t - as far as I know - even HAVE the damn virus. The point is that by schlepping all the way up to Liverpool I’m far more likely to pick it up and transmit it to her than she is likely to catch it herself.

It’s not “the rules”, it’s COMMON DECENCY.

3. So I can’t even begin to compute what kind of PSYCHOPATH would haul ass up the country WHILE ACTUALLY SYMPTOMATIC AND COUGHING UP CLOUDS OF THIS SHIT along the way in order to offload his kids onto his EQUALLY ELDERLY AND VULNERABLE PARENTS.
It’s INSANE.

4. Never mind he should quit because he broke the rules, though yeah, he should.
He should be ring-fenced away from the levers of power because he’s a reckless entitled fucking maniac.
