Boris Johnson’ response to Cummings’ behaviour is insulting to ALL of us who have made sacrifices to protect each other
It betrays those of us who could not mourn our loved ones
It undermines the message that there is One Law for all
It makes us less safe
#DowningStreetBriefing
I’m a dad who can’t see my 2 oldest children in London & Glasgow
I’m a son who can’t see my 92 year old mum whose attached to an oxygen tank 24/7
I’m a brother who couldn’t attend my brother’s (died from COVID19) funeral
Why should I bother?
Because I have integrity
It’s the Law
By saying that Cummings followed a “fathers instincts”

He is saying that I & every parent are sh** parents because we didn’t follow “instinct,” just the law

Johnson, By applying his “instincts” delayed lockdown & 10,000s more died than should have

I do not trust his instincts
The police now have an impossible task enforcing Lockdown

Anybody can say they were following their “instincts” because the Prime Minister says it trumps the Law

That #DowningStreetBriefing did more than anything in recent times to damage the Rule Of Law

I am heartbroken
