I understand that they contacted the family, it has been well documented that they called DC's father back when he asked for security advice. It's also documented that they didn't discuss the fact that the family had travelled, as presumably they had no issues with it. 

 

That’s not what I’ve read attributed to them but at the time, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to take issue with the actions of the PM’s rightt hand man ...... in their position, I would have assumed that the movement from London to Durham had been discussed with authorities. After all, govt would need to know where their senior adviser was ......

If you want to take that risk and risk your families lives and wellbeing, because some london suit has broken the rules, then more fool you.

 

By this point if people can't understand the rules and what they should or shouldn't be doing, then it's on them.

The problem is those in seriously important positions within the government can’t understand the rules. That is very concerning.

Just a quick one, me and my wife have worked full time ever since the start of the virus,  how can anybody be guaranteed their safety. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

There will always be differing opinions on getting back to work because everybody’s situation is different, I myself am a big advocate on returning to work, I’ve worked through the lockdown because my employer required me to, buy I still worry for the future of my employer.

Now if I were retired, or someone whose job and income is guaranteed to be there after this is over then I’d be saying caution no rush to things are safe. Unfortunately we are not all in that position, jobs, salaries, careers are on the line for a lot of people and therefore the return to work can’t come soon enough.

Incredibly concerning, the entitlement is ridiculous. But I'm not shocked in the slightest, it's always been the case that those with money/power break rules and get away with it.

Absolutely no point listening to anything Boris says after that.

 

His highlight in life is getting stuck on a zip wire.

 

As for being prime minister he is just a spineless buffoon. 

Cant you read the top of this thread highlighted in a wired, brown slash orange colour, “NO POLITICAL DECISION”  or let me guess your an ostrich...

The myth is that they are somehow special beyond the rest of us mere mortals.

 

You can't guarantee anyone's safety right now, you do the best you can and you get the **** back to work like the rest of us.

 

Not hard.

You do know teachers are still working, right? 

 

Did a teacher sleep with your wife or something?

As a teacher, I've also worked full time since the start of the virus. 50% of my days are in school, and 50% of them I'm working from home. During school hours, I'm working with groups of up to 15 children, without any protection. That's alright for me though - I'm young, and probably fairly virus proof.

 

I think "guaranteeing safety" obviously isn't possible, and probably shouldn't be taken literally. However, there also needs to be reasonable measures in place to make sure there's an adequate level of safety - just as all employers have had to do. I actually think the current measures that my school have in place for return probably does have an adequate level of safety (though that is thanks to my school, NOT from the unhelp information from the Government), as it currently stands. However, if the Government want all children to return, then I don't see how it's possible to do so and maintain a reasonably safe environment.

 

People saying that it's just "teachers feeling special" is just odd. Is the reason hairdressers aren't open because they're being precious fairies as well?

 

Edit: Oh, I'd like to add that I also voluntarily worked through my holidays (for free) so I could help look after the children of key workers. But yeah, precious, lazy teachers, and all that jazz.

Ive never mentioned teachers being special,  i simply with the best intentions wondered how the safety could be guaranteed.

Boris has ordered the closure of the Cummings out thread on here now,

Not all teachers, that's for damn sure. My 7 y/o nephew is currently sat at home doing **** all because he can't get the shite school to send him any work out, even after emailing them 4 times. 

 

If it shouldn't be taken literally then it shouldn't be said. The unions have said we need guaranteed safety reeeeeee. 

 

And the government don't want all children to return do they ffs.

 

Boris Johnson says he believes the country is in position to move to phase two of the lockdown easing of restrictions, which would see Reception, Year One and Year Six pupils return to school from 1 June.

 

The reason people think teachers think they're special is because that's exactly how they are acting. If you're working in a public job, you should be following government advice and getting ready to reopen. Don't see the sodding bin men crying about getting their job done do you.

So we’re not allowed to discuss politics in here, but the new thread dedicated to move discussion is closed...

 

Bit odd.

Thinking of @MattP at this hard time. The man is having to watch all this unravel without being able to add his opinion

It wasn’t intended  to be that and I for one felt uncomfortable derailing the actual CV thread ....... i thought it was fairly constructive....

Would love it if you could point me in the direction of that thread. When you find it, let me and most of the posters on this thread know, cheers.

Sorry, that point was aimed at the other poster.

 

No, you're right - safety can't be guaranteed. I also don't think Unions really think that safety can be absolutely guaranteed either though, that's just their "starting point", so to speak.
