trmpton Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 1 minute ago, The Dog's Dangly Bits said: Think "most" people simply don't care. The circumstances present no risk. Hospice drove it and the thing took place away from patients and staff. Add to that he's been vaccinated twice and tested. If you're arguing from a risk perspective that goes against absolutely everything you spout on here all day every day. I agree. There was zero risk. There was zero risk when the joke went swimming. Zero risk when the welders wore masks to Tesco. Zero risk when someone stopped for petroleum on the way back from the boat. There is stuff all risk to anyone from COVID anymore but that isn’t the point. There is no risk from me going to the UK tomorrow and coming home and going to the pub the same night but I can’t do it, and wouldn’t want to be seen to be doing it. In Howard’s position he should have the brains to realise that this was going to wind people up whether there is a risk or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Howard should have to sink to the level of the lowest common denominator Karens. Those people need shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people need shooting. No he shouldn't. But it was a silly thing to do. The rule says health care 'setting". Setting being anywhere near in my interpretation. Doesn't say it's ok if you have done a risk assessment or the hospice were ok with it. It was unwise. Saying that. No harm done. He should admit it was unwise and apologise and everyone should move on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the first time, you are completely missing the point either out of mischief or stupidity. Mr Toad deliberately ignored a rule that he, whether directly or delegated, implemented and then failed to comply with. The fact that Hospice said it was OK is irrelevant. It's just another glaring example of the total incompetence of these amateur politicians. Edited June 18, 2021 by Utah 01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 If you don't follow your own rules, then you undermine them and they lose credibility. Regardless of the risk, the rule was there set by himself and he should have stuck to it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Most ot today's newspapers have relegated COVID news to the inside pages for the first time in a long time. The much more important news of the football draw is a welcome return to normality! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
