70 days in isolation/lockdown, but I am not called Dominic Cummings.

How many more lies and lame excuses do we have to suffer from this man. It is made much much worse that Boris keeps on, unsuccessfully, defending him. Other MPs are also doing so. Afraid of their own futures no doubt. It is already telling that Boris appears at the podium very rarely. Scared, no doubt, of the questions he has to field from journalists and the public. He cannot handle it which is probably why he relies so much as someone like Cummings to explain to him what he needs to say. There are many calls for Cummings to go. Either a sacking or resignation. Nobody cares which. It is possible that the same fate should befall Boris.  He sames incapable of gauging the mood of the public. Especially the ones he admitted at the time “had lent the Tories their votes”. Well they will want them back now!!!

Because of Cummings’ behaviour, the whole of the lockdown message could be undermined. People (some) will take the view that if he can bend the rules and get away with it, then why can’t I? Many of Boris’s supporters, who use twitter alot have gone strangely silent for up to 40 hours. This is evidence to me of a great deal of unease in the Tory party. The downward trend of the graphs is also a red herring if you listen to independent experts like Dr Hannah Fry who have described them as “rubbish”, misleading and incomplete.

Cummings went into the gardens of Number 10 to answer questions and explain himself. After an hour he had told hs “story” and fielded many questions. He did not adequately explain himself and was not in the least bit apologetic and refused to resign. We haven’t  heard the last of this. On facebook he does have some support, possibly from those that can be found in parks having a picnic and a game of football. He doesn’t come across as a nice bloke We’ll see what happens.

We are hoping for better news on future holidays so we will have a look at the news tomorrow. It seems that Spain may be opening up as is Greece and the UK position will be reviewed on 15th June.

Got every photo album down from the loft today. We are going to have hours of fun looking through that lot. There are about 30 albums to go through.

The deaths in the UK were well down today and despite the weekend always  giving us lower figures, they are encouraging.

UK deaths Monday 25th May   121
