The first line was all that was needed - if there were a host of infections for the teaching profession who have been looking after the kids in school - the unions would be shouting from the top of the hills. The fact their not suggests to anyone with a modicum of intelligence that the incidences has proved to be very low. This is a profession that regularly organises training days during term time and a profession who's union has stopped them doing lessons by zoom - what does that say - they are more interested in the teachers than the kids education.

You have no idea how many teachers have or havent been off or affected by the virus, go and find your own answers or are you afraid tou may not like them.
It's obvious from your tone of reply not only this time but in your many other posts on this subject that have accused teachers of being pretty much everything bad you want to portray them as whilst ignoring what 99% of them actually are.
Maybe they're the new NHS, you know the wasteful beuractic bunch whove been mistreated for 10/12 years and have suddenly become the heroes (which they pretty much always were) so now we have to find a new scapegoat.

I should have stopped after 4 words.

I can’t believe you are defending the indefensible, he doesn’t even show any humility hence why Johnson likes him.

He wont - why should he - if he genuinely thinks he has done the best for his family then so be it.

Johnson knows his worth - let's move on

Agreed - this is not a slur on teachers - more a question for their masters the union - who seem intent on flexing their muscles!!

My 3 year old won't be going to nursery on June the 1st. After all, I genuinely think I'll be doing the best for my family.

We all make mistakes - I'm sure if you had been sacked for every mistakes you had made you would be unemployable - learning from your mistakes is key to growing as a person. Having a supportive manager is key to career development.

I'm sure we do however, we're not the ones driving government policy decisions.

B.t.w. I'm unsure who you're referring to with the supportive manager analogy?

Well even for me who generally backs the Tories, whether Cummings thinks it’s best or not, it appears to be against the lockdown guidelines in more than one way - if he remains in his job it means that the rest of the country can pretty much do what they want - they will lose an awful lot of credibility over this, to the extent that i wouldn’t be surprised to see some cabinet ministers quit over it

What do the police do now? How do they say, "I'm fining you for an unnecessary journey" without Joe Public turning round and saying "eff off!".

Who's going to stop people just piling into supermarkets?

Who's going to stop people traveling across the country and just doing what they like?

How are they going to enforce kids going back to school or adults going back to work?

I think this weekend will have said to some that lockdown is over, and to others that they can do as they please.

Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow... Should be interesting.

I generally keep out of these debates but yes, BoJo supporting his buddy takes the shackles off the general public (those who were respecting the 'rules').

Indeed. Massive own goal. The government can now have little complaint if large numbers ignore future instructions (and that's from someone who hasn't left home other than for medical appointments and shopping in 8 weeks).

I'd have had more respect for him if hed said "Yeah, hes had a misjudgment and done something wrong, he/we apologise" etc.

The blatant contempt they hold the public in and the lies they're twisting to justify it is astounding.
