The journalist/photographs camped outside his house is bang out of order and considering his position I'm surprised he wast protected more by the police.
Not aimed at you, however, as this government, and their immediate predecessor have shown themselves entirely willing to throw the opponents to the wolves via the press, its a bit rich for them and their supporters to be bleating about this now. Seems pretty apt to me. https://metro.co.uk/2020/05/26/barnard-castle-means-pathetic-excuse-durham-dialect-12757215/

I agree with both your comments. The press were relentless for an hour interrogating him but may have seemed worse because he came across as quite weak. The journalist/photographs camped outside his house is bang out of order and considering his position I'm surprised he wast protected more by the police.
He would have been if he'd asked for it. But didn't because trying to stoke some sympathy for the "besieged by the press" angle is a key part of their defence. It's no coincidence that #ScumMedia was trending on twitter from the usual bots and far right accounts over the past couple of days.

And back on the topic of what an absolute catastrophic disaster Cummings and Johnson's handling of this whole crisis has been, the ONS stats are out this morning and show we are now up to just shy of 60,000 deaths up till May 15th. That'll be well over 65,000 to date. The vast majority of them needless. That's what this is about, not eye tests or trips to Barnard Castle but needless deaths on a massive scale, because of the vanity and incompetence of a few privileged psychopaths.

It goes to show we haven't moved on from the News of the World clowns a few years back

According to Worldometer (whatever that is, but seems reliable, as is often quoted), we have the scone highest number of deaths in the world, and the fifth highest rate of deaths (per million population - San Marino and Andorra!).
How anyone - anyone - can suggest that this has been handled well by the govt is beyond me, and the continuing clusterfuck of excuses, diversions, dead cat throwing and lies is just going to ultimately have this govt go down in history as the worst we have had. They won't care though, they will have made their buck by then.
Deaths that could have been avoided due to slow action at the beginning and ongoing disastrous handling of the crisis (too many examples to give, but how about PPE, Care Homes as starters) are being overshadowed by pointless time wasting protecting the actions and careers of the No 10 cabal.
I think I have had enough. Genuinely can't take any more.

Douglas Ross, Scotland minister, resigns from the government
And rumours are that no Tory is willing to replace him.

Weston shut their A&E over the weekend as they were too busy with C-19 cases.
