And tell my 84 year old mother too while you're at it. Living alone, 130 miles away with most of her closest friends now dead. Of course I want to be able to visit her....but they said I shouldn't so I haven't. And yet... |  |

Likewise. 74 rather than 84 but same scenario.
Even when my wife and I were unwell.
We are ruled by cnts who know they are above the law. |  |

And if you had suspected Corona, surely you wouldn't be going anywhere near your elderly parents, however much you wanted them to look after the kids. [Post edited 23 May 2020 19:59]

And mine, aged 81. On her own, hasn't left her home/garden since the end of March. |  |

My a brother in law and his missus had it and they've 2 young kids under 3. Had a nightmare apparently trying to manage it (BIL was bad with it). But they stayed in and coped the best they could because the rules/law stated if you have symptoms you MUST stay at home.
They really are a bunch of c*nts (this particular Govt., not my BIL and his family - they're lovely people). |  |

Same here. My Mum is 81 and hasn't left her home since the lockdown began. Shame on him and his supporters. |  | | |

My old fella's 81 and sounds like he's a rebel in comparison. He's been to his local shop at least once a week!(Otherwise hunkered down and unable to see his family). | |

We can still be there for our families even if we can't be physically present.
Stay safe for her sake regardless of idiots like DC. |  |

Thanks vt.
I keep thinking if I fill my car's tank with fuel, then stay home for a week, could I then go a spend a couple of days at her place? It's a 3 hour journey so I can't just pop up and chat on the doorstep.
I live alone and am willing to sacrifice 7 bloomin' days with no outside contact.
I would have to do things such as pop outside and water plants etc but I could get away with doing only that. Neighbour's door is close but they'd understand if I explain I need them to take a few precautions.
I don't know.
Edit; opinions are welcome from anyone btw. I won't be offended either way. I'm at a bit of a loss on this one. [Post edited 23 May 2020 20:26]

It's become clear today that they obviously don't love or care about those children 
An elderly neighbour of mine is shielding and lost their last surviving sibling last week, they can't attend the funeral....and their family can't hug them. Seeing them in tears and not be able to go into their garden to console them was so tough....but I thought I was doing the right thing. |  |

You were doing the right thing.
The problem is their supporters will buy into the idea it is because DC loves his child so much that he did what he did.
If anything can console you, though, imagine being related to DC. | |

The obvious answer is no, don't go. Only you can make this call. I would suggest long phone calls to your Mum, rather than a visit. Your choice of course. Don't post it on here if you do go. They will eat you alive. | | | |

Sorry to hear that mate. My missus' uncle died yesterday and we're in the same boat with her mum. Mrs Swanners wants to be there for her, but we daren't for their sake and they don't want us there at this time. And then it'll be the funeral question as to my mother-in-law feels up to risking the trip (they haven't been out yet since the lockdown began).
And then you have utter c*nts like Cummings and Jenrick swanning around like they're above the law. Total arseholes. I think Johnson's dad has been outed for breaking the lockdown too {checked - and he has].

That's an interesting last sentence.
Do you think there is a case for they can't do anything about Cummings if it turns out Johnson has done pretty much the same? Clearly pure speculation at this stage unless Swansea knows of any substance to that. | |

My parents, 70+ both, have refused to leave their house for 60+ days now to comply with self isolation rules.
Cummings actions are undefendable. |  |

Edited - I've just checked. His dad broke the lockdown. I've seen it claimed that Johnson has been moving between homes, but don't know if that's true.
It's a question that a few pundits have raised lately. Johnson is guilty of a fair number of indiscretions, so it certainly makes it harder for him to apply discipline when he's been so lax himself. There was illegally shutting down parliament, being ousted as a liar (on many occasions, including misleading parliament twice last week which is normally a serious offense). There's confirmation from civil servants that his relationship with Jennifer Arcuri did affect their judgements when striking deals during trade missions. The Russian report he won't release. There's the weird AWOL episode where he went and got hammered at the expense of a Russian backer or supporter. The plotting to get a journalist beaten up and him being sacked for fabricating news stories, etc.
He's as ben as a butchers hook. Either that will be affecting his judgement or he simply doesn't care about what is right. | |

You were doing the right thing.

If anything can console you, though, imagine being related to DC. |
"If anything can console you, though, imagine being related to DC."
**shudder** that is something I truly never want to imagine.
Jeera my thoughts are with you, only you can know what's best for you but please don't be swayed by the tory bullpoo about DC and his reasonings. [Post edited 23 May 2020 21:21]

Decision by the relatives was to stay away. Tough choice. You have my sympathy. |  | | |
