Originally posted by darmstadt View PostIf someone has reported a crime then they have to follow it up although by the tone of your post, I take it that you would prefer that they didn't. Honestly didn't take you for a fan of Cummings but it takes all sorts
Do yiu think they'd follow up each such report? Fat chance - it’s selected prosecution at best, which kind of makes it illegal (proper criminal, not in civil regards).Comment

Some great quotes coming out:
Ironic to watch a Brexiter government desperately put saving an unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat before supporting the will of the people.As one of those involved in SPI-B, the Government advisory group on behavioural science, I can say that in a few short minutes tonight, Boris Johnson has trashed all the advice we have given on how to build trust and secure adherence to the measures necessary to control COVID-19.Grant Shapps: "We've never told people where they have to specifically locate themselves."Really? I feel like the phrase "stay home" might have come up.Dear Prime Minister, I’m told that my taxes support GCHQ, automatic number plate recognition, facial recognition technology & much else to keep public safe. Please reassure me this money isn’t wasted & the massive effort can tell us where someone with active infection went.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostNope it is a crime as he may well have broken the 2020 Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations. Numerous people have been reported and prosecuted but if you want to stick up for someone who not only could have infected other people but also his own family, then be it so...

Originally posted by AtW View PostSure, take him to court then - making him lose his job is extra-judicial mob style illegal action, at best he deserves some fine - and he needs job to pay it.
If he's fired he can't be rehired for about 6 months."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

But due to the lack of testing in the UK they can get off with a clever barrister. Though the tulipstorm of the court case could virtually bankrupt him."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
