When will this shit end?

So, doubling down, a man who won't acknowledge his own children has just used everyone else's children as deflection when giving a false excuse involving his colleague's child.

How old are his parents anyway? Surely they have to be in their sixties, so even if everything else is true isn’t there a moral issue here too?

Surely his parents should be the absolute last resort for childcare?

Edit: they’re in their seventies. I’m surprised more hasn’t been made of this.

Think I read it was his mum's 71st birthday. Who honestly would take their infected wife and self to their 70 year old parent's house?!

Big risk. If a single bit of evidence, a picture, cctv comes out now then surely that becomes a resigning matter for Boris as well?

This is my biggest hope now.

This is the thing. They’ve gone with the ‘Think of the children’ angle, but what about his parents? Officially in an at risk group, yet he’s deliberate put them at risk. My parents are in their seventies, I only saw my mum for the first time this week for a dog walk keeping 2m apart. I was even in two mind about doing this. If I knew I had the virus I wouldn’t go anywhere near them .

The story has changed since then  – he is now claiming he didn't see his parents, just his sister and niece. Almost certainly lies but yeah.

The toughest interviewers I ever worked for were the ones who gave a simple, short, single question where there couldnt be any ambiguity about what's being asked. If you didn't answer the question being asked then they would simply push and ask the same direct question again. I dont know why the national media dont follow the same approach, they all seem to be asking vague, long multiple questions to hopefully trip them up somewhere on some part of the question, but in fact all they are doing is giving the interviewee load ways of worming there way out of the fundamental single question being asked. Our national media are very poor interviewers in my opinion

Well he can claim Dom lied to him but that still doesn't stop him looking weak and stupid. He's trying to tough this out but if the Barnard Castle story turns out to be true it's game over surely?

Even then (and I don’t care how big their house is) surely it’s an unnecessary risk? Could they absolutely guarantee the parents wouldn’t pick it up from something after they left? Or that it couldn’t pass from the sister or niece to the parents? One thing is for sure, child or no child being involved I wouldn’t have put my parents at risk in that way.

He was asked, said he looked into it and that he was satisfied with the answer

Maybe looking after the kid was nothing more than a cover story and they just went for a big jolly

    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
    • Does anybody have a link outside of Youtube where all the pro-shot set recordings are saved?
    • Haven't booked yet but I'm an Airbnb guy.
    • Gutted I missed Harry. Still loads of tickets for the later shows on TM so hopefully a few more will be released
