As sad as this is for the family, thousands of others had to grieve at home/alone due to the rules he helped set out.

Frankly if that's the excuse, it actually looks worse. Again, thousands have lost people over the last few months and not been able to be with their family.

Yes 100% makes it worse. With children there is the possibility for a little bit of ambiguity, but with a death, well, as sad as it is for the many that have had to grieve in such an undignified fashion, nobody’s welfare (the child) is at risk from that.

she's also attempting to save some face ... but yes thats quite strong for her 

Well, he literally made a fool of her again, and worse, she must know he's lying because he originally told her he went to his parents, which she tweeted as a 'source says' . Next day he changed his story to sister. So now she knows he's lying (that it was his parents not his sister) but can't say because of 'protecting sources'

This really is a huge story. Ministers and backbenchers pissed that they've been forced to defend him and since been bombarded with messages from fucked off constituents. They've so misjudged this one and completely misread the mood of the country.

Anyone beginning to think Cummings knows a few things about Johnson that Boris would rather remain hidden? Might explain this incredible situation.

Aye it crossed my mind earlier. We all knew Cummings had quite a frightening level of power for an unelected advisor but the lengths they're going to do lead you to think there's something else at play. It's doing a real number on their reputation after they ended up with a such a strong majority. It's utterly needless and I think that's why backbenchers are so pissed off.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • 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?
