Corona Virus Treatment

That was on the way back, after seeking medical advice that he could and was fit to return?

Don't get me wrong, I could understand the outrage if this guy had actually infected others, or there was some sort of tangible effect from his actions, but there aren't - or at least, no more than the actions of the aforementioned Tahir Ali, Stephen Kinnock and others.

I really don't like this 'cancel culture' that we have nowadays - - he/she made a mistake, they must be sacked sort of routine. Sure, some mistakes are just so big that there are no other options, but it is an overused concept as far as I am concerned.

 

He hasn't actually admitted stopping on the way up then? I wonder why. I find it hard to believe he could have gone 200 odd miles without a toilet or fuel stop especially with children.

 

Not as far as I know, and whilst I agree, it is not impossible and in the absence of evidence........

I tend to look at things very much as an employer - would I discipline someone for something, would I dismiss them or would I give them a chance, what are the extenuating circumstances and so on - and all of that is evidence based. If I sacked everyone that I didn't agree with, or that did something stupid in their private lives, then I would never have enough staff

 

We will never know the truth and it's down to how much you trust and believe his stories. To me that tale about going to Barnard Castle is where he blows away any credulity. He was having problems with his vision so to test he could drive OK he packed his wife and kids in the car and drove 30 odd miles. That's against all medical advice and I am speaking as a qualified first aider here, we are trained to never let anyone drive if they had those symptoms, if at work we get a partner to come and pick them up, a taxi if no partner or an ambulance if too bad. He could have killed himself, his family or innocent bystanders. It reveals his true sense of responsibility, i.e. he has none. Either that or a cock and bull story to cover up the fact that he was taking his wife out for a birthday treat whilst everyone else was told to stay at home.

As an aside if people break our health and safety rules at work like that they are escorted off the site, no second chances. I work in an industry that can't afford to employ such dangerous people.

 

I bet you'll be first in the queue, pete, wearing your OAP white haired wig, and leaning on a walking stick.
