The stupidity of our elected representatives seems to be beyond bounds. Did he not think for a second how it would look even if it was technically legal?

He's lying about it being a business meeting, by the way. I've attended hundreds of business meetings since the first lockdown began and not a single one of them required me to be there in person.

I phoned the surgery this morning to see if they could give me some idea of when I might be called and the answer was; probably during the next week or so!

Our youngest adopted son (35) has Down's Syndrome, it would appear that people with this condition are at greater risk if they contract the virus and should be shielding. I must have a word with the people at his care home to ensure they are aware of this.

Am I not correct in thinking that DS people are prone to respiratory problems? That'd explain it, if so.

Colleague at work has a son with Down's and they have been shielding.
 
It's a difficult time so hope and am sure you will get the necessary reassurances from the care home. Thoughts are with you.

Our son who joined our family at the age of 13 months, has not had any respiratory problems. However  he does have a condition called G6PD, which is quite common among people Greek Cypriot origin as he is , which means there are many medications he must not have.

Johnson only 12 minutes late. Given it's Strictly Final couldn't take the chance.

Sturgeon doing one at 17.30 so she will need to be fast given Strictly starts at 6.

Because religion.

Interestingly my parents' church stopped doing communal services at the beginning of the last lockdown and didn't restart when it finished even though they are in tier 2.

Yes, that seems like the wise option. Pity not all places are as sensible.

To be fair, it was - and will be - allowed in Scotland in tier four - though numbers limited to twenty. I conducted worship on two consecutive Sundays under tier four.

I understand that principles of rationality, consistency and equality are things you have problems with. I offer my sympathy.
