Chinajan,may have is not a confirmation.

[Bobbisox1]

Nail him to a tree and pelt rotten fruit at him till we hear his name no more

[Buenchico]

. . . and 'guidelines' aren't laws.

[Old_Geezer]

Presumably, "in their opinion".

[Mamyalynne]

Something almost Biblical in your comment Bobbi.

[Bobbisox1]

Don’t think they pelted Jesus or John the Baptist with fruit Mamya ,okay, I’ll settle for the stocks To make it less religious :0)

[iluvmargie]

I'd do that to him Bobbi for making nasty comments about pensioners.

[gulliver1]

Meanwhile 137 people in Durham ,have been fined for breaking Lockdown Guidelines. But they were not friends of Boris

[gulliver1]

Bags I am the one to throw the Mangos , PLEASE.

[diddlydo]

If they considered it a breach of guidelines why not fine him like 14000 others have been fined. Never mind the fact that "minor" is another person's interpretation of "major".

[Bobbisox1]

Behind me ILM

[tiggerblue10]

If that is the case then maybe they should issue him with a fine, as they have done with others, and let that be an end to it.

Totally irrelevant.

[diddlydo]

Not irrelevant at all.

I wonder if Barnard castle will get more visitors now.

"Dominic Cummings might have broken lockdown rules when he made a 50-mile journey to Barnard Castle, an investigation by Durham Police has concluded.

But an investigation by Durham Police concluded he might have committed a "minor breach" of the guidelines when he drove to Barnard Castle on April 12."

Putting to one side the "May", why do the press refer to "lockdown rules" when even Durham Police refer to "guidelines".

How often does it need to be said that guidelines are not rules?

[retrocop]

It must make the Chief Constable of Durham feel a right twit. Only a few days ago he was 'kicking up a bob is dying' and raising Cain in the media about DC's heinous transgressions. His own authority now says it's a minor breach of guidelines. No knighthood for him on retirement. :-)

[david small]

Please please please let this Cummings be going’s. Too much forevermore. R.I.P. this bloody subject.

[Gromit]

So Durham Police will not be pursuing it any further. End of story.
