double standards - stay at home
Can anybody explain to me.
Why is it, when we are being told to stay at home, and not to visit holiday homes. Boris Johnson is allowed to go and recouperate Chequers? Surely this is double standards? Shouldn't he be in Downing Street where he originally self isolated. Thoughts?

It doesn't take much to work out. Number Ten only is a flat for him and his partner, there are dozens of offices and meeting rooms and each day, the Nation wants an update from "Number Ten". To provide that update, several Ministers are required to attend Downing Street. It is far more sensible to move them off to a secure and isolated environment.
There is an excellent Hospital not far from Chequers should they need it. I may be in the minority, but I think it's a logical move. |

Just want to point out, I am not trying to cause a big arguement, just wonder if I am alone in my thoughts.
My thinking being that, 'Oliver Dowden hammered home the message, saying nobody should visit holiday homes' Yet, Chequers is described as 'Chequers is the country house of the UK prime minister' with Boris Johnson is described as living at 11 Downing Street. I struggle to see how Boris Johnson going to Chequers is any different to Catherine Calderwood going to her second home, whilst telling 'normal people' they should not visit holiday home -double standards to my mind. Would this same tolerance be applied to say, a banker, moving to country home, from a city apartment

I agree with your thoughts. Boris has been very unwell! Give him a chance. I think he deserves it. Would anyone like his job at the moment? Regards David |

That’s what I was thinking. His partner had symptoms of the virus ,she is expecting, for him to go straight back to Downing Street would have been risky as he needs time to recover and build his strength back up.With her displaying symptoms(as was reported when he first went to hospital), it could have been dangerous for both of them not to mention the rest of the cabinet and behind the scenes staff.

Don't know what the fuss is about. Chequers is his formal registered residence as PM - legally and politically. Downing street is his office/place of work where he is unable to isolate without preventing affairs of State to be fully maintained. QED.

Well I know I wouldn't want to be taken straight to my place of work if I just came out the hospital
The others who flounced the rules had not been sick, they were just ignoring the guidelines. I think it makes sense to me. |
