Should those in the public eye resign for breaking lockdown rules?

Am I the only one who thinks that Cummings shows no respect in the way he dresses whilst attending Downing Street, so why would we think he would show respect for rules?
All over the show Patrick.

Said it before but I think she is in a difficult position. In that her and Peston are the people that the conservatives 'leak' information to and she then tweets these leaks out. People then sometimes take that as her opinion, when it is in fact a controlled leak from a source she has got and a lot of the time she is doing her job of delivering what she sees as 'news', not withstanding the fact that it has been spun to her. But then again show me some news nowadays that has not been spun in some way.
I agree that she should sometimes stop and consider if she is being played by the Tories where they use her as their unofficial mouthpiece. But then again that may mean she no longer gets access to the very top in government which will harm her career. Just about every time she is quoting a source who has an agenda, she is not saying that she always believes in that spin. In fact if you read her blogs on the BBC web site she comes across as pretty neutral. It is just that there are literally thousands of people on twitter just waiting for her to tweet anything given to her by her sources and pile in as they believe it is her opinion.

Move on, it's a lovely day.

Oh look quick over there is that a squirrel I see...........
Folk will move on when the story ends........story is still going strong despite Johnson desperately trying to cover up his involvement.
Tory Party are still talking about the Calderwood case [how long ago was that ]
Cummings situation was much more serious than Calderwood's
Remember she had the grace to apologise and resigned.

Just ignoring something major let's things fester and eats away at the trust of relationships, and this is one that's festering in the relationship between the people and our government.
No-one said ignore it and it will only fester if you let it.
You can ignore it (wrong)
Become obsessed by it (equally wrong)
Or give you're opinion and move on.
I for one prefer the latter.
It's still a nice day
