To be fair, it's a well known fact that paps are utter scum who'd sell their own gran in to sex slavery to get a story. That they behave like rabid animals doesn't excuse people who should know better.

Yes you did. Now are you going to get back to that point or keep ignoring it?

I have previously stayed at the (now shut down) Jersey Farm Hotel in Barnard Castle which was owned & run by “Mad” Mark Watson - who raced in the fastest class of the British Rallycross Championship.

Driving your family in your own car to a separate property and not coming into contact with anyone else has a somewhat different effect on the potential spread of a virus to huddling around a braying bunch of 15 strangers on the street.Gavin wrote: Tue May 26, 2020 11:54 amBoth broke the rules.

I doubt any of the media outlets they're representing trying to force dc to resign will be sacking them.

I think the Tories haven't dealt with the situation well. What's your point?

Re: Coronavirus
I think this, on top of the last couple of years has made me seriously consider getting the fvck out of dodge to another country or downsizing to the point where I can live in a wee cottage in the middle of nowhere to be honest.

We had a great year in Holland. Mainly because I didn’t watch or read the newspaper for 12 months and just got on with life. I should’ve carried on like that.
