What trust?

Gormless comes to mind...

No s**t Sherlock

A law unto themselves. Another Cummings moment!!

“Could”? Tory exceptionlists have torpedoed public trust and commitment to responsible living in this crisis.

One rule for all?

Tosh

Yeah got to COVID proof my house 😂🤣 who says a good education leaves you in good standing !

You credit the PM's father with an unusual level of influence on people's behaviour. Or do you not trust the IQ's of your own readers? Oh ............ I understand now.

... could erode trust after Cummings, jenrick, Johnson snr....

whole family is a joke

No shit.

In what possible way is Boris Johnson responsible for his father’s behaviour? Do you take responsibility for the actions of your parents?

Entitled tit

Already eroded - Cummings, Jenrick, Johnson’s father - just another example of all about who you are and who you know 😡

That ship sailed a long time ago....

Pig.

'Could'? Trust was lost a long time ago.

What do you mean ‘Could’? It obviously will!

If the parents of MPs are now targets of the Guardian, where there cannot possibly be any public interest argument, the Guardian has stepped over a line. No rules or laws have been broken and that's indisputable. Shame on the Guardian editorial team.

Only if you're a Guardian reader.

This is truly disgraceful reporting from the Guardian. This is not about a member of government, an elected official, a government advisor or anyone who has any accountability to the electorate. He hasn't broken any rules or laws and there is no such thing as a breach of advice.

but i thought that's what Cummings had already done?

Whoever wrote that headline must have been hiding in a cave for the last 3 months

The rules only apply to everyone except Johnson snd Cummings

Only if you lot keep banging on about it and reminding them they have someone else to blame their “fuck it” attitude on.

schooltruth What trust?

schooltruth Think trust was eroded eons ago! This just confirms it.

Is there any trust left?

Sons r supposed to obey their fathers, not vice versa. So how BorisJohnson's father's visit to Greece could erode trust in guidelines?

I think it has done

I trust this government like I would trust my dog with a cake.

Could?

Will someone please give all those Johnsons a double bitchslap, pur-lease?

What kind of father embarrasses his son like this?

Trust? I think that aeroplanes took off already! With good old Stan on it.

They are just guidelines, not law. The people need to wake up to that fact, instead of being brow beaten by MSM and the government.

That is why they released the story.

What trust?

Are there guidelines?

Whaddya mean, 'could' Trust went down the toilet years ago! It runs in the family/advisers, it's in the blood to behave like arrogant, self-centred, deceitful, lying (fill in blanks)!!

Perhaps the Greek Police should intervene?

He broke no rules.Another non story ...

How refreshing it was to see the Guardian having waited a week and yet STILL asking pointless gotcha questions instead of trying to progress the conversation, fact find and keep their readers safer. Saturday Headline : Man goes on holiday, breaks no laws. Embarrassing.

I’ll just correct that modal verb for you: “will”.

ThisGovIsAmericanSpy

Trust was eroded when Cummings did his own thing. This Government's handling of Covid-19 is totally shambolic! Do as we say, not as we do. Two sets of rules.

🤪

Again! “But we don’t care!” Sex Pistols

You can't erode any further what has already been washed out to sea. Nobody, but nobody, is listening to these utter gumps any more - if you are inside it's because you want to be, if you're outside it's because you want to be.

What trust would that be then?

Shouldn' that say Cummings trip 'could erode trust in guidelines'?

Could? Could? Erode trust !

Does anyone actually really know what the guidelines are?

Who writes this drivel? Jumping off a 20 storey building onto a concrete surface could result in injury. Really? It's just so British media.

Ya dont bloody say. Theres one rule for them one rule for us.

Cummings did that already. No seriously Cummings really has done that.

And Bulgaria is not even on the quarantine free list. Fine him now AllInThisTogether COVID

schooltruth NSS

No it couldn't. All trust in guidelines from Westminster have long gone.

'Could'?

Well put; and it can't be said said! Indeed, as they say, those to whom much is given, much is expected! A father to the British Premier, must be an example to the Nation and the world. He can't be the same one sending mixed signals. He has short himself on the foot!

Cummings did that.

Getting a bit banal now with the Tory exceptionalism brigade?

What trust ?

I don’t think my trust in this government could be eroded further They are lying incompetent arrogant idiots who care nothing for the people of the UK

That train has sailed

That happened long ago when Demonic Cummings fucked off to Durham

The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

'COULD erode trust?' No, ALREADY HAS eroded trust.

Is this Prat above the law? First we have Cummings breaking the rules. Where did Johnson's old man get his wealth. He sent two of his children to Public School that cost approximately £90,000 a year. Quarantine this old bastard then deport him and his to America.

There's been no faith in anything the government has done since BarnardCastleGate at the end of May, let's be honest.

That ship sailed and was piloted by St Dom notmovingontilldomhasgone JohnsonHasFailed

Could? Erode? Trust? Guidelines? None of these words gel with what is happening in UK right now. The erosion of trust is complete and the guidelines do not apply to HMG-UK cronies. Could you reflect this in your next tweet?

That’s a very generous ‘could’ in there... maybe better to point out that his buddy f*cking off to a castle on his wife’s birthday, ‘has’ ‘obliterated’ it... also maybe that the public got a similar response, ‘sod off serfs, we do what we want [sic]’?

In the voice of CatherineTates Nanas character 'What a liberty'

Remember how remainers were cheering, about Stanley Johnson, now he took a independent decision , the left wing are all out, snarling at the PM, make your damn minds up..utter tw**s

What trust?

There’s a saying close to the tip of my tongue...something negative about a beloved detective 🧐

Trust...🤔...Trust?..🤔...got nothing 🤷‍♂️.

TeresaC123 Erode? Trust has already withered and died

Typical

Exporting incompetence

But isn't BorisJohnsons Dad special in the same way that DominicCummings is i.e. one of the elite ToryShambles ToryLies TorySmokeAndMirrors BorisJohnson PrimeMinister DominicCummings

Mad Johnston family running Britain.Cant be true Who let that happen Oh no First him then mad brother then insane father now skirt number 5 . Assad Family Trump Family Johnston Family! 65000 UK dead 130000USA dead Syria 400000+ . Get them all to Greece and close our borders.

It's an easy fix, sack Dominic and publicly reprimanded his father. BorisJohnson could have done this but he has no backbone or respect for his own guidance.

White,privileged toffs think it’s one rule for us plebs and one rule for them .

Yeah, if you publicise this ad nauseum and keep banging on about it it just might.

TeresaC123 You don’t say.

I think most of us are exhausted by how unfair it all seems. The Cummings episode showed that we can be as angry as we want (I still am), but that BJ et al couldn't care less. So on we go.

“Rules are for all you suckers” because some are more equal than others....

It probably would do if you're an idiot who looks to others' actions and possible mistakes to justify your own actions. Rather than trusting your own feelings and reactions to advice.

schooltruth He’s hiding behind the Ottoman jn the ground floor if you are looking for him GreeceinUK

Dominic Cummings

Quite frankly. I'm sick of these Johnson cnuts.

The trust ship sailed some time ago.

could? noshitsherlock

He's a Conservatives....they only care about themselves 👊

No, it erodes trust in the current administration. The guidelines are fine and sensible. The current badministration though..

If only we had a pm that could have restored it by saying - my dad was wrong! He should not have traveled

We saw it Cummings

'could erode trust in guidelines' ... is there any trust remaining to be eroded? 🤔😐🤬

We know there are 2 sets of rules. The Cummings and papa things were in purpose, to shove us back into shops, pubs and holidays. Daft ones fell for it

Guidelines and advice aren’t rules or laws, they’re optional. That means you can choose to abide by them or decide they aren’t applicable to your situation. Doesn’t matter if you’re the PMs dad or a cleaner from Bognor.

Encore une fois?

This gentleman has did enough damage the day he decided not to use contraception.

Trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted on that one

Trust?

Never trust a Tory it’s a rule to live by

has already

Was there any trust left after Dominic's trip to County Durham?

Stanley Johnson; definitely someone who wouldn’t think twice about eating a scotch egg whilst on the loo...
