"Caught with pants down"- UK top Covid scientist!

You may not have heard the news that the UK's top scientist advising our government to lockdown the nation, and stop people coming into contact even with their loved ones, has had two visits from his lover, (a married woman to boot!).

Not surprisingly the man has resigned from his government advisory role, and I suppose there will be some admiration for the brass neck of the man, but ridicule, and condemnation is obviously more likely.

He may well have saved lives by his advice that he couldn't follow himself, and if he'd been listened to earlier maybe more would have been saved, (questionable whether more saved in the long run?), so we owe the man those acknowledgements, but he'll not live this down in a hurry! :mad: .

I think he'll live it down in a big hurry, because society (as a whole) forgets all too easily, and with so much surrounding the ways and means of life at this time, in a few days the storm will blow over and life will carry as if nothing happened.

I'm going to suggest this scientist, or his lover, were not familiar enough with the large spoon, your mother used to "paddle" you with sometimes, (or maybe they needed less?).

I'm not sure you understand quite how long some folks memories are over here, especially ones stuck in small flats day and night for weeks, largely on this mans say so, we're lead to believe.

At the same time his contribution to national hilarity is unmatched in recent times, and with so many people stressed or depressed, I'd like to give him credit for this relief he's given us all. ☺ .

I often liken my memory to that of an elephants... and even then, as riled as I can get over certain issues, I tend to roll-over on all within a day or two, because that's the sort of world we live in, everything is here today and gone tomorrow (so to speak), and the same holds true for circumstances such as this, I'd be really surprised if the whole thing isn't forgotten about in days.
 
To the folks in theUK, it’s been interesting to say the least to follow the adventures of your Boris. He reminds me of our own blond funny haired monster, but much less dangerous. So glad he got over the covid & looks healthier than before. But Im surprised your scientist took so much heat over his tryst when I don’t ever remember a time when a British PM had a publicly acknowledged mistress & love child. ā€œNot that there’s anything wrong with that....ā€ as Seinfeld used to say....
 
History: Washington, D. C. in the 60's or 70's one of our esteemed congressmen and his honey were prancing around in a fountain in the wee hours of in of the night.

At the time, his behavior was unacceptable.
(yes, newspapers were received and read-I told you it was history)
Newspapers reporters badgered the old fart, 'What/ why were you and your young thing doing, wading around a fountain in the A.M.?
The police state you appeared to be drunk, any comments?
Are you going to explain this to your constitutes back home?
The young thing appears to know you quite well, any comments?
It was great fun, the congressmen, lied, and lied, and the
reports gave us a daily update...
So, in that ancient time, old farts diddling around with their
young things was unacceptable; now everything is acceptable unless you get caught.
