sacked

[Witton Park]

Different offences - apples and pears. Both are fruit, but different fruit. Yes, there are worse offences than driving to Barnard Castle to test your eye sight - but this is not an excuse in law.

The big flaw is that you are declaring it an offense.

It wasn't.

But another flaw is your claim that he went to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight. It was his wife who was concerned. He was prepared to go straight to London.

From his statement.
On Sunday 12 April, 15 days after I had first displayed symptoms, I decided to return to work. My wife was very worried, particularly given my eyesight seemed to have been affected by the disease. She didn't want to risk a nearly 300-mile drive with our child, given how ill I had been.

There was still a good train service running between London and Durham, with social distancing measures in place on trains and at stations. Seems a lot more safe and sensible than driving a long distance when you're not really feeling up to it. And after all, he had an excellent case for saying that the travel was essential.

He was still feeling OK to drive when they went up. He was concerned that he might become ill because he was working closely with others that had including Johnson and Hancock.

So: on the one hand we have unbridled and unreasonable prejudiced hatred of and vilification towards the man and doubts on his fitness to be a husband and father or even exist as a human being, and

- calm, balanced lucid reasoning based on a belief in fairness, honesty, integrity and respect for the human spirit and the rights of all mankind to be judged fairly; not against bias, perjury and slander but measured simply against the purity of unadorned and transparent facts.

Tough call eh?

OK, I understand now. He drove 260 miles because he was feeling fine. Then he thought, "Hey, I've been working with people who have had coronavirus. I may start feeling ill on the way back".

The Secret Barrister thinks it was an offence - sure, just an opinion, but a legal opinion.
