Jail her for life if her eyes were ok to drive ????

A distressing phone call means at least he was alive, they have things like video-calling now, no need to travel.

I lost my mother during the lockdown aged 90.. I couldn't go to the funeral to say goodbye... that's distressing !

Devastated that she was found out, more like.

What a selfish woman, dont care about anybody only herself.????????

She was NOT devastated to have made the trip. She was devastated that it was discovered that she made the trip, and it was widely reported. 

 

Not sure why seeing ones elderly parents is all of a sudden considered unacceptable. There is a sense of precaution, and then there is extremism. 

At least it wasn't Durham Castle.

Well, she is part of the elite set. Good for me, but not for thee. Most of us will complain and call it out, but will 'the people' vote in new governments to change it. Doubtful.

I'm not sure if being a Britain's Got Talent judge puts one exactly into an elite category. Maybe for a few excited Red Top newspaper readers.

Two tiered justice.
Somebodies:  Get a pat on the head, a biscuit, and a pass on their actions by the media and government officials.
Commoners: Get arrested, fined, and jailed while being publicly ostracised as granny-killers.

She was "devastated" to be found out.

She knows the rules. Face the consequences. I agree, devastated to have been found out. 

WGAS?

She used to bang Les Dennis, surely that qualifies her as being "elite". ????
