& #39;Living with coronavirus was SO hard for us& #39; (Spectator)

This weekend...

& #39;We went to Durham so the grandparents could look after our son.& #39;

& #39;Scratch that... the sisters, and the niece& #39;. 1/6

& #39;And they didn& #39;t help (though life was SO hard) - all they did is leave food and supplies outside.& #39;

& #39;And, of course, we were in a separate property& #39; (with occasional ABBA in the (shared?) garden). 2/6

& #39;The police did not speak to the family& #39;.

& #39;Scratch that... My father called the police about something unrelated (and the visit happened to come up in conversation)& #39;. 3/6

& #39;My wife was ill, and I just knew that I was literally just about to become too ill to look after our son... Of course, I was well enough to drive.& #39;

& #39;The rules and the guidance make an exception for... [Grant Shapps adds the words].& #39; 4/6

Did you stop on the drive to Durham? But what about the other dates? The castle, for instance?

& #39;Campaigning journalists are making claims some of which are untrue. Enough already, let& #39;s move on.& #39; 5/6

& #39;He followed the instinct of every father and parent... and I do not mark him down for that.& #39;

& #39;His overriding aim was to stop the spread of the virus and save lives.& #39;

I somehow don& #39;t think this is going to convince anyone. 6/6
