...yet puzzlingly none of them were arrested by West Midlands Police officers called to the scene by rightly-concerned cemetery staff.

A quite astonishing statement by the already beleaguered WMP laughably asserted that the mourners were observing social distancing protocols, but photographic and witness evidence from the scene clearly exposes this is as a falsehood. 

What was so special about this group of people that the rules seemingly did not apply to them, and as such have avoided arrest?

Meanwhile, the MP is reported to have attended a SECOND funeral that day that attracted 20 mourners, again completely flouting the restrictions, but still not the subject of any police investigation.

But you guys think this MP is a pariah and should be ashamed of himself for attending a funeral, even though social distancing was observed.

What do you feel about the people in charge allowing this illness to come into the country?

Of course politicians should be role models in parts of live, but is the UK population that immature to be so heavily influenced by this particular event? You've got politicians from all over not adhering to the rules.

In the US you have the entire gang still standing shoulder to shoulder, using the same podiums, microphones etc.
In the UK you had leading politicians shaking hands with everyone in a hospital, boasting about it, and I think distance at podiums wasn't 2m either (though could be wrong on this)
In the Netherlands you had Mark Rutte hold a press conference telling everyone that there must absolutely not be any hand shaking anymore...only for him to shake the hand of his podium partner. Upon being told what he just did, he laughs and touches the other person yet more closely in a bizarre turn of events.

I mean...would people really go like "Oh, Mark Rutte shook hands. Now I will!"

But the point here is ..... We have all been told that funerals are restricted to a maximum of 6 people. Weddings etc have been cancelled.
This guy turns up at someone's funeral and there are about 100 people there.

As an MP he should not have attended. If he had not attended, we would never have heard anything about this particular funeral.

I simply don't think people will be heavily impressed and influenced by this.

Or did the broader British public suddenly go into hospitals, hugging everyone, after Boris bragged about having shaken everyone's hand at a hospital at which he said there had been corona patients at the time?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2020/mar/27/i-shook-hands-with-everybody-says-boris-johnson-weeks-before-coronavirus-diagnosis-video

No, of course they didn't. Similarly, people were going to, or not going to, funerals and follow the rules there or not. Regardless of this no name MP that I reckon most will have never heard of before.

So you think his advisors just stood idly by and let Boris (the leader of this country) do a potentially lethal act upon his own person?


Anyway, this thread is about a bloke called Tahir Ali ( I believe you referred to him as a no-name earlier, so disrespectful imo). Turning it into an anti Boris thread is just how you try to divert the discussion.

Well, Angela Merkel officially announced on February 28 ( that shaking hands was uncool (though then a few days later on either March 1 or 2, she almost accidentally shook the hand of Horst Seehofer, but the ever smart Bavarian declined it)

The BBC asked on March 3: "Coronavirus: The 'Wuhan shake' or the elbow bump?" as alternatives to shaking hands.

So...yeah...shaking hands was already deemed uncool in early march when Boris bragged about it.
