If there was a fully functional Test track & trace system, aided by a non government app for peoples 'phones, much of the problem would be solved imo. Instead Doris & Cummings have spent £12Billion of our money so far and the results are frankly best described as dog shit. The app, designed and overseen by GCHQ is never going to be acceptable to the vast majority of people, as can be clearly seen by the minimal take up. I mean no offence but the public don't trust the establishment nor the the police and allowing both onto their 'phones is not going to happen.

Reply from my MP when I wanted her to tell me where she stood on Cummings breaking the rules he (helped) make. Dear Adrian, Thank you for your email regarding the recent news reports around Dominic Cummings’ actions in relation to the current lockdown. I’m really sympathetic to your comments, and agree that the Government must make sure all those who are involved in setting out the rules for citizens should be making sure they uphold them in their own lives. I’m incredibly proud that the vast majority of residents across South Northamptonshire have acted responsibly throughout this crisis, despite often very harrowing experiences both with families and jobs at this uncertain time. As you will have seen from Monday’s press briefing, Dominic Cummings maintains that he was acting within those rules, but in seeking to represent the views of my constituents I have written to the Prime Minister to make him aware of your strength of feeling on the matter. I do hope you are keeping well, and send you my best wishes Andrea Rt Hon. Andrea Leadsom MP Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire
At least you know where you stand with this particular politician. On your own. If all the people he fails make it public he might not be your MP in the future. Every little helps
I wonder what it would take to really make a difference. The official petitions seem to be a waste of time, from what I read it gets debated and rejected. My thoughts are, no one vote, absolutely no one - a proper ‘people’s vote of no confidence’ in any of them.
Maybe. Does it really change anything ? My history is poor, but does it take a figurehead, like Gandhi or Martin Luther King to really change things ?
The only U turn on a policy I can recall was when this kind of action was taken. Writing to your MP IMO only let’s you vent
I think you might be onto something! I just copied you and sent @Akorenika 's text to the my local windbag. I'll let you know what I get back if anything. People hate him so much that he has closed his Twitter account because he couldn't handle the ridicule! LOL.
Remember it next time an election comes round. The best way to hurt these clowns is to vote them out. They do not give a shit about anything else.
The track and trace system is worse than useless. My son had a text to say he may have come into contact with someone who had tested positive when he had not left the house for a week.
Like @Akorenika said, every little helps. He should start a thread of texts we can all send to our honourable MPs.
