It’s time to move on

Credit to you AW (Letters , March 17). That question of yours really gets to the heart of the matter. My answer is yes and no. In common with the Durham Constabulary I observed lots of things which might or might

not have contravened Covid rules.

As with the Keir Starmer lock-in, I judged that an investigation lasting months and costing £100,000 would be needed to be sure.

So I applied a bit of common sense and gave the benefit of the doubt.

A good law can never be a matter for debate. Our impenetrable Covid regulations were the very definition of bad law. Up and down the country the decision to prosecute seemed to rely on the toss of a coin.

There were plenty of winners, like Dominic Cummings and Keir Starmer. And there were losers... the unluckiest of them all, a clean-living abstainer who arrived five minutes early for a scheduled meeting – Rishi Sunak. Let’s move on.
