Gordon R Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 If she was genuinely concerned about her parents, I can't get too excited about it. Stephen Kinnock did it, but I don't recall any Police action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 From Sky News; Amanda Holden broke lockdown rules by travelling more than 200 miles to see her parents in Cornwall. The Britain's Got Talent judge said she made the journey after receiving a "distressing telephone call from her elderly father on Friday afternoon". In a statement, her agent added: "Amanda is aware that all families are going through difficulty during these turbulent times. "On balance Amanda felt the round trip to Cornwall was necessary to contain the matter at her family home." The agent added that Holden was "devastated" that she had to break the travel rules on this occasion, but stressed the star "did not act on a whim and has adhered to COVID rules every step of the way in all three lockdowns". Both of her parents have been vaccinated and she is being tested for coronavirus once a week, so she "felt she was not putting her parents at risk". The Sun reports that the 49-year-old, who is now back in London ahead of her 50th birthday on Tuesday, has been reported to the police over the journey.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hello, there are millions of families with elderly parents living outside their area who have not seen them for months due to lockdown rules, why should she be any different, fine her £10, 000 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 More rules being broken every single day in supermarkets. Lock down traffic is no different from any normal day without Covid around. 1 member of staff came into work with Covid (no idea he had it) contracted from his wife who works in child care were 2 children were carrying from their parent, this infected over 12 people, possibly allot more secondary infections away from the nursery. Not defending Amana Holdens action but when you look at all other areas where we could improve possible areas of contracting the virus it was pretty low risk compared to the rest.

lakeside1000 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) I just think she should have had the decency to come to see me as well while she was out on the road, I'm old and needy , anyway I hope her parents are ok , us oldies are really feeling the lockdown stress , we are lucky as my youngest son lives just round the corner and is able to keep an eye on us. This lockdown has gone on far too long, 28% of British adults , which is most of the vulnerable groups, have had at least one jab, its time to man up and get on with life.

Yes how silly of the vast majority of people to comply and hope that by doing so and having the vaccinations we might be able to get back to something akin to the old normality.

She could have called their GP, a neighbour, even, yes, Social Services. When my late mother started at aged ninety two having falls I told her to sell her house, down size, buy a bungalow and have it fitted with railings, aids and etc.. To spend some money on a daily care visitor to cover when I was abroad and the days here gardener and his wife didn't come. I said if she carried on and fell and I was absent I could not come back from abroad. She was clear. "I know. And I wouldn't expect you too." She was a war widow so I also knew her reponse would be nothing but that. I've no sympathy with this Holden nor her parents' blackmail.

Anybody who wouldn’t is heartless/stupid. This. We’ve lost all independent thought / reason and now we actively look for and cry out for more rules and government regulation regardless of how potty or pointless. I knew it was over when people started cheering for 10 years in prison for ‘rule breakers’. So, both of her elderly parents have been vaccinated, she’s tested weekly and in a one off emergency she drove to Cornwall. Oh lock her up and throw away the key.

Apart from saying ‘it’s currently against the law’ I couldn’t come up with any other explanation or reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
