Remove UK Gov officials from their job if they breach Coronavirus lockdown rules
During the current crisis, all government officials should be setting an example to the UK population and adhering the rules set out by the Government to defeat the pandemic. If an official breaks these rules, they inherently undermine the governments attempts to keep the UK population safe.
This could lead to the undoing of all the hard work that the UK as a whole have been engaging in, adding further pressure to an already stretched NHS.
Their actions should be treated in the same way as an act of gross misconduct by a company employee, and they should therefore be removed from their post.
