    "[Some] have been advised that if they put an Aberdeen postcode into the system, they can get a test in Twickenham. And they have succeeded," says Lib Dem MP Munira Wilson Health Secretary Matt Hancock says people should "not game the system" http://bbc.in/3mpI3tZ pic.twitter.com/HjhpYFEnXH

        Why should other people not game the system when the tories have done it since the beginning of time?

        If this Govt were honest and trustworthy, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt... but this squeeze on tests does look like it's to surpress the statistics not the virus

        "I booked myself a test 550 miles away from home, requiring a 10 hour drive and an overnight stay. I'll show them Tories, ha!"

        I think the point is she's the MP for Twickenham. So her constituents would not have far to travel in reality. Only on the world bearing system! You couldn't make it up!

        They aren't gaming the system, they're doing what they deem necessary to keep their family safe. This is the equivalent of taking the kids to Durham to be near family, or taking a test drive to check your eyesight. You reap what you sow Mr Hancock...
