Will Cummings go?

The good news is it matters not what a repugnant waste of semen like you thinks of Me.

The bad news is that we have a PM that legitimises spunking on lowlifes and society in general.

Genuine question, what do you actually get out of this?

Losing an argument so you turn to abusive behavior. Cool.

I don't want to go through banning people from threads and issuing infractions that I can see, in some cases, will trigger short-term bans from the whole site, so please just stop.

If the Guardian/Mirror have something else up their sleeve for Tomorrow/Tuesday's paper, then this will run and run.
My guess is they haven't and so Cummings has decided to balls this one out.

If any evidence surfaces of the alleged second journey, this could get interesting, but I expect the same sort of approach to be adopted.

With no election on the horizon, what have the Tory party really have to fear from this crisis?

I'm desperate for this to continue, so more and more realise what this lot are like. That said, there's no chance that they'll balls this out.

If you aren't getting enough just watch Veep.

This is a huge tester for the UK population's relationship with politics. The previous response to this would be for the one at the centre of the stink to mumble apologies and offer his resignation. He would slink off into the background for a bit and return when the fuss had died down. (Welcome back Liam, everyone's forgotten you taking your mate into secret defence meetings.)

If Johnson gets away with this, we will see the Trump policy of lie, distract, never apologise becoming a political norm in this country. It's up to us all to draw a line in the sand, regardless of which political parties we may support. We can't let this stand. If the very damaged relationship between us and our politicians is to survive and be rebuilt, he has to go.

My local MP (I live in a constituency in Somerset with a huge Tory majority) ALWAYS toes the line. He is a whips dream. But this evening he's tweeted "I'm unconvinced by the PM's defence of Cummings." Very mild, of course - but it comes from a staunch loyalist. He's not a regular user of social media, and I imagine his followers are mainly true-blue Tories....but looking through the responses almost all are in agreement with him and VERY anti Cummings and Boris. Nothing scientific, of course, but if that's the view in rural Somerset, then I think this is more than a passing hiccup.

...then no.

The conversation and debate is an important one, which is why the petty bickering and name-calling is more tiresome than ever, and I will stop people from doing it if they don't immediately stop it themselves.

This does remind me a little of the OJSimpson car journey prior to arrest.

This is their big problem. There aren't two groups they can face off against each other in a culture war and distract everyone while they carry on regardless. Everyone has obeyed the lockdown, and those that haven't are miniscule in number. They've alienated everyone who followed their own rules through this.

Needs to resign from Sage if she feels that strongly.

Dear god imagine watching the M1 from a helicopter.

Ive heard there's a nice chateau at Barnard's Castle the commentators could talk about.

We need something to replace our clap for carers which is an appreciation for the NHS with somethings which shows our disdain and anger for the cabinet, PM and Cummings. Any ideas?! Every Thursday (or another day) at 8 we all.....?

I read your original post as a potential blanket ban on the subject. After re-reading and reading your latest post I have more clarity. I've called out people on both sides of the debate for the behavior you've mentioned this evening.

That said, I withdraw my previous comment.
