Will Cummings go?

[Bold Seagull]

It seems NSC can only just about put a Cummings XI together, but if any withdraw then they'll struggle to put out a full side.

Mouldy’s opening the batting but his footwork is awful, he’s not getting in line and is just wafting the bat outside off stump. Walking wicket at this point, and probably his last word...

 

[maltaseagull]

Oh, I had no illusions that it was an act of spontaneous sincerity.

Now that's a word that cannot be used in relation to politicians!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No Bias there then.

Maybe they could have put:

. I made mistakes
. Perhaps I should not have driven
. I kept socially distanced at ALL times
. I am dad TRYING to do the BEST for my family

These are my last words on this thread because it is pretty obvious to me that, there are so many with NO humanity or just can't help being a sheep.

If anyone with any logic looked at it in how it actually was: Cummings put him and his family in a bubble and stayed in that bubble INFECTING NOBODY else for 14-15 days until he was TOLD he was SAFE to return to work.

He has NOT been a super spreader this is nothing but a sad HATE campaign to one of the KEY figures that looks after our country and this is how you repay them.

Maybe take a look at those people on the beaches, the press I have seen so many WORSE breeches of the rule and NONE have been brought to account.

Poor show of humanity from the left, in particular, makes me squirm when they pretend to be humane.

Comic genius.

The focus seems to be on the "eye-test drive", but surely the bigger story is about the trip to the hospital while they were up there? I seem to have missed the details - can someone explain what happened?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

When will it get through your seemingly thick skull that this has nothing to do with the Tory's or Brexit?

I voted for both.

I will not be taken for a fool by Boris or his nasty lying little sidekick any longer.

Maybe not for you ,as for the others on this thread (the usual suspects )

I tried this exercise in fairness. How would I have reacted to Dom's narrative if I'd be a mate of his and given him the benefit of any doubts and wanted to see him in the best light? What would I have said to him and how would I have reacted? I mulled this over for a while. Here was a guy under all sorts of pressure. He saw his family either ill or about to be ill. He was in the jaws of a dilemma the like of which few of us will face, given his job and his public profile.
Moreover, he's been hounded by the press pack for days baying for his political blood.

Taking all this into account, my response would have been : "Dom, old mate, you are a complete **** and should resign."

With an awful lot of wool.

Awful lot of flannel.

 

[Si Gull]

To tell us all that it's "important to stick to the facts" while telling a massive lie is quite remarkable.

Surely even the most ardent Cummings/Johnson sympathiser must acknowledge that driving 30 miles is not the most logical eye test available?

It beggars belief that there are still people that support Johnson/Cummings in the face of what is obvious to everyone, that they, and the majority of Tory MPs, are prepared to lie openly to the public whilst casually belittling those that have sacrificed so much to adhere to government advice during Lockdown. And all this from the party extolled for actioning the 'will of the people'.

Sickening.

I've figured it out. He was lying yesterday to make sure he could lie properly in the future and return to work. Affecting your ability to lie is one of the symptoms he had so he wanted to be sure he was OK.

Alternatively, my advise would be:-

'Just own it'.

'but whatever you do, don't try and weasel, now I know that's your natural response, but not this time.
No silly excuses, no half truths, no little white lies, don't think you're smarter than everybody else, just own it'.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Michael Gove, who Cummings has been close to for YEARS, did not know that he was in Durham until the story broke. Seriously?

How exactly is anyone supposed to believe that?

 

[vegster]

Michael Gove, who Cummings has been close to for YEARS, did not know that he was in Durham until the stroy broke. Seriously?

Johnson in his press conference last night said he knew nothing about his most senior confidante's movements or actions at the time.... strange that ? but strangely not surprising.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I thought maybe I had somehow been transported to the other side of the Atlantic yesterday

Positively Trumpesque

The focus seems to be on the "eye-test drive", but surely the bigger story is about the trip to the hospital while they were up there? I seem to have missed the details - can someone explain what happened?

All I remember is that Cummings said he was "too ill to get out of bed" on April 2, but picked up his wife and son from the hospital on April 3 "because there were no taxis".

Another possible lie to emerge today - the bluebell woods they walked in, which Cummings claimed were on his father's private land, belong to the Woodland Trust and are open to the public.

Pictures emerge of Dominic and Mary’s trip to Durham while bedridden for 10 days.

Indeed. Literally. I felt ill last night - not so much regarding Cummings' trip to Durham. If you take it at face value, you could just about rationalise it. But the obfuscation, lying, the ridiculous story about the trip to Barnard Castle - they are clearly playing us all. They sincerely believe that the mass of normal people in this country are just inconveniences in their power game, and that we can be lied to casually, daily, with impunity. And don't get me started on the awful way the whole Covid tragedy has been managed - we have just about the highest death rate in the world (on a per capita basis)*.

This once great country (ok, not always great) is being ridiculed around the world.

*Only Belgium and Spain above us (according to the Financial Times' analysis - and Belgium has been recording just about every death as Covid-19, whilst we are rapidly catching up Spain and will almost certainly pass them soon)

Can envisage that this won't be the only one.

Walls are crumbling for the Tories.
