Will Cummings go?

[CHAPPERS]

It's almost unbelievable, isn't it, that the PMs senior advisor AND his wife both had symptoms but never had a test.

 

[Bold Seagull]

He said last Monday neither had been tested, so it's almost impossible to know. All we have is her word for it, which given her recent history,,,

I'm definitely of the mind that when I am particularly ill, vomiting, temperature etc. I like to take an early evening 250 mile drive without stopping. It's like the best medicine.

What also worth noting is that his son had similar symptoms to his mother and tested negative.

(I wrongly assumed early that under 5s aren't tested. That isn't the case in England, only Scotland and Northern Ireland. )

He managed to do it while bedridden according to an article by his wife. So, in a nutshell, we have all been lied to and he has got away with it ! The rules don't apply to him so he is going nowhere now. As was quoted elsewhere " Man with no ideas refuses to sack man who gives him ideas "

I recommend the FT podcast, with David Allan Green - basically highlighting how Cummings' statement is the result of a lot of legal input (and in fact is highly unlikely to have been the work of Cummings at all).

Hey, thanks for suggesting this. Yes, that's exactly what it needed, a forensic analysis from somebody whose field is forensic analysis. The contrast between Hemingway and Joyce is quite revealing.
If anyone else is under any doubt as to whether Cummings' statement is an exercise in disinformation (which is a slightly watered down version of stating that we were being lied to), invest 25 minutes of your time on this.

Now the local council investigating why the spare cottage "doesn't exist" in terms of planning permission for change of use and council tax.

There's a scene in the final Harry Potter film where one of the henchmen to Draco Malfoy breaks his wand meaning every time he waves it it sets fire to everything around it. This came to mind reading this that someone who could apparently weave magic is now just burning down everything around him.

You DO know Harry Potter is a work of fiction?

Some lady made it up.

A ‘roof over a swimming pool’. One rule for the Cummings, another for us etc.

FFS.

Like his boss, he is obviously a chip off the old ****ish block.

And not widely reported he co-owns the property with his parents. He has also lived there full time before.

Who are the people complaining that Cummings had a hard time on HIGNFY?

Surprise. Lefty BBC dismisses complaints about weekly TV show that bashes the Tories from start to the end credits. Used to love watching it but, regardless of my politics, half an hour of humourless Boris bashing isn't entertainment - unlike the week they agreed not to Boris bash because he was seriously ill and they returned to actually being funny.

Ian Hislop is only biased against useless and/or lying politicians. If he's constantly laying into the Johnson there's a reason

Are you not missing the whole point of political satire ? And in Hislops defense he lays into any politician if he feels they have done anything that is worthy of ripping the piss out of them.

Satire involves humour. In my opinion, HIGNFY has become an unwatchable spite show. No humour, so no satire.

I really do get it having enjoyed satire since I was old enough to 'get it', and certainly made no reference towards 'that bloody lefty Ian Hislop'. Those are your words only, so back at you

Well I still find him funny and still find HIGNFY funny....It wasnt me that said 'that bloody lefty Ian Hislop' I very much doubt Hislop is a "lefty" anyway.

If you want an alternative, I have some films which might result in half an hour of bishop bashing...
