DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Let's face it if Dominic Cummings does not resign or is sacked the UK Gov will lose what little credibility it has remaining. The very fact the BBC and the No 10 spin machine are trying to justify why he and his family can drive to his parents 250 miles away, when they should have been self isolating due to them having symptoms is an insult to every single one of us. There are millions of people in this country who have not had any symptoms, nor have they had to self isolate and yet they have had to do without many of things we enjoy in life to keep others safe by staying at home and observing social distancing when out of the home. Many of people have or are now facing losing their jobs or seeing their businesses go under due to this crisis. So on that basis alone Mr Cummings should no longer be on the payroll of UK Gov creaming off a six figure salary while many people lose their livelihoods. It is simple as that. It absolutely riles me that people in power think they are above the law...... and one final point to add, when is Prince Charles going to get his knuckles formally wrapped for travelling to Scotland when he should have remained at his London home self isolating due to having symptoms? 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 They acted no differently in the interim period when the story broke. As more information came to light, the story didn't stack up and Calderwood had to go. She resigned of her own accord, however. Tonight's briefing ought to be fun for whatever chump is sent out to defend this. My money's on Gove. I think the big difference is that Katherine Calderwood didn't tell the truth in the first place - you can bet your bottom dollar that Boris has known about this for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 There is a decent chance that Boris and co are misjudging this badly. I have quite a few English friends on Facebook and even his most die-hard fans are seething at this one. I haven't seen a single post from any of them supporting Cummings. Not seeing much support on Twitter either.Plenty of folk were unable to be at the bedside of a loved one, missed out on family funerals, haven't seen parents, grandparents or grandchildren for weeks, guys missed out seeing their babies being born, while this p***k has been breaking the rules which he helped come up with while lying to his back teeth. He wrote this in the Spectator himself... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The weirdest thing for me is the idea of sticking your diseased wife together with your toddler son in a car for 5 hours, and then expecting your elderly parents to look after your son, as he initially claimed according to LK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Should add that the Spectator have since stuck that article behind their paywall.It's a pity that all these "friends" who are now rallying around Cummings, couldn't have offered to drop him in some shopping when he was ill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, I can't see a way in which the Tories will bow to public pressure here. Pretty much every single minister has condoned the behaviour. Can they back pedal from that? They're just going to front it out, happy in the knowledge that no-one can do anything about this until the next election which is a long, long time away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The "Journeymakers" eh? Hopefully not the same lot they had at Glasgow 2014 who would tell people that Mount Florida was the only station in walking distance of Hampden, and that there were no train stations near Glasgow Green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaslighting the public by answering any question on it with an irrelevant answer to a different question, accompanied by a massive brass neck. They’ll simply pretend the didn’t hear any criticism, maintain they took the correct action and then pretend it all didn’t happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
