Popular Post Kadilo Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Lying through his teeth. Just happened to stop the only two times he got spotted. Drove 30 miles to test his eyes ???? What will be his downfall eventually will be his arrogance and lack of compassion. He had a chance to show so humility for those who had loved ones die alone and funerals they couldn't attend. Not one ounce of regret. He was only concerned about telling how he stayed within the law. On a positive note the restrictions are now lifted. Whatever Johnson says he has lost all credibility and it is open season with no retribution. The Police are now powerless and there is no point in pleading for support and common sense. It’s all gone along with his judgement. Edited May 25, 2020 by Kadilo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vogie Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Well there ya go, a storm in a teacup. Dominic Cummings certainly came out of the interview with more credibility than the Tory hating press. As for Beth Rigby, what a disgrace that woman is, she is there to report the news not to give her personal political views, as somebody said "she is a 10W bulb in a 60W fitting" Time to move on chaps, nothing to see here.???????????? 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Emdog Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Whatever becomes of this story, I applaud British people overall for expecting their leaders to observe same rules as the general public.

Maybe a bit of legacy from all pulling together WW2 There are fears that the British people will no longer observe lockdown rules due to Cummings actions. Not a bit of it, they know that this scumbag is beneath them and will go the extra yard to prove that they are better than him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Logosone Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Russell Martin tweeted: 'So are you telling us that the lockdown is now officially over and we can do whatever we like whenever we like? Because if Dominic Cummings can break the rules with impunity, the rest of us can too.' Meanwhile, surfers in Woolacombe, Dorset, claimed they had every right to defy appeals to stay at home from locals at tourist spots, with Jen, 26, from Warwick, telling MailOnline: ‘If Dominic Cummings can travel from London to Durham during the height of lockdown, then really no one can say anything.’ Her friend, Liching, 26, from London, added: ‘I was a little apprehensive of what the locals would think and worried we might upset them but I've not left my house, except for daily walks, since lockdown started. I feel that if Dominic Cummings thought it was acceptable to drive that distance in lockdown, no one can get upset at us for driving now when the government have also said that it's ok.’ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8354291/Fears-lockdown-collapse-crowds-hitting-parks-beaches-79F-heatwave.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Whilst i am a supporter of Boris, he needs to stop, think about the country first What Cummings did was in the interests of his family, which most men would do. Now he helped make the rules, which are meant for everyone, regardless of who they are. He has caused furor in the country, and he should do the honourable thing and resign. Or Boris should step up and sack him. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he there ? Come on Phil, you are better than a BBC journalist. You may not like the guy but he didn't have an afternoon out at Barnard Castle he drove to the outskirts of the village. You can argue that that was not the right thing to do but please do not embellish the story just to sensationalise it. There is too much of that happening in the UK.

Or Boris should step up and sack him. Boris is not reliable. It was claimed yesterday that Covid had impaired Boris vision requiring him to wear glasses more. In 2014 Boris admitted in a D.Mail article to being blind as a bat. Cummings on return to London decided to edit a blog he had written in 2019 to include prediction of coronovirus. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who drove 200 miles to Cornwall for fresh air will have got away with a warning and no one will clammer for his resignation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, admitted it himself yesterday. 60 mile round trip to "test his eyes". 555 Also had a stroll along the riverbank. Stopped on the way back to let his son have a toilet break. Everyone got out of the car and, Cummings muttered as an anecdote "have a little play with my son". You couldn't make it up. Oh, actually he did. 555 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect s**t parcels through his letterbox. I can imagine the type of neighbours he has. Guardian reading, Europhile Labour voters.

Sniveling little panty sniffers, huddled up in the dark recording a domestic argument through the walls and then selling it to a tabloid newspaper ????. Pathetic specimens.

He was the mastermind behind Labours attempt to win the GE, he cost Labour their biggest defeat since the 1930s, he took the electorate for fools, they paid the price.

Nothing mighty about it. It was a car crash event which seriously backfired as they tore him a new a.rsehole. Typical bully boy who when confronted looked like a little scared boy. Personally I along with many other will be pleased the lockdown has come to a premature end and we can now get back to normal life.

Look at them now trying to make this guys life unbearable. Total hypocrites. I didn't see much social distancing going on when they circled him going about his daily business.
