O/T Disgrace Cummings

[howdydoo]

Everyone in this photo and the plonker in the car should be reprimanded, suspended or fired. Where are the police?

All should apologize to our frontline staff and key workers. Scumbags.

Or should they all resign?

CAM. May be worth pulling this thread now as its descended into the usual mud throwing, in any event the matter has been dealt with by the PM

My word how things have changed & all within a few weeks
Remember this gm & I quote

"You really are a prick, and when people say “you wouldn’t say that to my face” ..I would say it to you no problem"
One rule for you eh?

[howdydoo]

Or should they all resign?

By all means.

Like a Monty Python sketch.

The media are a joke, grooming gangs, illegal immigrants being ferried across the channel daily, no interest at all.

The photo is very ironic isn't it.
It's ok to persecute one type of person (a well known individual, not necessarily a Tory) but not others ( front line journalists and photographers just trying to do their jobs)

Aren't those people breaking the law in a number of ways
One of the ironies being that the TV companies and newspapers are happy to encourage and endorse their staff or pay freelancers to act in this way and then use the footage to criticise others

Maybe the people in the photograph, owners of the newspapers and heads of the TV companies should also resign

Yes, the Conservatives should get rid of him. It's a PR and public trust disaster

Why do we think one is lying over the other/s?
Do any of them have prove he’s lying/they’re lying?
If there was 100% prove in your face would you accept it or still believe there’s lying?

This is the world we live in.

Clearly we can all see that pic of hypocrites or is it fame?

I’m not convinced that this will have a major impact upon the government and most people knew what they were getting when they voted Johnson into office.

Hard core remainers dislike Cummings because he was a major player in delivering the Leave vote, Labour supporters dislike him, because he came up with ‘Get Brexit Done’ (against which free internet and a policy of having no policy looked pretty lame), the media dislike him because he doesn’t give them soundbites and some Tories dislike him, because people who cross him tend to get their egos trampled on. Beyond that relatively small bubble, very few people give a damn.

Something like this can add to other factors to create a ‘mood’ against a government, but by itself it is largely insignificant and will be largely forgotten by 2024.

Eid Mubarak to all.

There's a lot of enemies getting made here Kerr plus those Johnson's made along the way to Downing Street .

I think his position following this is starting to become shaky .

Eyebrows were already starting to get raised before this weekend , his handling of the pandemic and the way Starmer is taking him apart in the HOC .

The government won't fall that's for sure but in my opinion Johnson will .

He's the rest of the year to steady his position for me which means getting everyone back to work safely , a massive recession to manage and the small matter of a trade deal to secure with the EU .

It's some itinerary to pull off for any PM never mind this one .

Gove and Sunak waiting in the wings .

Johnson has made lots of enemies getting to where he is, but he still walked the leadership election. It may be a bit like the Corbyn scenario; he may be disliked by the parliamentary party, but it's the votes of the membership that holds the whip hand.

As for Starmer, I think you may be seeing him through the eyes of someone who wants to believe. He is forensically excellent, but if Spitting Image were still going, they would have to re-use the John Major grey character.
