OT Cummings Press Statement

[MadAmster]

The Durham police don't seem to think so

Police and think in the same sentence. Oxymoron?

.... only jesting. They don't think in this case. They state that his transgression was worthy of a "naughty boy, now turn round and go home but not worth a fine". That, apparently, is what the Law says on this. I can accept that. What I do have difficulty with, and am shocked that Durham police haven't looked at it, is his "test drive" with impaired vision. That is a traffic violation in itself. What, for me, makes it worse is that he compounded his error by putting his wife and son in the car, endangering their safety as well as that of himself and all other road users. Had it been you or I doing such a "test drive" of 30 miles there and another 30 back would we get away with it?

Thing is Maddy, how do you look into it?
If his vision was impaired, I'm guessing we have to be talking about cold like symptoms?
Watery eyes for example?

But how do you follow up on that after an event?
I know he wears glasses, so must I assume wear them when driving.
That would mean he should/has declared that on his license?
You can hardly knock on someones door though, weeks later after an event for a post eye test.

The legal issue is a red herring, the main issue is about those "elites" who you love to bash in power, not acting in accordance with the instructions which they had issued to us "plebs"! So these heroes of yours who you voted in because they are "on the side" of the ordinary man, are actually bigger hypocrites than those you despise! Cracking judgement!

Eh? That makes a lot of sense.
I told you before. We had a poolof people to vote for. If you are seriously telling me, there were better options on the table at election time. Then I can only conclude you need a piss test for drugs.

I think thats the excuse the "good" germans gave for voting Hitler into power!

Yes for anyone with half a brain there were better options than a lying toerag who has no principles, no grasp of reality and there was one option that would have served the "common" man much better, BUT of course the simpleton's fed upon the falsehoods spread by the right wing media and tinternet sources!

Lets face it, IF Corbyn had been elected, over half the more "out there" policies wouldn't have run, he'd have made a better fist of things than this disastrous government, not to mention the chickens coming home to roost from the cuts austerity etc. inflcited by previous Tory governments!

And if you'd any grasp on reality, you understand that in all likelyhoof if Corbyn had messed up, there would have been a quick change of leadership. Now your stuck with a party, that very definitely haven't your best interests at heart, run by unelected rich weirdo's who most definitely don't give a toss about you and your ilk, never had, never will, until its time to toss some scraps to the plebs like yourself come election time again!

Any one who watched Have I Got news For You last night will have seen and heard Ian Hislop dismantle Cummings completely. One thing which made me laugh, was that Cummings likes to take swipes at the media and said they misreported his location, when in point of fact his wife is a Journalist! She writes for the Spectator and had in fact written an article in which she claimed they had self isolated in London and it had finished just as London locked down! So a member of his family in the media spun lies about his whereabouts, you couldn't make it up!!
