O/T Disgrace Cummings

[crashbang]

They travelled to his house. Not essential travel.
And not social distancing. Sack them all.

What makes me laugh me laugh is this starts from end March/beginning of April but no one was interested but now the death rates are falling/lockdown slowly being eased they now decide to find something else to be negative about.
Sporting events like Cheltenham which some of us agreed shouldn’t have gone ahead will be news now I suppose.

Media love negative and will break the laws constantly but that’s ok

They were travelling to work. It is allowed under the new regs.

Wow, just wow. Gutter press. End of.


Cummings should have resigned. Like many before him, he'd have been back within 9 months. The 'poorly eyes' story will do for him. Might just have got away it with an apology. Dipstick.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Focus on the Cummings media scrum, let's not question how the Government is handling the crisis nor how they got things wrong or right.

Plus an added bonus that it's a good time to bury bad news if any type.

You may be also get junior ministers who aren't up to the job using it as a reason to resign.

Whilst the Cummings story is dominating the media space there's another aspect to this that's a little under the radar .

It brings in to question that if a PM is prepared to lose so much political credit with the electorate , create a division within his own party , a minister has resigned this morning over the affair then what's that say about Johnson's ability to do the job without him .

Tail wagging the dog ? .

Bear in mind Johnson's an 80 seat majority and a cabinet full of brexit admirers .

Just exactly how weak and insecure can you be ? .

He's an advisor , nothing more than that .

Just remember

I’ve been laying low and not following too closely news happenings this last week but was aware of this furore. So yesterday evening I decided to watch the explanation given by the bloke himself. I have to say I thought he gave a reasonable explanation of the events and his thinking.
I would say that if I had found myself in a similar situation I could well see myself doing the same to help protect my family and minimise effects to others.
What I do find sad but unfortunately not surprising is the response to this whipped up hysteria created by all sides of the political and media establishment.
I new little of him previously so did a bit of reading up. Well it turns out that pretty much that he is disliked by lots of tories, labour and the press. Pretty much sees things and says it as it is. Sees through the lot of them. It Explains the witch-hunt.
Think we’d be better off with more people like him at the centre of power, at least trying to help keep politicians honest. Might help improve the political stock.
He might be the key to getting through the Brexit mess to come.

If you were concerned you had vision problems you would make a 30 minute drive with your wife and young child in the car 'just to be safe'?

Good grief.

A test drive following serious illness to check if ok before embarking on a longer journey....quite reasonable, actually quite sensible for any right mind person. The right thing to do for me.

That did sound a bit thick didn’t it lol

Can I just point out that sacking Cummings will do naff all though oh some people may get some deluded jolly’s, but he’s an advisor he can be sacked one day then paid off the books making him still employed but no one will know about it and a fine to someone so loaded is laughable. I think boris threw him to the media as a punishment (boris looked p off didn’t he) now Cummings looks like a big fool and is dealing with the media’s pent up anger that’s been brewing for months now.

Starmer has right idea keep out of it, it’s making him look a reasonable sympathetic opponent
