O/T:- Should he stay or should he go? WARNING - POLITICAL THREAD!!!!

[Elite_Pie]

Otherwise, when you just keep posting one line provocations which add nothing to the topic (in my view at least) just to stoke up a bit of aggro, you seem like a cross between a hyperactive version of Soccerman and an online Wealdstone Raider.

That's a pretty good summary of him. If you read his many posts on this type of thread, he very rarely comments on the subject in hand. Instead, it's just a tedious series of petty digs against posters he dislikes. I don't even think he understands politics, he's just decided to become right wing because me, sid and BFP are left leaning. If we continually posted about how much we hate Forest, his reply would be "well, me and my lad are going to get season tickets in the Brian Clough stand".

You're just still sore with me after the Cuban holiday crisis. I'd much prefer the Trent End.

Whatever your politcal persuasion we all have a moral compass.
Cummings obviously has no morals. No respect for opinion and the Tory government for which I voted are backing the wrong horse here.
British political history is littered with transgressors of every political leaning.
This is not a matter of politics as others have said.
Its not about legality.
Its not about his interpretation
It is about right or wrong
He's in the wrong and should walk. But he won't and will continue damaging the Govt because there is no election on the horizon.

He did it with me for a while (he kind of still does but you can tell his heart's not in it anymore) and I just ignored him and he lost interest. I would advise anyone else to do the same.

It's a pity really as I think he's occasionally very funny and clearly an intelligent person, but I find it gets lost in his trolling for aggro which is just pretty much constant across all threads now.

There's nobody left to admire in politics anymore. We're all grown men here, the majority over 40 I would have thought, why are we still looking for super daddy's to save us? Why would anybody put their trust in these people and defend them?

If any of these [uT*$ in power stumbled across you starving to death in a field, they'd squash your face into the dirt underfoot in order to stuff their fat face with the last carrot, the Murdoch press in tow ready to adopt the position of a human toilet to feast upon on their excrement. The gullible, in turn, will gobble up the media droppings and recycle it all over the internet. It's a disgusting sight.

I think you're best advised to keep on with your quizzes, UTM, for purposes of your own mental health.

I've reached the point now where I'd support the big kick-off, and I'm not talking football. I've always been opposed to violence but maybe this is the time to press the reset button.

The anti-Brexit group Led By Donkeys has just started playing videos (Boris Johnson asking people to stay at home and interviews with people who made significant sacrifices not to break the lockdown) on a giant screen outside Cummings' house.

I agree completely with the point they are making, and even agree with their position on Brexit, but this is an incredibly stupid thing to do. They will get likes on Twitter from Remain ultras, but most normal people will feel uncomfortable with it.

It's probably very annoying for people who live around there and any family he has in the house.

It turns a non-partisan question of unethical behaviour by a politician into a tribal issue.

A government advisor travelling up and down the country during a lockdown that most people have respected fully is electoral kryptonite. The Conservative party is tearing itself apart in slow motion. All they had to to was sit back and watch.

So much wrong with modern politics.

The forever face at the window, banished by dreary driller. Let it be known, for continually having a pop at my leftie mates, navy is to be ignored, his name spoketh no more. Anyone found to be in communication with navy or passing him food shall suffer a similar fate. Quick question, if utm gets over his present downer ( I know it's hard mate and I feel for you ) and sets more quizzes, am I allowed to participate
? I eagerly await not get a reply.

Don't worry Navy, I won't ignore you. In fact, I'll send you a pizza!
