I wish Dominic would go. (In the resignation sense).

insancerre · 27/03/2020 17:06

That benny hill music!

LittleRootie · 27/03/2020 17:06

Well we know what the headlines will say when he does finally go Thought he was supposed to be going ages ago, useless bastard Hmm

chomalungma · 27/03/2020 17:18

This clip will be played again and again.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 27/03/2020 17:23

He was legging it up the road like a Scooby Doo villain!

Would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't have been for those meddling photographers

Triglesoffy · 27/03/2020 17:30

Crying 😂fiddles!

That Benny Hill music clip is hilarious! It's given me the best laugh after a boring day staying indoors.

One just needs to imagine a bevy of bikini clad beauties chasing after him.

PerkingFaintly · 27/03/2020 19:03

Isn't Cummings one of those people who runs everywhere?

Not when the journalists are in front of him, rather than behind, no.

No 10 in an actual crisis, though? He's down that street like shit off a shovel. Bulky bag or no! Grin

GinandGingerBeer · 27/03/2020 19:16

Brilliant. Loving the benny hill version. Grin

Devlesko · 27/03/2020 19:21

He's not on his own, they're all jumping ship.
Unless of course you believe everything you're told.
just as the steep climb is happening, such a coincidence.
I'm sure they'll soon have a speedy recovery.

Frownette · 27/03/2020 19:23

Is he running from journalists or COVID-19?!

itsgettingweird · 27/03/2020 19:30

The Benny hill version was hilarious.

I'm also guilty at laughing at the falling over. But then again I laugh when anyone falls over, it's a fault of mine.

I laugh even harder though if it's me!

PerkingFaintly · 28/03/2020 12:28

Oh oh, the Benny Hill one leads to a Pinky and the Brain version.Grin

This clip going to take a looooong time to get old for me.

His resignation or sacking would be the best thing Mr Johnson could do other than his own resignation.

HighNetGirth · 28/03/2020 21:25

Am I the only person who wonders if the PM is pretending to have the virus to explain away Carrie Symonds leaving Downing Street (and him) with lots of suitcases?

Triglesoffy · 29/03/2020 10:51

Why would she leave him before she was married?

Haggisfish · 29/03/2020 22:34

Is she?

Butterymuffin · 30/03/2020 01:34

I'm as happy to think the worst of Johnson and his tangled relationships as any sensible person, but I would imagine in this instance it comes down to Carrie needing to self isolate away from him now and that potentially being for some weeks. Think she'd posted a photo of her and the dog (poor Dilyn) saying 'isolation isn't so bad with this one'. I expect the dog is better company and she's probably enjoying the break. However, she's part of his public relations strategy and I doubt she's leaving for good.

DesLynamsMoustache · 30/03/2020 11:05

He couldn't outrun it Sad

GoFiguire · 30/03/2020 11:43

DC has cv. The irony.

PerkingFaintly · 30/03/2020 12:16

I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears
I hid from Him, and under running laughter.
[...]
From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.
But with unhurrying chase,
And unperturbed pace,
Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,
They beat—and a Voice beat
More instant than the Feet—
‘All things betray thee, who betrayest Me.’

Set to the Benny Hill music, obvs.Grin
