to think Dominic Cummings should go/thread 3

[SophieB100]

Third thread!

Smiley - as others have said write to your MP.

I cant exactly say it will help, but it cant hurt.

I don’t get why he keeps calling it a “very complicated situation” when it wasn’t really complicated at all?

I think that Cummings took advantage of Boris being sick to get favourable business deals for him and his sister and unfettered access to OUR data.
I think Boris doesn’t really know what is going on around him and has abdicated too much power to Cummings.
Cummings is stripping the govt of its Data assets and corralling them ( probably in his parents house.
I think he was running out of no 10 with a signed contract and the data loot.

I'm sure the boy's overnight stay in hospital can be disproved quite easily

I am sure that one of the reasons we were asked to stay in our local area was so we would risk not spreading the disease to other places - for example, being ill elsewhere and going to local hospitals.

Obviously they had to take a sick child to hospital. In this case, he was taken to the one in Durham - which was the exact situation we were warned about - if you went to a different place, you risked spreading the disease in this new place eg by going to a local hospital if you were ill.

Totally agree he should go. Have written to my Labour MP twice.

Public health messaging undermined, an adviser addressing the nation from the garden at Downing Street, the lies he has told. What the actual fuck is going on???

As for Johnson he is a terrible PM and I hope he goes too soon.

People have died unnecessarily due to their handling of this pandemic (are these the many mistakes Cummings refers to?) and we are supposed to lap up their lies and incompetence 😡?

No nanny to help if both really sick Always with the nanny. Poor thing.
I wouldn't have gone to their house if I was the nanny.

It's also a bit surprising that he decided to drive to pick his wife and son up from the hospital, given he was ill with Covid 19

I thought he had people to help him in Durham. People who could have collected his wife and son. Maybe they would have refused - but they could have taken precautions. A better choice than him driving to collect them.

Why did Cabinet Office Rush through Procurement of Controversial Electoral Services Company IDOX Just Before the General Election?

Surprised to see a so called 'controversial electoral services company' with contracts all over Scotland;

"Idox delivers local elections success across Scotland."
"Idox has once again proven itself as a trusted partner to local authorities across the UK following last week’s local elections."

And Norway -

"Idox delivers Parliamentary Election success across Norway"

If he's now saying that he knew about a corona virus back in March 2019, then why did he not warn Johnson of this as soon as Johnson became PM, so that they could prepare for it?

Notwithstanding that he's eugenicist and it's only the grannies and granddads of the plebs who are going to die!

Caught up. As others have said, so many unanswered questions

Cummings wife, Mary Wakefield (the spectator) is also a disingenuous bullshitter too:

"After the uncertainty of the bug itself, we emerged from quarantine into the almost comical uncertainty of London lockdown."

There's no way that I'll be putting that app anywhere near my phone.

Which is why it's so ridiculous that Keir Starmer and others keep comparing us to South Korea when they have been tracking credit card transactions, immigration identity cards, using cctv...

'After the uncertainty of the bug' - good statement, any bug which was going round at the time, of which there were plenty of nasty ones.

Also, Cummings couldn't get a test? Didn't seem to be a problem for other MPs and senior civil servants in Number 10?

First resignation of a junior minister this morning, a Scottish conservative.

I agree larry. What the government are now trying to do is paint this as a media witch hunt. But they wouldn't start hunting unless there was prey. Eg something to catch. There was something here. A breaking of lockdown rules.
The media aren't driving this.

Conservative MPs aren't supporting it. And the British public are more intelligent than they think we are. We are able to make our own decisions. I think they've misjudged us as weak and sheep because we followed the rules. Whereas most of us were and despite the unclear messaging now will - continue to do so for the sake of our families.

I don’t get why he keeps calling it a “very complicated situation” when it wasn’t really complicated at all?

This is at the heart of it. It was only complicated because he made it so by driving to the other end of the country. And the exceptional circumstance of childcare concerns was the standard circumstance for parents during this pandemic.

One rule for them, another for us.

At least everyone knows that the man running the country takes us all for mugs, and we can all scrutinise his actions a lot more.

First resignation. I wondered when they'd start. We need someone senior to resign.

Peda that's very honest of you. And shows a much bigger integrity to your fellow Brits than the government has shown. I'm the opposite. Always been labour. But yes, Corbyn and brexit would have been a nightmare. Well Corbyn full stop! I was also a remainer. Still am. But I believe in democracy. I voted conservative and for Boris. I'm a LP, working in education with a disabled son. Hardly their typical voter! At the start of this I was glad I'd voted them. I thought they were doing well and was very impressed with Rishi and the fact they really were going for equality as much as they could.

They have totally lost my trust, confidence and any future votes now.
And I'm sure they've lost many more regular Torres and those who switch alliance at Christmas.

Well done to Douglas Ross.

Clav I don't doubt he went into hospital. I don't think even Bozo and Cummings would lie about something like that. But I do want to know why and how they tested a 4yo for covid when we've all been told tests on young children are very inaccurate and so we cannot get tests for under 5's.

@itsgettingweird How on earth does "Rishi" care for equality?

sommerville totally agree
It was a complicated situation because ... it was my situation .. yours is never as complicated as mine because I’m Dominic Cummings and you are all sheep. Absolute twat.

Cummings wife, Mary Wakefield (the spectator) is also a disingenuous bullshitter too:

She has come across that way - but then again, Labour's Shadow Cabinet Minister Rachael Maskell let everyone believe she was self-isolating on her own in London after her meeting with Nadine Dorries. She then revealed (on Newscast) that in fact her sister was living in the flat with her, sharing the same bathroom and leaving meals outside her room - the look of surprise on the faces of Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason when she revealed the full details was very noticeable. Rachel Maskell's public self-isolation came across as a publicity stunt.

I may have missed this - have you defended the 60 mile round trip to Barnard Castle to see if he could drive safely?
