"Downing St. considers the Dominic Cummings matter closed". AIBU that that statement, more than the actions of Cummings himself, makes my blood boil?

[JovialNickname]

I'm assuming the "so you can all fuck off" at the end of the statement is implied.

[LexMitior]

Everyone sees it! The only people I know who are still defending Johnson’s handling of it are Boris loyalists.

Lots of Conservatives seem to be very angry about it: Cummings isn’t anything to do with their party really.

[HeIenaDove]

It is possible to care about both the Cummings debacle and whats happening re. care homes Ive posted on the care home threads and am horrified.

To those bringing up "what about care homes" on the Cummings threads though................dont forget the AS function!!!!!!!!!!!!


An AS search on my name shows i HAVE actually posted on the care home threads and am not using it as whataboutery.

HeIenaDove though is now spelt with an uppercase i in the Helena due to MN having yet another problem a while back.

The Change.org petition now has over a million signatures and is still going strong, this is not just going to go away because Boris wants it to.

You’re going to be heartbroken when you find out what happened with the most popular petitions ever, that got 2, 4, and 6 million signatures respectively...

[TheWordWomanIsTaken]

Oh Cendrillon
Give it the fuck up
You are so boring and predictable with your pathetic goady, trolly, winky faces.
You add nothing to these threads - I get you disagree with what posters are saying, but you seem to be here simply to antagonise. There is no debate at all, just we beat you ha ha ha!
Surely your shift is over soon, or do you need the overtime?

[Humphriescushion]

Sackboris is still trending on twitter! Poor boris.

[Humphriescushion]

Sorry it is #borismustgo.

I’m sorry, I forgot this was your private echo chamber ... oh wait, it isn’t! If one side is allowed to make their own tedious, partisan, repetitive points all day long, then guess what, others are allowed to chime in with their opinion too. And why exactly would MN provide this charming array of emojis if we’re not supposed to use them?

[TabbyMumz]

I agree heartsonacake. Thankfully today there was little mention of it in the Government briefing. I think the press have behaved in a disgusting manner.

But you don't give any opinion.
Your posts just ooze goadiness and antagonism.
It's pretty childish and boring and adds nothing.

[MarshaBradyo]

Agree op.

[sleepingpup]

hey coeeee👋 @CendrillonSings

This is hilarious. I've asked you on 2 or 3 threads,

Do you believe that DC drove the car 60 miles for an eyesight test?

Simple question.

Your bouncing around with unbridled joy that Boris et al can pull off this shameful heist but you won't answer this simple question.

[madroid]

The thing this government has forgotten is that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Their salaries are paid by us. We have a right to hold them to account.

We have a right to scrutinise their activities and make them answerable for them.

It is not for Johnson to tell us to move on. Or to put his whining sidekick into the hotspot. HE is answerable. Cummings is a glorified civil servant and should never have been given that platform to speak to the nation.

It is for us to hold our elected representatives to account when, and for as long as we wish. WE are ultimately in charge, not our representatives.

[CaraDune]

The extreme Cummings defenders here and on the Telegraph's site (both some- though not all - of their journos and most of the BTL commenters) make me think of the Momentum bots that destroyed the Labour party. (I say that as a moderate Labour party member who left in disgust).

"Opinion polls, what opinion poles (claps telescope to blind eye), I see no opinion polls. What do you mean, people hate hypocrisy, and the people in the 'red wall' whose votes are on loan to us in particular hate anything that smacks of 'one rule for the rich and powerful, another for the rest of you plebs.' La la la la la, can't hear you..."

Seriously, this shit is going to really come back to bite the Tory party hard, and if you can't see that, you are remarkably dim and completely lacking in any political nous whatsoever.

[CendrillonSings]

But you don't give any opinion.

My opinion is that the matter is closed and the OP is being ridiculous.

Happy now?

[Alsohuman]

You don’t have opinions Cendrillon, just blind loyalty and sound bites - oh and those stupid, irritating little faces. I really respect people who actually think about what they believe but the sheep are just contemptible. They don’t come more ovine than you.

[TheWordWomanIsTaken]

Well you clearly don't think that the matter is closed or you wouldn't be here trying to close down the matter would you?🤦🏻‍♀️

[sleepingpup]

@CendrillonSings

you're not answering the question then ?

It is hard granted.

[sleepingpup]

TBh no Government supporter can answer the question

"Do you think DC took. 30 mile drive to test his eyesight? "

without looking a dick either way.

That's why you won't answer isn't @CendrillonSings

Mind you , you've managed quite well on your own.

[CendrillonSings]

Oh, Alsohuman, your turns of phrase are as poetic as your political predictions are inept

YABU
There is something very 1984 dystopian when a government bureaucrat can:
-in the course of his job cause the death of thousands of disabled people (PIP scandal), and the homelessness of thousands more (Universal Credit Rollout Scandal) and be promoted. All without a whimper from the good bourgeoisie citizens and media of the U.K.

-but because of technically legal but questionable actions in his private life that harmed no one at all, there is a baying bourgeoisie mob demanding he resign or be sacked.

So, we have a World here where you can be the worst possible person for a job, even causing death and misery to the people your agency is supposed to support and not only keep your job, but get promoted. You’re untouchable unless you step slightly out of line of etiquette in your private life. Should not your job performance decide if you keep a job, not your private life?

You all turned a blind eye when he so badly performed his job, he was killing people. Why? Because it was just the poor and disabled, no impact to you. Now he makes a few stupid decisions in his private life that harmed no one at all, but all of a sudden its drama llama outcries of “democracy has been overthrown” and “the death of democracy” and “we’ve been hurt, lied to, gaslighted, etc”.

What this is really about, and a few have hinted at it, is you don’t like being viewed as one of the “plebs”. It was all ok when DC was killing and making homeless the real plebs, but now that your safe bourgeoisie world has been affected by the implied insult of his private actions, you’re going into frenzies of outrage.

It’s disgusting that you care more about your perceived status and being treated as a pleb than the actual lives of the plebs that DC killed.

Lots of us cared and still do. Cast your mind back to /OctoberNovember/December 2019. Every time anyone mentioned the hideous things that the Conservatives were doing, we were told that the opposition were evil incarnate.
This is not the first or worst thing Johnson has done, but when so many of us are cognisant of the sacrifices millions of people have made, it stings that he doesn't recognise this, instead has chosen to favour one man above all. A man who learned from the best about propogandism and destabilisation.

[CendrillonSings]

Well you clearly don't think that the matter is closed or you wouldn't be here trying to close down the matter would you?

The fact that some people might stand outside a bricked-up door moaning about it being closed doesn’t make it any less closed, does it?

[Alsohuman]

I rest my case. You have nothing to offer whatsoever apart from rudeness.

[Alsohuman]

This is nice too.
