Seen running out of Downing Street
Went to self isolate with his wife in Durham with his parents when he had symptoms
Seems he had his family with him
He stayed with his wife and his parents looked after the children

And people are surprised because ... ?

Helmetbymidnight · 22/05/2020 23:08

total arsehole, entitled pricks in a shambolic govt.

PickAChew · 22/05/2020 23:11

Mentioned elsewhere, I don't do the clap but I'm tempted to play Dancing Queen to my fellow Durham residents, next Thursday.

@Onceuponatimethen

Very shocked by this

Why?

It is the utter reptile Cummings we're talking about.

Onceuponatimethen · 22/05/2020 23:13

Self preservation?
Common sense?
Everyone knows every passerby has a camera phone these days!

Helmetbymidnight · 22/05/2020 23:15

arrogance? superiority complex?

LilacTree1 · 22/05/2020 23:15

Once - Cummings knows he’s safe forever

Even if he’s sacked for optics, he’ll just turn up in another post later.

Helmetbymidnight · 22/05/2020 23:16

if he were sacked, he would take down boris...boris knows that

Sparklingbrook · 22/05/2020 23:17

Same here @Flymetothetoon.

endofthelinefinally · 22/05/2020 23:18

Boris will be panicking because he will have to find someone else to run the country.

It is weird - there are other things trending on Twitter but not Cummings.

He would have known exactly how busy the London nhs hospitals were. He fled north so he could access less busy hospitals if he needed it. What an absolute weasel.

I have a friend whose sibling died recently (non Covid). She went round to her parents house to tell them they had lost their child and did it from a 2 metre distance without holding them, because those were the rules.

Cummings shouldn't just resign, he needs to do some sort of public penance.

Egghead68 · 22/05/2020 23:22

Hmm... Why is this coming out now, many weeks after the event?

LarkDescending · 22/05/2020 23:22

Classic Dom is trending. He forgot to get that one nixed.

Helmetbymidnight · 22/05/2020 23:23

oh yeah and 'classicdom' - theres a suggestion that twitter, by arrangement or voluntarily are concerned that dominic cummings doesnt trend.

HeIenaDove · 22/05/2020 23:25

What a Grade A cunt. Fucking hypocritical reptile

Last time i saw my elderly parents was 14th March

Dads 84th birthday is tomorrow.......................

LarkDescending · 22/05/2020 23:27

Egghead68 things often come out weeks after the event. Neil Ferguson’s alleged transgressions were on 30 March and 8 April; the Telegraph broke the story on 5 May.

NoHardSell · 22/05/2020 23:27

Well I hope some of you are realising how well you have been played. It was only ever necessary for about 70% of people to comply, so jolly well done you.

BlackeyedSusan · 22/05/2020 23:28

too ill to look after how many children? but well enough to drive?
yeah right.

Helmetbymidnight · 22/05/2020 23:28

so ferguson and the scottish woman resigned- what will classic dom do?

hmm, i cant imagine.

BlackeyedSusan · 22/05/2020 23:30

that is an outrageous slur you have used there @HeIenaDove

Poor reptiles.
