DS statement on Cummings is shameful

[SouthWestmom]

Basically I am sceptical about how terrible this could be to get for all of us - the mild illness stuff has been dropped as not helpful to the general lock us all up thing.

Regardless as a law abiding person I've stuck to the rules.

Which I thought meant you had to self isolate if you had symptoms and no, you couldn't go somewhere easier. If you had kids you all stayed in together, relied on deliveries or the local council support schemes and 111 if it was bad.

So I'm sickened by the knot tying in getting Cummings off the hook.

Shapps is boring isn't he?
Has an ' urbane' voice.

It was my reply - my next post said I couldn't lose the bold

@Cam77 so why all the obvious DC haters just coming on to say he's a twat?

I don't hate him. I don't think I've been personal about him? I just find it all quite shameful.

Imagine if the British government had, during the month of February and the first half of March, put as much thought into protecting British people from this horrible virus as they had into protecting Dominic Cumming's job.

@Cam77

He’s an absolute twerp but what do you expect, he’s a Tory!

You see. Borin' 'ell

He loves bikes. You can go out on a bike with Covid or not then ? .. answer me that one.

If he was worried he’d get ill after his wife, then surely his 4 yr old could also be infected and he gladly handed them over to his elderly parents. What a knob!

Lets not let them get away with it.... Start a petition and once it has over 100,000 signatures then its up for debate in Parliament.
And then once Cummings is gone, we'll really see the true competencies of Boris's government. Where is he???

Boris is hiding in a fridge probably.

They both sound very nervous today. I think they know what's coming with media questions.

Jenny Harries was the 'expert' who said you could 'hand over' a child to family if you were self-isolating, and in extremis you could drive the child to them.

Just so transparent. Talk about what he did without calling him a typical tory (because then it's obvious you just don't like him full stop) or a twat. Whatever happened to debate? Is the journalist calling him a tory twat?

Sickening, genuinely sickening.

People have lost their loved ones, their jobs, their freedom, their peace of mind, children have lost education, MH has been damaged. Ongoing non Covid treatment has been stopped. People have gone hungry, been scared, not been able to attend family funerals.

Yet DC and his wife have both broken Govt laws, then lied on record

But on the Govt Presser today, they talk about the Beeching Cuts and a £50 bike voucher. WTAF???

I do hate him. I hate all people who promote eugenics. It's an awful ideology.

I feel sorry for their son.

As for denying that the polic e were called and spoketo them, that is not what Durham Police Force say. They spoke to him and his parents on 31 March. So not only has there been lying, but a cover up by Downing Street as well, as this was over seven weeks ago, and has only just been made known. Boris has declined to sack him in all this time.

Jenny looks shifty.
Shapps is looking up DC's briefing notes.
' what am I going to say again?'
Maybe they will let me off! I might get away with this one..

Gove was self isolating until he was seen out and then it emerged his daughter had been tested and was fine so he wasn't. Nothing is transparent with this lot.

They both sound very nervous today.

Agreed. Almost every other word from Harries is err, and there's a fair bit of stumbling over the slides.

@MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing your post will be ignored by tory haters I'm afraid. I give up.

Some of the pro-Tory posts on MN a few weeks ago have aged really badly, haven't they?

The ones which went: "The government has been perfectly clear; it's not Johnson/the Tories' fault the general public are stupid idiots."

Did Jennie Harris also say you could drive 4 hours and decamp to another part of the country?

The Tories should give me a bloody bike after all this sacrifice I've made for the nhs and kept to the rules etc.
A 50 pound voucher doesn't cut it.
It will probably bounce anyway

Cummings is no Tory. He is not and has never been a party member. He is a NeoCon anarchist who wishes to destroy the institutions of society in order to replace them all with a dog-eat-dog neodarwinian battleground.

He also has a suspicious Russian connection as bad as Lee Harvey Oswald.

Interesting that they made the point to say they don't know what the questions will be.
