I'm not so sure he'll be sacked. I'm so cynical that I think Johnson will announce an "investigation"

I also don't think he will be sacked.

ListenLinda · 24/05/2020 16:12

Shocked to hear Boris is doing the briefing. I expect... keep on, now is not the time to let up on the hard work, sacrifice, bla bla bla.
It’s my sisters birthday on Tuesday, think i’ll pop in and see her. She doesn’t live 270 miles away though.

PaneerOfEvil · 24/05/2020 16:13

I hope Matt Lucas is primed and ready again.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 16:15

What vegetable says "do what the hell you want"? A roast parsnip maybe? A corn on the cob?

Nousernameforme · 24/05/2020 16:15

Nah it will be because it is a Sunday he is doing the briefing. He did last Sundays one as well he can only be arsed once a week. I doubt he will even mention DC unless he gets a question on it. At the same time I wonder if they will have been told no questions on DC allowed

I'm not defending the reporters behaviour, but not keeping 2m apart outside is in no way comparable to driving 260 miles with a family member who had coronavirus. What happened to 'Anyone can get it, anyone can spread it'

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 16:17

Did he do last Sundays? I can't remember?
Maybe he was on nappy duty today.
Sorry darling, gotta do a briefing, mwah.

tiredvommachine · 24/05/2020 16:20

@munchbunch12 you're most welcome. I'm usually a procrastinating person by nature but the valid reminders on here from @ListeningQuietly has for once spurred me into action and having a cut and paste is so much easier! 😁

ParkheadParadise · 24/05/2020 16:20

My money is on Bawbag Boris sacking the creepy looking fucker.

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 24/05/2020 16:20

Prediction:

BJ will announce an inquiry into the Cummings Goings and Cummings Back Agains, so no more questions on this subject until the report is published in a couple of years from now.

Anyway, Trams....

Nousernameforme · 24/05/2020 16:20

Nope you are right I thought it was the one when he did the big reveal that was a couple of weeks back every day seeps into the other at the moment.
Maybe there will be a big announcement.

Roussette · 24/05/2020 16:24

Please note, this is not substantiated but it is all over Twitter from various sources

DC did five journeys between London and Durham. He was commuting back and forth.

merrymouse · 24/05/2020 16:25

Due to this government's incompetence we locked down too late and still don't have either the case levels or the track and trace system that would let us lift lockdown safely.

Agree.

Regardless of what is going on with Cummings, Johnson should be answering questions on track and trace and the report in the Sunday Times today about the effect of the delay.

kissmewherethesundontshine · 24/05/2020 16:25

I wonder if Boris doesn't sack Cummings, if proof will then be released? Surely he's worried about that?!

SouthWestmom · 24/05/2020 16:26

I reckon suspended while inquiry goes on. He returns to Durham and the outcome has been decided over today.

Oh Boris is doing the briefing. Amazing. Is he about to step up and do the right thing?

MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing · 24/05/2020 16:29

I'm grateful to the interweb:

Well I would drive five hundred miles
And I would drive five hundred more
Just to be the man who brings the Covid-19
Right down at your door

OublietteBravo · 24/05/2020 16:31

Do you think DC has given Boris permission to sack him?

SophocIestheFox · 24/05/2020 16:31

I’m not at all sure Johnson will sack Corona Dom.

Their contempt for people of this country knows no bounds.

jumpingwithjoy · 24/05/2020 16:33

I'm not defending the reporters behaviour, but not keeping 2m apart outside is in no way comparable to driving 260 miles with a family member who had coronavirus. @GrimmsFairytales

Really? A family from the same household, drove 260 miles to another household and stayed there is comparable to a mass gathering of journalists?!!!
These journalists were representing multiple different households all standing shoulder to shoulder. These journalists have also travelled to and from that destination - I very much doubt they live there! How? Public transport? Taxi? Did they need the toilet? Did they use a shop?
They have now potentially infected multitudes of more unsuspecting people!

Roussette · 24/05/2020 16:35

I am just not sure that BoJo has the balls to do the press briefing and take the inevitable questions on DC.
For that reasons, I do wonder if he is announcing a resignation.

EmMac7 · 24/05/2020 16:42

I don’t think there’ll be a sacking. Maybe an announcement of a bullshit inquiry, to establish DC’s “innocence”.

Roussette · 24/05/2020 16:44

Worms!

GrimmsFairytales · 24/05/2020 16:45

I don't think it's comparable, if you do then I respect that view.
