Cummings and Goings (2)

New thread

[itsgettingweird]

What they are missing right now in the reporting is that government confirmed themselves he had CV symptoms a day before he travelled.
He didn't travel in case he caught it. He had it.

He didn't travel in case he caught it. He had it

Which is even worse then.

You are ill, partner is ill. You are loaded. Do you

(a) get relative who lives locally to help

(b) pay for help

(c) as a last resort get elderly parents travel and help or.....

[randomer]

Travel with a sick 4 year old, infect people in a motorway service station, infect your elderly parents, infect the peasants who dropped off your supplies, infect the peopl ein the bluebell wood, infect some more people in a service staion on the way home

a loving and caring father, trying to do the best for his child. Claiming that anyone who loves their children would have done the same

Was it Downing St who claimed this or DC himself?

[chomalungma]

I am interested to see how they talk about the police statement. I bet they say they talked to his parents. And they aren't his family apparently

[SouthWestmom]

To be fair lemons. Based on yesterday's brief mingle with the media DC doesn't give a fuck and has no interest in portraying himself as anything. It's the weird insistence from DS and the minion ministers that he is some sort of saint for breaking lockdown.

[Mammyloveswine]

This has made me so cross... I hold keir starmer goes for the jugular at pmqt

[Weepinggreenwillow]

doesn't this just show how they (politicians etc) all liev on a different planet to most the population.
A few years ago when my dc were younger we all went down with norovirus at the same time. Me, DH and 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 12 months. We spent 48 hours all in the lounge, sleeping on sofas and airbeds and in travel cots so we could look after the dc who were vomiting or having diarrhoea every hour or so as were myself and dh. At no point would we have considered driving to stay with family because a - we were too ill to drive and b - we would not have wanted to spread the virus. And this was without any lockdown or government rules.Because basiclly this is just what you do as a parent. You get on with it and you cope. Don't recall anyone calling safeguarding for my kids, who have all gone on to grow up into healthy well balanced teenagers.

[MabelMoo23]

He won’t resign, he honestly believes he’s done nothing wrong. His breathtaking arrogance is unbelievable

[minou123]

Anyone watching Andrew Marr show?

[vera99]

Tory Brexit MP Boot Boy Steve Baker - puts the boot in....

[MabelMoo23]

Steve Baker is absolutely savaging DC on Sophy Ridge on Sky at the moment

[Ultrasoft]

What's happening minou?

[Rowanapp]

If he doesn’t go soon and apologise for what he did I will have lost any respect at all for the government whatsoever. The hypocrisy and doublespeak are totally disgusting. The country can’t let him get away with this. I have emailed my MP about this.

[StealthPolarBear]

Getting on this thread, wanted to follow the other one but it was a bit big

[Roussette]

Steve Baker nailed it.

Not surprising, expect the rest of the ERG gang to pile in, they're looking to settle old scores, Cummings pissed them off.

[minou123]

Ultrasoft
What's happening minou?

At the moment it's the mirror reporter explaining the story and the hypocrisy of the government.

[minou123]

They are discussing the impact if DC was to go and the impact to BJ and brexit.

[FuckThisWind]

I'm absolutely cringing watching Grant Shapps on Sophy Ridge. Same old bullshit. Boris wont ever appear on anything if he thinks he will be questioned. So he sends the minions who take the same line every time "ooh that's not my area, sorry"
No. You're on TV representing your fucking Government. Answer the fucking question"

The party should crumble after all this. They cannot continue to bullshit and gaslight their way through everything.

[GrimmsFairytales]

I'm absolutely cringing watching Grant Shapps on Sophy Ridge

He's due on Andrew Marr shortly, I expect the same bullshit and question avoidance.

[MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing]

Hah!

"National Security."

[SouthWestmom]

I've had to switch off. They are desperate to make us shut up about it.

What is this crap about the guidance was always flexible if you had a child? I never read that anywhere.

[minou123]

Andrew Marr - Labour shadow secretary is demanding BJ do the daily briefing. He says the guidelines were very clear.
The SS says thousands of people were in the same situation as DC and did not travel to thier parents.
