Sod the petition
it will be ignored
email your MP

Another theory I read, although just from a random, not an expert, was that BJ and co deliberately acted slowly on covid because it will cover up the damage of Brexit. I struggled to believe anyone could be that callous though.

I just wondered about his job title because I can't work out if he is a Government advisor or a political advisor to the PM, so one you would expect to have a certain level of knowledge to be in a position to give relevant advice. The other is simply a spin doctor by another name surely ?

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 19:44

I've written to my M P.
His very busy apparently!
Re the Kinnocks. Steve K may not have broken rules but it's brought up along with the MP who went to the funeral with 100 other people. These things come up so Keir Starmer has to be careful with his words.
It becomes tit for tat as the pressure mounts.
I don't agree with bullying Dominic or other silly antics but to be annoyed is fair enough and to be endorsed by your boss is a scandal. Dc is paid by the taxpayer. We have a right to know what is going on here.

This made me proper lol!!! 😂😂😂

Pippa Crerar: EXCLUSIVE: Dominic Cummings reported to Durham Police over breaking lockdown rules.

This will be interesting.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 19:52

The briefings took a dip for a while ; the ratings are suddenly good again!
Mind you, there's nothing else on worth watching lately

KenDodd · 24/05/2020 19:54

My husband just told me that Julia Hartley-Brewer is incandescent about this and ranting away online. My reply: Oh yes, ask her if there was an election tomorrow who she'd vote for? I bet money it would be Tory.

TopperSail · 24/05/2020 19:56

Thank goodness for you lot posting, I'd be spluttering over my evening coffee and gingernuts, muttering fiercely to myself if I didn't have this outletGrin

ParkheadParadise · 24/05/2020 19:58

My sympathies are with the thousands of families who didn't get to be with their loved ones when they died.
Bawbag Boris and Creepy Cummings are a pair of Fuckwits.

Walkingtohealth · 24/05/2020 19:58

He knows too much to be sacked. That much is clear.

He is too arrogant to resign.

However as Bozza says its fine then I too am going to go and see Dominic's Mum next week.

Essex to Durham and maybe a trip to Barnard Castle.

If it's okay for the big D then am assuming it is okay for me too.

I'm still not sure if the rest of us are allowed to go off to find childcare if we feel rough. Even if it's miles away.

What do your instincts say?

SouthWestmom · 24/05/2020 20:01

Also:

The disingenuous Lockdown in London article
The arrogance to journalists
The missing childcare issues guidance the ministers all know about
The failure to follow two sets of guidance, one on self isolating at home with symptoms and the other on not travelling to another location to self isolate

DC has dirt the size of elephant poo all in that note book of his. I'm convinced of it.
I haven't any evidence , I've never met him but my ' integrity' is telling me that he has Boris and others by the balls.
It's the only answer as to why he is still about. Anyone else would be gone by now surely. He was given permission to break the rules and go up to see his parents I bet.
I've no idea but it's very fishy.

SouthWestmom · 24/05/2020 20:01

Stealth my instincts say that the police if they knew would find me and return me home

Since when is it the voter's job to 'be kind' when politicians cock up?

FuckThisWind · 24/05/2020 20:02

Cummings has been reported to the police. I did tell my Dad to do that today when he checked in with Durham Constabulary. But I'm thinking of making a complaint myself (I'm on the border of the force)

KenDodd · 24/05/2020 20:02

Anyone know if there's a petition going round asking that whoever wrote the civil service tweet doesn't get the sack?

GrimmsFairytales · 24/05/2020 20:02

What do your instincts say?

Indeed. It seems we follow our instincts now, rather than the guidelines.

ListeningQuietly · 24/05/2020 20:03

KEEP emailing your MPs
your taxes pay them
they work for you
do the rules exist or not?

Experimenopause · 24/05/2020 20:04

I too am quite interested in finding what he has on BJ and others.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 20:04

I've emailed mine but no reply,
His an ERG nut! Probably thinks it's an over reaction .
