Since when is it the voter's job to 'be kind' when a politician cocks up? Or forgive them when they lie? Hmm

It is the politicians' job to work in our interests, not their own, and to tell the truth if caught out. And resign if found to be lying.

Fuck this idea that poor ickle Dom is being picked on.

If he cocks up and lies about it, he needs to go - the same as Ferguson was made to go and the Scottish Health advisor woman.

If you are responsible for setting the policy and can't keep to your own policy, you need to resign.

End of.

Get your friends to

if EVERY MP gets a couple of thousand emails
and then people get into the habit of calling their elected reps to account
it will be a good thing

Scientists are distancing themselves from Johnson's backing of Cummings

I do wonder if behind the scenes Boris told Cummings he's about to go out and make a complete twat of himself in front of those who elected him - so he better advise his arse off for the next 4 years and make the taxpayer realise you were worth their money.

lilgreen · 24/05/2020 20:20

I’d say his advice is pretty worthless as he obviously is a poor judge of public reaction.

itsgettingweird · 24/05/2020 20:21

It appeared earlier he was filmed waving a leather bound book out of his front door? Is this what people are referring too. Is this his warning to people that he'll take them down with him?

This is good

Well done Stephen Reichter. Excellent post.

@Experimenopause

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

Me too, except I can't help feeling that it will be like a re-run of working with a sales team circa 1994. Sex, drugs, drink and that armed robbery and a completely seperate murder enquiry. Happy days Smile

SabrinaThwaite · 24/05/2020 20:27

Seems likes Cummings’s neighbours aren’t very happy with him.

Frumpy,blimey!
I doubt anyone has been killed but I would guess drugs or the sex industry or something? No idea at all , as I don't hang out with anyone very interesting or dodgy and very boring.

GrimmsFairytales · 24/05/2020 20:31

Seems likes Cummings’s neighbours aren’t very happy with him.

They seriously misjudged the public reaction to the situation. Of course claims that they're all Labour activists have already started.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2020 20:33

Of course anything calling out the tory dodgy dealings are ' labour bullies ' ! I've heard a few Tory mps are unhappy and vocal about this. Are they bullies too?

SabrinaThwaite · 24/05/2020 20:34

Of course they’re all going to be labour activists, Islington is stuffed full of them, buying up all of that property just in case the Tories employ a twatbucket two doors down.

I think DC's Mum is a behaviourist. Wonder what she thinks...

Justyou · 24/05/2020 20:37

It’s just came on sky news that the man who saw him had filed a complaint to the police about him

YoureBreakingMyHeartCecilia · 24/05/2020 20:37

I’ve emailed my Tory MP, the office of the Prime (ha!) Minister and Sir Graham Brady.

Please consider doing the same!!! A torrent of emails may not do much but it’s got to be better than letting Johnson think people ‘understand’ DC’s ludicrous position and - worse - the cabinet’s mealy mouthed defence of it.

Off to work out who else to email...!

GrimmsFairytales · 24/05/2020 20:39

You'd have to be pretty certain about what you sure to go on record with the guardian, and file a complaint to the police. Those aren't the actions of someone making it up.

Randomschoolworker19 · 24/05/2020 20:40

I've emailed my MP and signed the petition.

Hopefully if the pressure keeps mounting Johnson will be forced to act.

Humphriescushion · 24/05/2020 20:42

Thanks for that link @ duncin when sage are saying its rubbish you know its bad!

ListeningQuietly · 24/05/2020 20:42

I saw a lovely quote the other day that 250 miles is probably about right for Cummings to travel find somebody who does not hate him Grin
