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.
PLEASE EMAIL YOUR MP

I have signed the petition too
I have emailed my councillor also
I am absolutely furious at being constantly lied to by politicians
The public are not the uneducated fools politicians take us for
This story is not over
Not for DC and not for BJ either

@The80sweregreat My bosses face when she said 'So you are telling me you can't come to work because you are in a Police safe house ? '

But Dominics idea of dirt and what a lot of the adult populations idea of dirt is potentially different due to privilege and life experience. I am talking specifically about UK experience here, not whatever he got up to in Russia.

LQ absolutely, what an amazing human being that has no one within a 250 mile radius that would help.

I think I posted on another thread, if Cummings was on fire he would remain remarkably piss free (despite public toilets being closed).

GrimmsFairytales · 24/05/2020 20:49

We're going to need a new thread soon, tomorrow might bring some interesting updates.

The man has his registration doesn't he? So must be sure.

The man has his registration doesn't he? So must be sure.

It's been claimed that he could have googled to find it out. Confused The fact that he's gone on record with the guardian and now filed a police report shows he's serious about what he saw.

SailingOver · 24/05/2020 20:54

More than anything, it's this that gets me and makes want to weep.

People have died alone as a result social distancing rules

But Cummings is ok to travel with Covid symptoms and spread the virus because it was his instinct to take his son to his sister's when he has extended family leaving in the same city as him. He was too ill to look after his son but not too ill to drive on the motorway Hmm.

Family days out by the castle are also nice during lockdown I hear.

We have the highest death toll in Europe.

No protective gear for key HCP, schools suposed to open with very young children who are unable to comply with social distancing rules.

Come on! Enough, enough. First Brexit, then Covid so badly managed, I fear we are being governed by the worst bunch in British history.

greenlynx · 24/05/2020 20:55

I don’t really care one way or another about Cummings. He’s an arrogant, privileged sod and there’s been no shortage of those zipping up and down the country during lockdown because they don’t see why they shouldn’t. I do care that the Prime Minister of my country just pissed on my head and told me it was fucking raining. I won’t forget that.
This^

Thanks @Saucery
It’s spot on!

How long before the retired teacher who clicked Dummings in Barney gets accused of being a labour activist?

The Russia connection thing has passed me by a bit and I'm so angry I cba to look it up really. His is shadowy and dodgy as anything I'm sure.
Oddly enough going to see your boss in yesterday's tatty clothes wound me up more than anything else : so disrespectful even if it was Boris!
It sent the message ' I'm going nowhere'
The arrogance : even Trump wears a tie!

MagicalThinking · 24/05/2020 21:11

We all know Dominic Cummings didn't go and stay with his family because he was too ill to look after his child but because he's the kind of man who is too busy and important to look after his child if his wife is unwell. Bet he's never had to before.

@stopcock why were they not allowed at his funeral I thought small numbers have always been allowed at funerals

stopcock · 24/05/2020 21:23

One (or two, not 100% certain) was displaying symptoms so the whole family had to self-isolate.

StealthPolarBear · 24/05/2020 21:23

I can't see the original comment that question relates to, but if it's what I think it is, it's because they had symptoms
