Let's (Truth) Twist Again (3)

[SouthWestmom]

Thread three for following the uproar at playing down the lock down and rewriting the rules.

“I was told to find a friendly face......Laura...”

No regrets???
Reasonable???

His kid needed the loo on a short trip, but not on a 4 hour motorway drive? This is a proper Prince Andrew moment.

Dominic Cummings: I will ask people in the order of a list I have been given.

Not stated: a list which I wrote.

I thought the story was bollocks but I thought he came across well. I've never heard him speak before other than to be curt with the press.

I don't agree with what he did. I think his wife wrote a load of utter bullshit. But I actually think he came across as more competent and credible than Boris Johnson and most of his Cabinet.

I'm inclined to forgive and move on.

Jackanory

So no specialist childcare.

It's because he's the victim.

I don't at all think he broke guidance by visiting local attraction because he was already there and out of isolation period.

But he didn't stay at home.

He’s borrowed that shirt from Boris hasn’t he.

I hope that people will understand... what that the rules didn't apply to you.

I have to admire the well written speech. He's managed to include all the accusations and weave a wonderful story to justify it all.

What is Laura doing? Feeding him lines?

The wobbly voice isn't convincing me at all

Not conplicated
Two sick pare ts
One small child

Like families UP AND DOWN THE SODDING LAND

So the jokes about “if you need to drive 260 miles to find someone who will help you it might mean you’re a bit of a cunt” aren’t so far off the mark, are they.

Conveniently neither he or Boris remember the conversation.

Robert. We can all take a loo break.

Ah, you're only angry because it was reported in the media. If you had only known he had to drive to BC to test his eyesight. I need to go to the Cotswolds to test my legs.

Laura Keunsberg let him off the hook.

He's not taking the opportunities she's offering him to show any contrition at all

He's loving the grandeur of addressing the world's press in the Number 10 Rose Garden and keeping them all waiting for 30 minutes.

He's a jumped-up, unelected, Spad. FFS.

And he's not sorry. Won't say sorry. Won't admit he did anything wrong. Shit.

Total Jackanory sob story.

"I believed I had a small child exemption".

Fuck that.

Had he said all that three weeks ago, and had he not gone to the Castle place I might understand.

As it is, he broke the law, he flouted the rules, the only thing he is sorry is that someone saw him.

Since when he is more of a PM deputy than the actual cabinet office???

Oh no, not Peston. He takes too much time talking because he loves the sound of his own voice.

I want someone to ask about the Spectator article.

Fucks sake, Peston now.
