Sky News - Cummings to make a rare statement...

[MunchMunch]

And answer questions today. I wonder if he's doing the briefing today with Bozo?!

I wonder how this will go?!

I can't believe he admitted to driving with eyesight problems, that is as bad as breaking lockdown rules.

the general public on the whole wont want to kick him whilst hes down

This member of the public would be quite happy to. Man's wife has symptoms which might be CV - worried about her and child while he's at work. Why would he be at work? What about 14 day isolation? And don't tell me he's too important for that - our entire fucking parliament is working remotely. Then it suddenly changes and he doesn't want his family home alone because his home is a 'target' and they'll be safer out of London. Nothing to do with the virus then? So why not just send them somewhere 'safe'.

I'm not going to be surprised at the number of people who will fall for this. It really is 100% true that a society gets the government it deserves!

“She felt unable to look after him” erm, I know this is radical, but you could have looked after him.

Also, your brother lives two streets away from you in London.

Who on earth thought it was advisable for him to do this?

I'm assuming the answer is DC himself as he appears to answer to nobody else.

Are we getting an actual briefing

Shy academic? Are you taking the piss.

"I thought i was going blind so I drove to a castle to test that theory out".

My kids could do a better job of explaining away stuff when they were in the wrong

His child is autistic I believe, I’m very glad he hasn’t mentioned it

An introvert would be a trembling wreck if the worlds media was descending on them. It's an act that wins over the gullible. A hugely successful tactic for the last 4 years.

@S0phisticatedSal shy academic.... please tell me you are joking

They have been appalling. Stirring up fear, creating anxiety, cherry picking stories that suit their narrative

These are exactly the kind of tactics Dominic Cummings used on social media to divide the country and win the Brexit vote. Perhaps now he might appreciate how shit it is.

• What he did was bad (and weird him and his wife misleading ppl as to where they were...) especially as he was helping with policy and had corona and had options for childcare in London and this stupid breach repeatedly.

*I could actually forgive the initial act but the castle trip, walk etc is BS. Letting the 17 yo risk her life, ok. 👍🏼

Then it’s so much worse when the Gov and cabinet cover for him. Who had a backbone?! Half my family voted for the tories and are now wondering who is an actual MP with any idea of how to govern, if this muppet has so much sway

It's the cover up & the doubling down that is so offensive

So what would you have done if you had no childcare and had such a crucial job?Nobody would rock up to a friend’s CV house to help out would they.

Lying is much simpler and leads to less confusion.

Yeah loads of shy academics stand in front of the media while loading up their car saying "i dont really care what you think"

Its well known to be the shy academics rite of passage.

He did what he thought was best for his family and everyone else should do what's best for their family. People threatening to visit their families because of what Dominica Cummings did is just daft because it will be your fault if they contract covid and die. It wont be Dominic Cummings fault. You do you.

Ok not shy but clearly not a confident public speaker.

Chris Witty is a shy introverted academic

They are not excluded from the media!!

So what should they have done?

They could just toughen the fuck up and follow the rules?

Nobody would rock up to a friend’s CV house to help out would they

Of course they do and they have.

What are you talking about smile?

Yeah loads of shy academics stand in front of the media while loading up their car saying "i dont really care what you think"

That’s disagreeableness, a totally separate facet of personality to introversion
