I think Mumsnet should ban posts that accuse posters of being bots. It is absolutely pathetic.

What has happened to the left wing media’s claim of a second trip?

If he had apologised I could have respected him he hasnt he has attempted to justify it claiming he is a victim of harassment 🙄 I'm fucking harassed I've not had a pee in peace for bloody months could I piss off to the countryside? At the time no 😷

Bots? What are bots? People that don't agree with the majority? Or something else?

ITonyah · 25/05/2020 22:53

There are posters here who seem to genuinely believe that people who don't agree with them must be in the pay of the Russian government.

Helocariad · 25/05/2020 22:54

My main question is, what does DC know about BJ & co that makes him so indispensable to me 10...?

Helocariad · 25/05/2020 22:54

Nr 10, not me 10!

No there aren’t. The are posters who point out that some posts might as well come from Tory HQ.

ITonyah · 25/05/2020 22:58

Erm, there are alsohuman, there have been many threads started about it.

Alsohuman · 25/05/2020 23:56

I seem to have missed them. How odd.

Barnard Castle got a lot of Trip Advisor comments, which have been taken down.

Thankfully, The Poke caught them

FoodologistGirl · 26/05/2020 18:19

Has anyone mentioned that his wife drives too? Surely if he wasn’t sure if his eyesight was ok she could have driven them back to London Instead of having A little trip to see the castle. She had a mild dose by her own admission Anyway. Maybe as it was her birthday she didn’t want to drive on her special day !

ThistleTits · 26/05/2020 18:20

If you were on jury duty and he was in the witness box, providing his lies/defence, would you not have a doubt he was telling the truth?

Lincolnfield · 26/05/2020 18:26

So he’s driving around - even if was only a couple of miles, never mind thirty- when he doesn’t think he can see properly? Highly responsible! I don’t even drive when I have a migraine because it affects my vision. What if he’d hit a pedestrian or slammed into another vehicle while he ‘tested his eyesight’? Selfish, arrogant twat.

His kid was crapping in the woods. if he had the virus that’s just great for any poor sod who got his kid’s crap on their shoes or clothes.

His wife can drive. They have family living in London - her brother for example. So his essential drive to Durham is bollocks.

My son is a barrister and he said today, the best liars fess up to what is indisputable (his jolly to Barnard Castle) and gloss over or categorically deny everything else. This creature - I can’t bring myself to call him a man - is a consummate liar. Face it, that’s what he does for a living.

My niece is a nurse in Edinburgh currently Isolating with the virus and she is very unwell.. She lives alone. We can’t help her. We’ve set up CCTV via the Internet connected to my phone in case she collapses while she’s in her flat on her own. If she doesn’t appear in her living room by mid morning any day and doesn’t answer her phone then I’ll be calling for an ambulance for her. The stress is immense- BUT I still can’t go to her.

I’m a theatre sister in Yorkshire and I’m exhausted. We had to convert our recovery suite for Covid patients. We currently have forty seriously sick people. My neighbour is also a nurse and she has a one year old son who she has to leave every day while she works her shifts. Her husband is a paramedic so they have to work their shifts so they can care for their little boy - so FUCK YOU Dominic Cummings you are a low life weasly toad.

dustyparadeground · 26/05/2020 18:36

Thank you and your family for what you have been doing. On behalf of Dominic I would like to apologise for the serious mistakes the Cummings Family have made

thea543 · 26/05/2020 18:52

What I cant understand is why his wife didn't drive back as she was obviously not as sick as he was. Why did nobody ask that question?

Pluckedpencil · 26/05/2020 18:52

I don't think he is evil, he is just arrogant and used to having his own way and being able to treat everyone else as beneath him. He is undoubtedly an intelligent guy, an innovative guy even (that London bus was genius if deceptive), but that doesn't mean you are above the law, even if you yourself help to decide what that law is. The expression "a law unto himself" is just so apt!! I think when you are in power you perhaps forget just how tightly you need to walk the line. If I had done that, there would have been zero consequences, but it's rather more obvious when you are under roughly the same scrutiny as the queen right now. I thoroughly enjoyed watching three consecutive women ask the same question to Boris Johnson and watching him blather on. Sorry is such a simple word, but as they say, admission is guilt.

shadypines · 26/05/2020 19:17

Next time I need my eyes testing I'll take the attitude that Snellen charts are for wimps and whizz down the M6 perhaps? Talk about crazy, make sure your eyes are ok before you drive fgs! And this guy is advising the government!!

Also, as I've said in another post, no one admits to doing anything wrong anymore, it's always 'an error of judgement'. My arse.

Alsohuman · 26/05/2020 19:25

Be fair. It was only a wee.

ProfessionalWeirdo · 26/05/2020 20:04

Whatever [Cummings] has on Boris must be throw-away-the-key serious...
What does DC know about BJ & co that makes him so indispensable to No 10...?

I've often wondered about that. DC obviously has some kind of hold over BJ. That's the only possible explanation why he's kept his job, whilst others have had to resign over lockdown breaches which were, by comparison, far less serious.

I locked my dog in the house then set it on fire to see if the fire-alarm was working.I didn't do anything wrong but it was one hell of a hot dog...
