New thread inspired by Whitty and Valance exiting stage right today

Victoria Derbyshire has been making good points via Twitter too.

Ah!! Of course. I didn't see he was that special, maybe I need a 60 mile drive to test my eyesight.

I may also add he's special and really good at assessing risk (oh and parenting) so can therefore live above the laws of the land.

I liked your long post above Schrodingers and yes to 'I feel dirty somehow, like I've played into a narcissist's game....'
My instincts were crying out he's lying/gaslighting.

Its the biggest case of gaslighting ive ever seen in my life.

I haven’t seen the conference yet due to bedtime has something happened to Chris Whitty?? I really liked him!

@AnyFucker I want Emily Maitlis to grill Cummings for an hour like she did with Prince Andrew.

#SackBorisandDom now trending.

And definitely agree with being a pawn in a narcissists game. Everything from how he was sitting instead of standing (a mix of look how frail I am, I really was ill you know and the subconscious level of royalty sits while peasants stand) and the faux fumbling, stumbling over words.

...was designed to manipulate the audience.

Yes. Where is Emily these unprecedented days ?

Totally agree Aloha

And his wife can drive

For a supposedly superclever man, Cummings must have had to try really, really hard to appear that stupid.

Was there any reasonable or plausible explanation given for why things didn't kick off at 4 as publicised? I may have missed it in all of the bullshit.

And his wife can drive

That means there is absolutely no justification for the trip to Barnard Castle in order to test his eyesight

No

Was there any reasonable or plausible explanation given for why things didn't kick off at 4 as publicised?

No. However, the update from Durham police moments before DC made his statement was very suspicious.

I turned the TV off after 10 minutes as it was obvious the man was lying. I too feel like I have been taken for a fool. I cannot be bothered to watch Doris now either, They have lost all confidence in the public eye
. It will not end well.

Just seen Xenia on the "shops to open on 15th June" thread insisting the biggest risk taker was Ferguson

Have Mr Whitty and Mr Valance actually said anything at all ?

It is even worse when you read the transcript of his eyesight testing trip

Note that David Allen Green is pretty convinced that DC’s statement was written in the style of a witness statement and by a lawyer, all carefully done to retrofit the info that has come out.

The public health message is so much weaker now. That is an absolute tragedy.

I thought we’d see Valance and Whitty. Normally they flank Doris but not tonight. Its left me feeling very confused.

Perhaps they refused to lie
