Just had an email from Suzanne Moore. Nothing personal I am signed up to them! She is writing about how useless Twitter is about dealing with the abuse women get, this is relevant because she too has been watching DC this morning.
I quote
“I am just watching Dominic Cummings give evidence.
When working for Gove , Cummings used to send me abuse on Twitter alongside his sidekick Henry de Zoete because I was critical of Grove’s education policies. This ended up with their mate James Delingpole tweeting rape threats to me .
I complained to a lawyer and that twat wrote a grovelling apology which I have somewhere. Just like Dom I too keep records.”
When Cummings looks soulful and says he doesn’t understand how this country ends up having to choose between Johnson and Corbyn he conveniently forgets that spiteful scratch my back chum opportunists like him depend on people like Johnson and Corbyn for their bread and butter and that moreover he only rose to great heights because he was, at the time, prepared to pick up Johnson’s shit with his bare hands.
I hope lots of people have kept records, proper records, not just Cummings recollections of “conversations” and vague memories of messages he might or might not be able to remember, or find, or be prepared to allow to be retrieved from his private phone .
