Dominic Cummings

Our so-called democracy is a sham democracy. A government elected by a minority of the electorate can exercise absolute rule for five years, and cause huge damage in the process.

Very different from the attitude yesterday.
He hasn't even got the courage to stand by what he CHOSE to do, and be up front about it.

Oh so humble and stuttering! What a farce. He should have gone to SpecSavers.

varian I think that this country is democracy.
Unless a country has proportional representation, and there are few of those which can result in stalemate on many issues.

It worked for them in 2016 and again in 2019. That is why they think the British public are fools.

They spin their fairy tales to us as if we're all gullible idiots.
I wish we Grans could play a bigger part in influencing the actions of our so-called democracy.
Incuding pros and cons for our present 'leaders.'

What a squirmfest. We were all told to stay home so we would be near the doctor we were registered with. Is it true his wife's brother lives in London?

This government, voted in by a minority of the UK voters, but with a huge majority of MPs, can do what they bloody well like for the next four years.

I wish I lived in a democratic country.

I don't think anyone cares if the public are confused, angry, or anything else.

There is a half cocked, unbelievable pile of tripe being peddled, and that's the most we're going to get.

Didn’t the wife write that the child was building polystyrene castles and feeding Daddy with Ribena?
Now we’re told he was emergency dashed to hospital.
I’m confused.
Is anyone telling the truth?

Do you think Dominic Cummings cares a fig about your relatives or anyone else?

DH cousins daughter in law diagnosed positive after a 1st negative result, she her husband and 3 kids immediately isolated, never dashed to either parents but muddled through with help from food deliveries from relatives, friends and some total strangers who read about it on fb. Thankfully although she was quite ill no hospital required and no one else in immediate family caught it either. Hey ho one rule for us lot with plenty of respect for families and rules and another for them lot

It's just made up rubbish, as far as I'm concerned, and they think people are daft enough to believe it.

That's about the only thing they got right.

There were so many holes in his exercise in self-justification.

Are we to seriously believe that this well connected couple had no friends or relations who could have helped them out in London?

He said when he returned to London he arranged child care. Why could he not have arranged child care before he left London?

Does his wife drive or not? That would have a bearing on the so-called "test drive" they did to Barnard Castle.

The Coronovirus guidance told us all to work from home if possible. His work at Downing Street seems to involve meetings and writing reports. Could he not have done that from home, either in London or Durham?

If his London home was being targeted by journalists and others, could he and his wife, both well paid p;rofessionals, not have afforded to hire some private security?

Boris would be lost without him. That's why he refuses to sack him.
Also making excuses for him.
As we know many policians have investments in big companies. (rel to paddyanne's thread.)

Special advisors should not be speaking in public on any controversial matters - it's against the government's code of conduct.

It's all quite medieval. The court with its favourites whom others are desperate to bring down.
I don't approve of this man at all but it is a political response.

He might not lie, but I suspect he will stretch the truth .

How about we listen to what he says first and the answers he gives? He will know the Police and check and track. All this has now stepped up a gear.

I don’t think he will lie!

Just wondering if he might be almost as (un)popular as Rasputin?

Making a statement later this afternoon. Who’s going to ask the questions I wonder.

Where's this 'Trust the government' thread WWmk2?

It'll just be a stream of lies, Ug. He and his wife have lied so much already that you'd have to be lacking a serious number of brain cells if you believe him now.

OTOH, he could be about to announce officially that has taken control of the country...

Well well.

Dominic Cummings is about to make a statement and answer questions - according to an on line alert from the Guardian.!

This will be very interesting.
?

It is disgusting when the majority have stayed in, not seen relatives, queued to get into supermarkets etc and this stupid twit wanders around the country!!! He should be made to stand down and this will not do Boris any favours at all!
