Dominic Cummings

If you haven’t seen this it’s worth a listen.

Wwm I tried to follow your Trust suggestion but couldn’t find the article. However it did lead me to Byelinetimes.com.
I have to admit to not understanding the science, but could definitely understand why Dominic Cummings will not resign voluntarily.

I'm shielding and this will probably go on for - who knows??? We have followed the guidelines to the book to keep ourselves and everyone else safe. We have postponed our wedding and missed other events such as birthdays etc. How dare this man just openly do as he likes and equally how dare Boris defend his actions. One rule for them and another rule for everyone else - very much a case of "do as I say not as I do". Shameful behaviour from the pair of them

This is the petition to sign if you think Dominic Cummings should be sacked.

Ellanvanin there's were several protests the other week against lockdown the biggest was in Hyde Park, London.

Piers Corbyn (Jeremy Corbyns brother) was arrested at the London one, apparently according to him there is no virus its all a conspiracy theory to do with Huawei (sp?) G5 masts.

Read the article on the Trust the government thread, it will make your hair stand on end

Has anyone read paddyanne s thread entitled Barnard Castle
Was he shielding his son ??? 50 Million $ Question

Sparkling I agree with nearly all of what you say regarding Cummings but not about liking Boris.
I would like to respect Boris Johnson and what he stands for, not particularly to like him.
I feel he appears comedic to other countries and not a good figurehead. He is bumbling his way through this crisis, only addressing the nation about once a week and then spouting some very amateur lines about “following your instincts” which is open to many varying interpretations.
Not good enough for me.

Several cars outside our neighbour’s house tonight as obviously people think lockdown is all over . They have not put a foot wrong since lockdown was imposed but seem to have had enough. And so it begins.

I like Boris, mistakes gave been made as they would with anyone hNdling thus crisis which is World wide. I am sick of the gruelling questions, political so that many times I font wAtch the bulletins now. I feel Boris loyalty to this man is wrong and misplaced. I have kept absolutely to social distancing, not broken any rules, but I understand the circumstances that led to Doms position. That man is irritatingly awful, he's got test miserable sour expression , the same one every time he is caught on camera, he looks like an old member of a pop group on the run. He doesn't care the pressure he has put on the government, just his own skin. Boris should have sacked him straight away it was a bad move supporting him, although I understand why Dom did it, he knew it was wrong he could have the decency to take responsibility. What a toad, I hope he's fired.

If so then his ‘bodyguards’ will know the ins and outs of this.

security???

Do you mean we pay for security for this person and his family?


Surely not?

As I can apparently have my butler, or my nanny or my cleaner come into my house then my instinct is that sitting in the garden with my family 2m away is less hazardous than getting on a bus or visiting the supermarket.

Wibby, yes, it does really matter a great deal. Your statement about 'stupid enough to risk his own health as well as his family' is incomplete. Risking other people's health has to be included too. Possible hospital treatment with risks to staff. Maybe contamination of places they stayed, touched, stopped at or visited? So it really is our business what he did, isn't it?

Someone in the media has gone online getting protesters together from different towns/cities to demonstrate against lockdown.
I wondered how long it would be before there were protests.

I'm staying home to protect me and mine and really couldn't care less what anyone else decides to do. Lots of people are ignoring Government advice but I refuse to get upset by it. I have no control over what anyone else chooses to do but I can control how I react to it. So if others choose to put themselves at risk it no doubt means I'll be staying home for longer then so be it at least I'll be alive.

Wibby does it really matter??

They could have spread infection - we can't know if they did or not.

Others now feel justified in abandoning being careful and doing what they want - as some on GN have already said they will do because of this.

Of course it matters.

nannytopsy?

Not all bad then * Whitewave*!

But why?
What has DC got that gives him this control?

Apparently DC’s father contacted the police to ask about security. The virus was mentioned only in passing. Not sure why the father had to enquire what to do about security - surely this would have been covered on previous visits? Or did he only visit when there was a blue moon? Anyone believe this?

I don’t think Boris nailed his colours to Cummings mast, I think Cummings had caged him and bolted the cage to the mast already.

Johnson is in real danger nailing his colours so firmly to Cumming’s mast.

Cummings could take Johnson with him when he finally goes.

Does it really matter?

Too bloody right it does!

One member of the government described Mr Johnson’s press conference as “an utter shambles that will do little to settle the febrile mood among MPs and the public.”

The prime minister’s statement was criticised in a post on the official Twitter account of the UK Civil Service. An anonymous mandarin wrote “arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?” The tweet was deleted after 10 minutes.

Mike Barton, the former chief constable of Durham Police, said it was clear Mr Cummings had broken the rules and added he could not think of a “worse example of a breach of the lockdown rules”.

Much more on the the thread “will he resign”. On this subject.
