Undisclosed source from Downing Street says Dominic Cummings to be given a KNIGHTHOOD .

I'm spitting feathers ,What do you think?

Auntieflo Sat 06-Jun-20 18:34:56

Speechless

Toadinthehole Sat 06-Jun-20 18:34:58

WHAT!!!!?

EllanVannin Sat 06-Jun-20 18:35:56

It's got to be a joke ? Fake news ?

Sparklefizz Sat 06-Jun-20 18:41:28

It started as a joke and then silly people have retweeted it without checking their facts!!

BlueBelle Sat 06-Jun-20 18:43:43

Oh must be a joke surely not a very funny one though

paddyanne Sat 06-Jun-20 18:44:30

coming up for Lizzies Birthday list ...who knows if its true...I saw it on a political site .A site thats usually reliable .

Lilypops Sat 06-Jun-20 18:45:15

Surely not. , God bless us and save us Sir Dopey Cummings. Got to be fake news

Oopsminty Sat 06-Jun-20 18:45:33

Just some jolly japes. No truth in it whatsoever

Smileless2012 Sat 06-Jun-20 18:50:40

Well that's a reliefgrin

Whitewavemark2 Sat 06-Jun-20 18:51:33

The source was Cummings, there is no other source.

Also heard that Sir Digby Jones was suggesting that the country buys the Queen a new yacht. Must be the silly season.
Hopefully.........

My response is unrepeatable, too.

lemongrove Sat 06-Jun-20 19:19:58

Amazing what some people believe ( if they read it somewhere).

varian Sat 06-Jun-20 19:30:59

I can't imagine a Sir Dominic Cummings being able to deny he was part of the "elite"

So I'm guessing it is fake news.

varian Sat 06-Jun-20 19:32:19

However, if DC did get knighted, surely the next step would be a knighthood for his boss, "Sir" Vladimir Putin.

ladymuck Sat 06-Jun-20 20:09:09

Someone probably started the rumour to see what the reaction would be.

Lucca Sat 06-Jun-20 20:11:03

Not knighted. Benighted.

Sparklefizz Sat 06-Jun-20 20:43:39

This is FAKE NEWS!!! Paddyanne should not have begun spreading it without checking facts.

vampirequeen Sun 07-Jun-20 09:35:31

Fake but very plausible. I can understand the mistake.

Callistemon Sun 07-Jun-20 10:23:27

Not without the Queen's permission paddyanne

You may loathe the Royal Family but they come in useful sometimes and I think she has her ear to the ground more than Boris does.

At least this fake rumour will keep some people happily spitting feathers for a bit.

And just like the false "Dominic Cummings' son is autistic" it will probably be repeated as fact by some. Even Boris Johnson isn't quite that deranged.

silverlining48 Sun 07-Jun-20 13:23:44

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....but on the other hand nothing would surprise me where our PM and his cronies are concerned.

Mapleleaf Sun 07-Jun-20 22:39:33

Rubbish.

eazybee Mon 08-Jun-20 08:02:44

Paddyanne and a few others on here are never ones to let facts stand in the way of what they consider to be a a good story.
