But you have to understand, GGumteenth, that Ug views Johnson as a godlike figure who has nothing at all to do with the previous 10 years of tory 'government'. He's a caped crusader, flown in to right all the wrongs of his predecessors. So she doesn't think that any tory policy pre 2019 is anything to do with him.

I'm not 'exactly' sure why he didn't display all this concern for the common people and public services before last year, but, there you go..

I know I shouldn't be but I am shocked to find that the cottage is actually a second home. I gave the b****** the benefit of the doubt. No wonder the Cons brushed aside the suggestion of equalising all those people who travelled for child care needs.

Grandad, As you know I am not a fan ,but for the record I have complained on another thread about the disgraceful way journalists behaved outside J.C house, presumably hoping for 'that' photo, or 'that ' utterance which might make a detrimental headline. I think there is a doctored photo of him with another person at Romney Marsh, but I could be wrong, it could have been another time, but the implication was recently!! It's a disgraceful way to behave whoever the victim is. Just horrible!

Where have all the bigots gone? I find them here on GN being very rude to posters they don’t agree with.

Which bigots?
There are very many different opinions on here; that doesn't make people bigots.

I think you will find that whenever there are two entrenched camps each side feels like that about the other. I'm not sure I would call that bigotry though. You don't really need another person to be a bigot, do you?

I think the differences of opinion have been expressed without nastiness, particularly considering the subject matter.

Nothing wrong with healthy debate.

Sorry! Had to laugh at the thought of Cummings being just the man to sort anything out. He's a nihilist, who believes in destroying the status quo, but he's no genius and hasn't ever created anything positive. He even had to edit his blog retrospectively to make it appear he's capable of forward thinking.

It keeps piling up doesn’t it? Report in the Guardian

Government lawyers have tried and failed to remove the name of Dominic Cummings from a sex discrimination claim being pursued by Sajid Javid’s former special adviser

The excuse that DC gave concerning child care was misleading. When the govt enacted the emergency legislation back in March there were clauses relating to vulnerable children. Unfortunately it was hastily drafted and did not go through the usual processes.

The legislation was intended for children suffering from abuse which would likely intensify because of the lockdown. The legislation did not relate to children who might be at risk from covid 19. The cabinet knew this and even made excuses for DC. Apparently there has been a worldwide increase in child abuse, particularly online.

WW2 I assume that you are referring to Sonia Khan. She has the backing of her union which means that she won't have to pay legal costs. The naming of DC means that, should she win, he will be liable for some of the costs. The case should take place in December.
