Coronavirus: Barnard Castle's TripAdvisor page flooded with spoof Dominic Cummings reviews
One spoof reviewer said it was "a chance to really let my hair down and get away from work".www.google.com

Great place for an eye test. Staff weren't around for some reason but we just let ourselves in. Don't think there are any petrol stations near by though so make sure you drive in your magic car.
Jack William
So happy they're taking visitors during lockdown
Martyn Taylor
Can't recommend this town enough. Could barely see when I left home (Islington) but once here it was like I had been to Specsavers. I don't regret the trip one bit.
Harry Barrett
The ideal alternative to Specsavers. Be sure to stop here before a long journey to ensure you're eyes still work properly.
Jacob Shaw
Went here expecting an on-site opticians but was disappointed as there was nothing . Still a lovely place with a nice river nearby perfect for a picnic.
Daniel Sanders
If you want to see if your eyesight is good enough to drive, take a trip here. It's garaunteed to accurately evaluate your eyesight!
Dan Hall
Great eye testing facilities
Kyria Wild
Need an eye test? Drive here
Emily Shepherd
Great opticians!
Nathan Fitzpatrick
I've always said to my family, if you want to test your eyesight, drive to Barnard Castle!
Esther Scoburgh
worth the drive there to test out my eyesight. Thanks for the recommendation Dom.

During my allotted time for exercise I bumped in to a familiar face from the government. I was incredulous that he seemed to be breaking the very rules he had set out for us so I said to him, "You can dance, you can lie, having the drive of your life, head up North, walk the Tees, you've broken your quarantine."

Eventually found the place thanks to my sat nav, but I couldn't actually see the structure. My wife had to drive us back home to London. Only one comfort brake on the way back, and managed to shake hands with the toilet attendant.

Recently drove up there for an eye test, fantastic experience.

Very nice. Historic, picturesque and worth the trip. Really made me see things clearly...
Opened my eyes!
Got about 5mins in and gave up - someone is blaring a siren in the background which is a welcome distraction to the boring yarn Cummings in bleating on but - it’s all a bit surreal really with him sitting in the garden

Fuck you Dave!
I do hope not but there are a few on Facebook who are still running with either the
"He was looking after his child"
"It's the media hounding the Tories"
or, my favourite
"It's revenge for Brexit"
I've engaged with a couple but then thought it's just not worth it. If traveling 60 miles with your child in your car to test your eyesight isn't going to convince them then nothing will!

Elections and that yeah. Not so much for trivial bollocks any more.

Thing is he can never take that back and nor can the idiots in cabinet who have supported it. In a way him stumbling on for a bit longer as a diminished figure of ridicule may not be so bad.

He doesn't. He is damaged. Johnson is damaged. The whole government is damaged. How damaged? is the only question.

Should've driven to Barnard Castle to test his eyes then shouldn't he?

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
In one sense, he has already; he's survived.
But all the time he remains a visible part of Johnson's regime he depresses their polling.
The leadership & Westminster numbers have been falling anyway, but the forthcoming ones will show the damage he's causing by his continuing presence.

Should have thought about that when they allowed the election to go ahead. CUNTS.

They've only got four years to get over this and conceivably Cummings may have outlasted his use by then.

So this is how they are framing it on 'reasonable middle England conservative land'. I reckon now he has done just enough that he and Johnson get to fight another day, mores the pity.
The bottom line is that most of his foes want him out so that Boris Johnson can be weakened, the Conservatives damaged, the Government’s electoral chances set back and EU transition extended.
They shouldn’t succeed, but they could do. For if those poll numbers don’t move, we think that Cummings may walk. We have few illusions here about British politics. Or human nature.

Cummings made a reasonable case yesterday, and his critics should accept it - and move on | Conservative Home
Any fair-minded observer would think better of him at the end of yesterday's press conference than he or she may have done at the beginning.
