The family gyrations to Abba could be up there with the 9-11 dancing jooos!So was he staying in an empty house near his sister, or dancing in the garden of his parent's house or both

We'll never know. Nothing has ever happened in Scunthorpe.

Ive now got a mental image of Cummings doing contemporary dance in a leotard in the garden of his country pile, whilst earnestly reciting his favourite passages from Neuromancer and occasionally pausing to cough up a lungSo was he staying in an empty house near his sister, or dancing in the garden of his parent's house or both

It will be a dilemma - on the one hand they could get him to resign, on the other they would expose themselves to ridicule, have to invalidate every conviction and fine imposed and see the lockdown collapse as parents rush to dump their kids on grandparents so they can go back to work, leading to an increase in infections, deaths and hundreds / thousands of people thinking for the rest of their lives that they were the ones who infected nan or granddad with the virus that killed them.
Actually when I said "dilemma" there, I probably mistakenly have given the impression that they'd ever not choose the second option.

It's not about private lives. Given that he's been very close to most of the murkier political shit that's played out over the last few years, not least all the Cambridge Analytica/data harvesting business and the machinations around prorogation of parliament last year, I find it very difficult to believe he doesn't have a pretty clear idea about what's been done and by whom. The fact he's not Bullingdon doesn't matter: not everyone who gets close to power is part of that set, and anyway, his parents live in a castle so it's not as if he's some working-class interloper, is it?! The fact he's not a Tory member is more interesting, but these people are cynical enough to overlook that if they think he'll be useful to them - and for the very reasons you give, they do. That's the other reason I don't think he's going anywhere.
What I'm not clear on in my own mind is how important he actually is and what his exact role has been. Some seem to think he's some sort of strategic mastermind playing games of six-dimensional chess and staying several moves ahead of everyone else. I don't doubt that he's pretty sharp, but his blogposts read like the ramblings of a second-year undergrad who isn't nearly as clever as he thinks he is. I'm sure he's been instrumental in some of what has gone on, but equally, he does seem to be very good at writing his own myth.

Must admit, I did a little dance on the day Bozo the killer clown was taken to ICU.

OK, but I don't get why they would choose to curate the work 'cummings' out, when a large proportion of the other trending terms are transparently about the same story, including plenty that have his first name in there. It doesn't make sense unless - to save the curators having to constantly exclude swear words and other offensive words from the trending bar - there's already an autofilter on some words. Such as 'cumming'.

I think most of that's pretty widely known about too.
In outline, but the detail is still pretty murky. I bet he knows a lot more than most of us...
A couple of the earliest cases (remember those heddy days when individual cases made news,) were reported in Newcastle. I mean yeah, he's wreckless and an arsehole for going up there, probably won't resign etc, etc but let's not be silly about this.
