The Dominic Cummings file

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Potentially the most damaging thing he could do IMO. It's insulting people's intelligence and it's insulting everyone who has played by the rules and not been to visit families - which is most people. Maybe he can brazen it out again, maybe not. I don't think this one will be quite that easy though.

 

[Kaka Tim]

unbelievable. thought he was going to announce and enquiry as a "long grass" tactic. but no - dom did nothing wrong - end of. half expecting the guy doing the signing to make "fuck you" gestures at us.

 

[cyril_smear]

NIP

whats that?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Brilliant. He's absolutely fucked them

 

[agricola]

The BBC aren't. The Murdoch rags are half in half out. The Guardian and Mirror will be told off for political campaigning. I'm sure Twitter is compeletely melting down but that's just Twitter.

All it takes is one journalist with unequivocable evidence to show Cummings did what he is accused of and he (and now the PM) are going to be left looking like the whopper he is

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Prattling in about schools, neither of my kids can go. We can’t go on holidays. The quarantine is killing my business. I feel like doing what any father would do in such circumstances...

 

[eatmorecheese]

We have always been ruled by complete wankers, but this bunch can't finesse it. Jesus.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

whats that?

The speeding ticket

 

[Kaka Tim]

i wonder weather he just refuse to answer any questions about cummings

 

[LDC]

Reckon they've been in Downing Street all afternoon asking what Cummings did and what can be proved. Reckon couple of the accusations of him going up and down a few times are maybe erroneous, and they think they can ride out the truthful ones, and/or there's no proof of any trips out.

He's going to go full-Trump on this one.

 

[cyril_smear]

The speeding ticket

I think there's something. Would the meedya go with the second journey so aggresively if they didnt have proof.

 

[LDC]

i wonder weather he just refuse to answer any questions about cummings

Yeah, he'll just say I've made my position clear or something like that I reckon. Surely all he can do.

 

[Sprocket.]

Will the North London Brick Hurlers be arranging an outing now?

 

[brogdale]

There won't be any damaging outcome.

There really is.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

There will be some thing, phone records etc. You can’t move around without leaving a trail that a determined investigation wouldn’t find these days.

[beesonthewhatnow]

Wow. Even all the brexit loons with union jacks for avatars in the various local FB groups I'm in are furious with him. They have quite spectacularly misjudged the mood on this one.

 

[bimble]

He fucked that up really badly, I think. Spent 1 minute on it not even trying to address why millions of people feel how they do, repeating the offensive shit about any good father would drive to Durham. He’ll come to regret todays show I reckon.

 

[Kaka Tim]

waffling for all his worth to take up time

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I really, really hope the press have something else on him that will fuck then both.

 

[Part 2]

An appeal for dash cam footage from the area or CCTV from businesses in Barnard Castle might be good at this point.

 

[Part-timah]

It shows how precarious Boris perceives his position is without Cummings.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Wow, totally being torn apart by the journalists now.

 

[agricola]

or certain FOI requests

 

[chilango]

Lockdown's over then.

...and they didn't have to say a word.

££££

Well lets hope people are so incensed by this that lots of evidence magically appears.

(WTF is it with these really shit questions???)

 

[mwgdrwg]

Hmm, journalist muted. What a sad accident.

I think that's detail we can all do without

 

[cyril_smear]

what a dick head; he's totally misjudged it.
