The Dominic Cummings file

[Steel Icarus]

This is an absolute fucking disgrace.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

How good a shot are you with a sniper rifle?

can hit five out of six tin plates at the fair with an air rifle that has doctored sights...

 

[Doctor Carrot]

It's funny as fuck watching him try to just brass it out

 

[LDC]

The scientists missed a trick (and a chance to gain hero status and some integrity), they should have made a statement on it and walked out saying they won't be a part of this farce any more.

 

[brogdale]

Only 2 modes now; looking like he doesn't believe a word of what he says (making tricky dickie look like a good bet for a 2nd hand car purchase) & barely controlled temper tantrum.

Wonderful.

The damage will continue.

 

[agricola]

that reporter from the Oxford Mail has asked the best question of the day, which he has completely failed to answer

 

[Steel Icarus]

Didn't answer the question about when he knew Cummings had gone to Durham

 

[planetgeli]

If this were a football match you'd have 60,000 people chanting "THE REFEREE'S A WANKER!"

 

[LDC]

They'll sit it out today and hope it blows over this coming week. If something big hits the news that'll make it easier. Suspect he won't go now unless something new and very damning comes out.

 

[Sue]

Didn't answer the question about when he knew Cummings had gone to Durham

Yeah, surely someone else will pick that up?

 

[Mogden]

That's surely the quickest he's ever done that session

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

If you nail your colours to the mast and the ship goes down, you go down with it.

 

[brogdale]

The dead doctor from Oxford & Mr cummings are "in the same position"...saving the best till last.

Masterclass.

 

[wayward bob]

never imagined i'd see him grasping onto a ppe question as a lifeline...

 

[Plumdaff]

Fucking hell. That was no better than Trump, just because it's posh and verbose doesn't make it any less useless and corrupt.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I so fucking hope the Guardian & Mirror are going to serve up more tonight.

 

[Supine]

Is it possible to drive a Range Rover from London to Durham without stopping for petrol or toilet breaks?

 

[eatmorecheese]

Can't work out my emotions at that performance. Anger, mixed with amusement at the balls of the man, mixed with despair. I'm giggling inappropriately right now

 

[cupid_stunt]

Is it possible to drive a Range Rover from London to Durham without stopping for petrol or toilet breaks?

It's a 4 - 5 hour drive, so in theory yes, but unlikely.

I doubt it with a 4 year old child on board.

He's stuck so far up his own arsehole I'm surprised he could see the road, to be honest.

 

[brogdale]

How bad was that?

 

[LDC]

With a 4 year old too. I suspect we might have heard if he'd been seen at a service station though.

"You should have gone before we left "

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Not very Churchillian, was it

[Sprocket.]

Range Rover for sale. Seats smell of shit, piss and disease.

6th former winging it.

Re: The Thick Of It. Reality has made it redundant as satire

Blinky was better

 

[redsquirrel]

In terms of what?
I don't think it was a bad performance from Johnson really, none of the questions really landed a blow on him. I can't see it really changing people's mind either way.
