The Dominic Cummings file

[brogdale]

I wonder how this is going to play in their (likely) strategy of whipping up a culture war between lockdowners and lifters...

That war is won; with all trust and belief in the equity of commitment blown out of the water, the Bank Holiday crowds & traffic are Cummings' victory. Lockdown was easier to exit than they'd ever dreamed possible.

 

[NoXion]

Cummings is giving a statement? At least now we know who's in charge.

 

[Plumdaff]

Although I will of course watch and hope it's a shitstorm.

 

[Smangus]

So the real PM is deigning to speak to the plebs today, how nice of him.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

What a load of shit. He's an advisor. It's the judgement and accountability of the Cabinet, and the PM in particular, which is the issue. I couldn't give a fuck what Cummings has to say for himself. Get Johnson out to tell us what he knew and when and did he give agreement for it to happen.

^^^^This x 1000

Dominic is going to address the nation....like the PM or the queen would...

Boris Johnson defends Dominc Cummings following aide's press conference

A growing number of Conservative MP's join calls for Cummings to go

If he was true to form he would use the live broadcast (if that's what it is) to say fuck to Boris for pushing him into this, fuck you all and then fuck right off -classic dom and all that. And then fuck off to start to hedge fund in a tax haven whilst his Islington house burns.

 

[hash tag]

Not gone yet then
I see there is over 300000 signatures on 2 petitions.

 

[hegley]

Expect a lot of use of the phrase "I'm sorry if people feel that...."

Looks like real desperation. When the messenger becomes the story the game's up.

He strikes me as the type of man who would never willingly use the S word, even in the Patel sense.

 

[chilango]

Hmmm.

I wonder what they're up to.

Cummings doesn't strike me as someone who'll fall on his sword.

Is this the one Starmer started with his requests for a plan?

 

[prunus]

I imagine he’s going to for for contrite apology “I thought i was doing the right thing but I see now that etc etc” and hope that it goes away. It better bloody not though. He deserves full on excoriation.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Fucks sake if you are going to kill the king do it fucking properly.

This should be wrapped up and done, knives cleaned

Can Durham police not pull his phone mast pings and just show everyone what an arsehole he’s been

Country is fucked, and going right down the toilet after this

 

[Dogsauce]

They spent a long time meeting yesterday, might even be a strategy in play, although you’d think not from Johnson’s performance last night.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Perhaps he will tell us that he can hold his piss for 250 miles and that he doesn't breathe at all when visiting castles?

 

[phillm]

I'll take his crocodile tears and raise him hungry alligators teeth.

That kind of shit worked out well for Nonce Andrew, after all...

There aren't enough sick bags or pitchforks in the King-Dom.

Serious, but cynical, question: Why do people (on here) want the Conservatives to clean up their mess here?

Surely, the longer they try and ride this out the better?

#cummingsmuststay

Because sixty thousand people have died (which is almost certainly going to grow by a huge amount).
I really, genuinely, wanted to give the Tories the benefit of doubt, and hoped that they'd stop playing politics, and actually try to save people - and I'm fucking livid (with myself mostly) that the Tories have spent the entire epidemic being Tories.

But what's the alternative?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Perhaps he will tell us that he can hold his piss for 250 miles and that he doesn't breathe at all when visiting castles?

That's going to be the statement. He'll neck two litres of Tizer then stare down the camera for 5 hours.

Maybe finish it off with a "end of story".

 

[Raheem]

He's going to notify us of a job ad on his blog for the post of Prime Minister.

 

[Badgers]

The London Mob's blood is up today.

It definitely rhymes, but does anyone know if it means something?

"I couldn't have been at Barnard Castle on that date, I was in Pizza Express."

 

[elbows]

It will be fine, he will win over the public once he reveals that he cannot sweat and he had a tip-off that there was a branch of Pizza Express still operating in Barnard Castle.

Class War will no doubt be considering a home visit.

 

[Steel Icarus]

When is the conference?

"I couldn't have been at Barnard Castle on that date, I was in Pizza Express."

Great minds etc.

Derry man jailed after driving 280 miles to Kerry to buy puppies

Tells us a lot he's making a statement himself I think, oh I will fucking laugh if it's outside Number 10 like the PM does.

I don't think he'll be resigning or saying any meaningful 'sorry', my bet is on playing the family angle with some half arsed excuses and mealy mouthed 'sorry I upset people' kind of things. Here's hoping it's a repeat of Prince Andrew's crowd pleaser.
