The Dominic Cummings file

[The39thStep]

So his child needs a wee between Castle Barnard and Durham, but not between London and Durham?

Barnard Castle

 

[agricola]

My whole perception of the traditional right wing press has been upended during this crisis.

They probably have realised there is no polishing this any more.

If any of them come out defending him in the morning, even those clowns at Spiked, I will be amazed. He has admitted worse things than Crerar et al accused him of.

 

[5t3IIa]

Why did the let him do this??

 

[DexterTCN]

Has he apologised yet?

 

[mauvais]

Do I regret driving dangerously? Well, perhaps I should have driven very dangerously, maybe that's what I should I have done? I regret not doing that.

 

[editor]

Don't mistake blue on blue fighting for being on our side

I don't trust them any more than I ever have, but I can certainly acknowledge some of the good writing they've done - particularly the FT.

 

[Calamity1971]

Isn’t it over forty miles From Durham to Barnard Castle?

About 30.

 

[Looby]

Can’t remember if he filled up with petrol but even if he did it was allowed.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

OMG he's like a teenager getting caught borrowing his mum's car and trying to cover it up.

"But my wife said, let's go to Barnard Castle..."

 

[editor]

He's lying about the petrol.

 

[harpo]

Barnard Castle

OK.

 

[Mation]

I have a really horrible, increasing suspicion that this man has ADHD

 

[equationgirl]

Funny how he and his wife were both sick but she's capable of looking after their son.

 

[DexterTCN]

"It's a five hour trip...I can't remember if we stopped"

 

[Badgers]

Check his fuel consumption for that journey. Not stopping at all despite the child on board needing a wee

 

[agricola]

This performance is the greatest gift Grant Shapps has ever or will ever recieve. Noone is ever going to remember his performances after this.

 

[NoXion]

He's a fucking liar. Too much hedging.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I don't trust them any more than I ever have, but I can certainly acknowledge some of the good writing they've done - particularly the FT.

Often it's not a question of their talents, but what they use them for.

 

[cyril_smear]

what was the honking noise when the interview started? It was throwing him off kilter.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Old Rishi must be please he tagged his rising star to this

 

[editor]

How can you not be sure if you stopped off for petrol or not?

 

[8ball]

Fuck off for a week, trollboy.

I assume there has been stuff happening on other threads..

 

[rekil]

"Had a few pints, was just testing out if I could drive OK before I headed all the way back home."

Drive Yourself Sober.

 

[Mogden]

He's lying about the petrol.

Of course he is. I can fully see Clarkson doing an entire episode of the fuel capacity of Cummings' car

 

[agricola]

Check his fuel consumption for that journey. Not stopping at all despite the child on board needing a wee

he'll probably say he was using red diesel

 

[LDC]

"But my wife said, let's go to Barnard Castle..."

Wasn't that her birthday I saw reported somewhere?

 

[Doctor Carrot]

This is excruciating & hilarious at the same time

Exactly this... What must the rest of the world think of this? I feel like I've entered a different dystopian timeline where I'm watching some sinister reality TV show about a bloke who has to convince a panel of judges he's not a lying fuck wit before the public vote on whether he gets executed or not at the end.

 

[Ted Striker]

 

[Steel Icarus]

I can't go 250 miles by car without a slash, where did the kid piss?

 

[Lord Camomile]

He literally cannot bring himself to apologise or express regret about anything; not the smallest thing
