The Dominic Cummings file

[Treacle Toes]

I think there's a reasonable chance Cummings might go over this. There is zero chance Johnson will go over Arcuri.

I doubt either will go, that said I am open to both obviously.

It's just more of the same shit different day at this point.

It's a sham marriage. He's gay.

I'm disturbed to learn that not only has someone married Dominic Scummings, but also chose to reproduce with him

i reckon he will go. the fact that ferguson and the scottish science advisor were both swiftly booted for lesser offences is pretty glaring. driving several hundred miles to visit your elderly parents when you are infected with bat flu is blatantly against the orders to self isolate if you have symptoms. orders drawn up by the government cummings works for and that he was involved in drafting.
Also - we only have his side of the story - other damming details may emerge - like the went to the local shop - or visited a service station en-route.
and - although hes very much part of the johnson gang - he is widely hated by large sections of the tory party (and the feeling is mutual)

i think of him as more...

Another hope...all those people who've been fined or arrested/harrassed for being of breach of lockdown rules can claim money back or make complaints.

 

[killer b]

we might hope for a moon made of cheese too.

[ska invita]

i think hes going to be forced to go, purely because so much emphasis is continuously put on us all to follow these rules. no excuse cuts it

 

[killer b]

In the end that's what will do for him, if he's to be done for though - it's the damage him remaining in position does to the integrity of the lockdown. The way Goodall lays it out, his position is untenable. This doesn't mean he'll go... but I think there's a very good chance of it.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Yes we might.

Does you neck hurt?

 

[two sheds]

If he does go he'll be out for a few months until the fuss dies down and I doubt it would make much difference because he's standing behind Johnson in the shadows as it is.

I hope the psycho goes. A nasty little peptic ulcer on the body of society.

Its annoying that its shit like this that can get politicians booted out whilst moments of naked corruption such as Johnson giving public money to his mistress in full view get whitewashed so effectively, but you take what pleasures you can i guess.

Over to Starmer I guess. Ought to make something of it.

Equally knowing Cummings is a fucking eugenicist should have been enough...but here we are..

There's the precedent of Jenrick going to see his parents and it apparently not mattering. Although it's probably true that most of Fleet Street got distracted by Googling to find out who he was.

Fucking sick of him getting all the props for 'forensically' stating the obvious tbh

Translated into Latin, that could well be Johnson's motto.

He does state the obvious forensically though (not that I've seen him)

yeah exactly....all the filth was there to see in the run up to election and people vote for their like regardless. getting caught on something like this is just a bit of a "narrative trap", nowhere near as bad as half the things they do and think, but such is the game of national conversation parliamentary politics i guess.

Cummings is a cocky little shit, and i guess it can get your far up a greasy pole, but i think his arrogance has fucked him here.

Dan Hodges' take on it:

 

[killer b]

He's done for then.

Dan Hodges' take on it:

itll be interesting to see the many contortionist defences coming out... its not just some dick losing his job, id expect it will be understood as a massive blow to...Johnsonism to the entire Johnson Project

hmm! my mood has lifted! might go to bed

 

[Raheem]

He does state the obvious forensically though (not that I've seen him)

He does it like a lawyer, but not in an exciting way like in a TV drama. More like an actual lawyer reading out bits of tax legislation and not explaining the relevance. He does probably win the argument, but it takes concentration to tell.

 

[two sheds]

Yes I doubt he'll have much joy when being heckled by the massed ranks of tories back from holiday and cheering johnson on.

Sweet dreams They've got the long weekend to bury this so count sheep and not chickens yeah?

If he goes , it will not only be the wheels of boris' ( 350 mil , brexit ?) bus ,he will take the spare with him.

Which is nice.

( except I'm not sure it will happen , but it has been a fucking weird year so far, so anything is possible , except 5g corona bats )
