The Dominic Cummings file

[Raheem]

Can anyone find in the legislation the words about child and discretion?

The guidance gives "very limited reasons for leaving the house". This includes "Any medical need", which in turn includes the need to "provide care or help a vulnerable person". Given that the word "care" is used but childcare isn't expressly excluded, if you have children that need caring for, hey presto, the world is your oyster.

I honestly think that's the best the lawyers have been able to do in terms of a loophole on which to build the whole story.

It’s just so mad ! A 100 times better to say sorry we wanted to see the castle than this completely comedy lie about eyes. Brilliant.

The sheer hypocrisy of that is astounding, when you look at the kind of harrassment that women journalists - and it primarily is women - get from those kinds of accounts. They're quite happy to unleash the clanking troll-bot armies when it suits them, and then whine when one of their own is in the spotlight. Scum.

And top Guido comment so nothing about the detail just DEFLECT warp factor 10.

Chinese Communist Party unleashes deadly virus which kills 350k people and trashes the global economy.
Not a dicky-bird from the left.
Man drives to Durham.....HOLY CR@P, LEFTIST MELTDOWN!!

nobody is advocating actually pitchforking Cummings and his family you hysterical bellend.

 

[Sprocket.]

I think Cummings is descended from Baron Munchausen.

 

[equationgirl]

I bet Dom's getting pissed and moaning to Mary that nobody's understood the sacrifices he's made.

 

[eatmorecheese]

This whole daily briefing shit and today's Cummings fest reminds me of very early memories of TV in 1970's Argentina.

 

[Calamity1971]

Definitely a wise move to drive several hundred miles away from some of the best university/teaching hospitals and arguably the best children's hospital in the country if you have any concerns about your child.

Considering dryburn hospital,durham, is known in the northeast as dieburn, cos once in that shit hole you don't come out.

Posterity surely. Or is quoting a little light internet rage good for the fengshui?

Just heard him on the news quote the legislation and use a phrase including "ability". I can't find the appropriate part of the legislation which has that in it. Anyone find it?

Oh, like MayDie (Mayday) in Croydon then...

well, I can always use that quote at a later date.

Ironically due to Tory cuts no doubt!

 

[bimble]

Classic Dom will take on a new meaning or die, preferably die.

thanks for pulling me up on that slight grammatical oversight.

He will have security and on-going risk assessments for himself and his family. Just like Campbell did.

Don't be fooled mate.

 

[Humberto]

Does anyone believe him though? This administration looks weaker and weaker with the passing months. A climb-down would seem inevitable so postponing it doesn't make sense. If it was a government minister they would be out of a job, yet this guy has more actual power and influence than most ministers in government it looks like. If the press and politicians can't make this stick, then I guess nothing ever will.

ye he's a cunt!! Of no doubt.

But tweeting his coordinates just isn't my cup o' tea.

OK, fair enough. Who did that?

Stupids gonna stupid. Unfortunately we now have alt-right social media to rile them up. Cummings and his like are good at that.

everybody in the world.

Malapropism. Nothing to do with grammar.

 

[kenny g]

From Bo Jo's press conference it is clear what they are scared of is a charge of misconduct in a public office against cummings.

 

[DexterTCN]

Well...that was like something from a Bolivian or Hungarian type.

What an absolute laughing stock the UK is. Imagine how this is being reported.

NEW: Prof Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance left No 10 at approx 1820.

Earlier we were told they would be appearing with the PM at the daily press conference.

Why did they turn up for the presser and then leave?

Have asked No 10 for comment.

 

[Roadkill]

Malapropism.

i dont no what that meings

 

[cupid_stunt]

Johnson is looking seriously pissed off about being questioned about Cummings, and is trying to close that line of questioning down.

Did he honestly think it would be any different?
