Cummings (with Poll)

Reminds me of excuses used by solicitors to try get their clients off a charge when they know they are bang to rights.

 

I cannot believe it took them 2 days to think such an excuse up. A 5 year old could have come up with a more plausible excuse

 

And I would drive 500 miles
And I would drive 500 more

This guy is his mentor!

 

The speed limit would depend on the roads he was on.
Its either 70,60,50, 40, 30 or 20.
If he wanged down the A1 then went west to Barnard Castle he may never have exceeded the limit and that could easily explain why he managed approx 30 miles in 30 mins.
Though driving at up to 70 on the A1 to see if you were ok to drive is pure madness.
If indeed that was his real reason for going there.

 

Agreed. The whole testing my eyesight thing just makes it feel like more of an insult.

 

I doubt he could have made much more of a mess out of this than he has.

Just show some humility and express some level of empathy and move on.

But no he just dug his heels in and made a bigger hole.

Makes you wonder if he has some dirt on BoJo that is keeping him in a job.

 

Yeah, but none so bloody funny you heartless tory voter, it was his missus' birthday 'fer crying out loud.
I think it might be illegal with the DVLA but cough, cough its dom so its ok with the Goon Squad on here.
Who have lapped the excuses up.

 

Your last line is the key, Boris needs dom to drive his government in achieving brexit etc more than dom needs him otherwise he would be toast by the end of the week.
I have every faith that with these 2 driving the brexit bus the public will be Oven Ready sooner than later.

 

Seems like Cummings' claim to have warned about pandemic risk on his blog are false. Apparently he only added that bit on 14th April.

 

He should resign.

The media are loving it because it gives them something to hit the government with and lets be honest if he did resign they would still be pushing this out, the fact he hasn't gives it more legs. The media know that reporting on good news doesn't really sell papers so they will get their pound of flesh and drag this out for a full week minimum.

He should have just resigned, the government called it a bad judgement and focus on the more important things that need addressing. When someone making the rules, breaks the rules that they expect you to follow then there is no defence.

Sky sending a reporter to his parents house is shameful, but not unexpected.

The damage has been done no, if he resigns from this point onwards it will make no difference.

 

The retribution he'll be dishing out will be biblical.
The media are gonna get a right fcking.

 

Good, and deservedly so.......

 

I really hope so, The press we have, have no shame

 

My friend on Facebook shared a picture of her son from the BBC news. He was one of the paparazzi photographers at his house. Deleted her. I'm all for a free press and this is certainly a public interest story but these photographers are revolting.

 

"I know my place"

 

Whats the point of been rich and powerful if you cannot bend a rule or two? Most would if had the chance
