I’m agreeing it’s not. I’m saying it’s laughable you’d hide behind that as the reason for feigning scepticism over the Cummings stories.
Okay thank you. You answered my point.
It was misleading and has a headline of 'Double standards' (from these terrible papers).
Actually it should have said 'I'm a f22ing idiot that makes up rubbish because I hate Dominic Cummings'
 
blah blah blah mate. You have said it yourself. There are more important things to be discussing than Cummings. They are announcing new relaxing of restrictions soon and that should be the story not about some adviser that bloody drove to Durham.

That's why he must go.
 
Interesting that Cummings has enemies in the old ERG group - Peter Bone and Steve Baker call for him to go

The facts on the whole matter are opaque. Boris can't blag this one, he needs to be up front and if he decides to keep Cummings, he must do it with all the facts out there for the public

Agree Steve Baker made it clear that he didn't like Cummings but said he was 'brilliant' in some areas but always leaves 'collateral damage'. I really like Steve Baker and he talks a lot of sense.
The Guardian reporter on the news last night was virtually in tears <wah>"I have never been so angered. :steam:All-day It has made me feel so sick that Cummings went to Durham <wah> <laugh> She really milked it.

Just sack him, save what little credibility they have left and move on.

Can any puppet sack its puppet master?

After the text went out and all the lads did their bit by tweeting their support the most likely route will be to double down, shout “fake news” and trust that enough people will back you because Brexit or sumfink or just not care.

It it was JUST some advisor we would never have known about his roadtrip

My point exactly Kiwi. The Guardian has been after him for some time due to Brexit and Election. It has been a major effort to get something on him. This comes with the daily attacks on the government from some quarters.
It now depends on the truth. For starters some papers made it sound that the police were called because of him being there when in fact his father called the police regarding security issues? Why did they need to do that? I am also now hearing that he didn't return to Durham after a certain date which some papers led me to believe he did?
Maybe they should suspend him, have a quick inquiry, and make a decision based on facts. Then some (bar the lefty mob) can move on.
 
It really isn’t. You post something dumb and don’t like that people reply saying it’s dumb.
Actually there are some (maybe now just 1-2) that will just post the opposite to what I say. It's not just me though I have noticed it with a couple of others. That's why the Coronavirus thread has lost a few good posters. It should be called "let's just bitch about the government thread".

I don't think the coronavirus thread has lost any good posters. It's all relative anyway, the government and coronavirus. It's pretty difficult to praise them, all things considering. You should make a thread with all the positive things theyve done to combat it..............................
