Probably worth having a formal investigation on Cummings before any decisions are made. He’s a decisive character who people blame for brexit but I’m not a fan of justice by lynch mob.

Virgin Atlantic sacks 3000 and begs for taxpayers money.

Virgin Orbit preparing to launch a rocket in its next step to take millionaires into space.

The vanity and lack of awareness of Branson is staggering.

I hate the ****, pretends to be a ‘man of the people’ when he is far from it.

The similarities between all the cabinet ministers tweets in support of cum-bubble yesterday are so on the nose it was obviously a mandated toe the line response. They think we are stupid and some of us are proving them right.

I still can’t work out why none of these people can ever admit to making a mistake and apologising.

If there is one thing I have tried to teach my kids it’s to fess up when you make a mistake, preferably before anyone else has realised that a mistake has been made. It gains you respect and trust, and lessens stress on yourself as you worry about getting found out and maintaining an elaborate cover up. Unless of course you are fessing up to something every 30 minutes, which will get you badged as an idiot. Thankfully I have the capacity to learn from my mistakes and am confident that I can repeat them perfectly.

That's one of my big frustrations with this whole thing. We know there have been mistakes, they know they have made mistakes but they accept zero accountability.

Well said
 
So Johnson’s gamble is that the public don’t care what his ministers and advisors get up to and will just shrug and carry on. We just assume that they make the rules to suit themselves. He might well be right, our expectations about the behaviour of politicians and their hangers on are so low, and we are so exhausted by the endless lies and self serving behaviour that we will just let them get away with it, again. But an increasing number of his own backbenchers disagree, and a lot of cabinet ministers will be resenting making themselves even more obviously toadying spineless fools by following the ‘save Dom’ script.

More seriously, let’s hope that everyone feeling a bit peeky doesn’t start visiting their aged parents or grandparents.
 
It'll all end in tears, once the hounds have the scent there's only one outcome. Boris has his biggest decision to come, when does rather than if he does throw Cummings to the pack?...

I have a sneaky feeling that your last sentence is exactly the outcome desired but with no political attachment to blame.

I have to say Bob, now I know that the ‘stay at home at all costs and self isolate if you feel ill or know someone who feels ill’ actually meant ‘do whatever the **** you want as long as you can somehow say it was about protecting your family’ I would have been in Berlin 3 months ago. **** sight safer than anywhere here, with irresponsible ****s like Cummings and his lying wife about.

Nothing to do with the thousands of ****s ****ing off to the seaside every weekend, nope let’s just blame the cancellation for your trip on one person, simply because he’s a government advisor, or is it because the thousands of ****s are on your side, lefty liberal fukwits from nottinghill etc.
F*cking unbelievable!!!!
