Off Topic The Politics Thread

Oh dear. Or make him go and if the Tory hardcore dont like it they will find plenty of ways of telling the PM.

 

Whatever happens, this is damage limitation for Johnson and the tories. Such a pleasure to watch.

 

****ing hell, I’m away from the thread for 24 hours and there is another 10 pages or so to read.....gave up after 3 .

Everyone doing as they should, Ellers defending the right, Bob campaigning for the Left......nothing new to see.

My take on it is that it’s appalling for Cummings to think he is above the rules and make what on the surface is such an excessive journey to have his kids looked after....wasn’t there anyone closer ? Or is he just taking us the public as idiots and thinks he’s better than us.

However what I find equally as appalling, is the personal attacks on the fella in the street. Might of been put before, but there’s a video going around of some of his neighbours shouting abuse at him from their windows. ****ing middle class ****s from their multi million pound houses.....would melt if someone went up to them and told them to **** off to their faces.

 

Dont be away for so long next time then!!

 

Her brother lives round the corner but it’s laughable they’ll brass neck this as a father of the year act of heroism.

I’d gladly tell him to **** off to his face but alas I can’t yet afford an Islington townhouse.

 

You have some defensive thing going on there... trying turn posters against me? You have nothing to add so go away.

 

Make no mistake a lot of the public are pissed off over this. Boris has lost a lot of support here.

 

Agree Staines the circus outside his house is ridiculous. If have also just seen on the news that his son suffers from autism and doesn’t need this in his life.

 

Fair play they’re reaching around for enough excuses until one sticks.

 

You mean ‘on here‘? People are a bit P’d but they will forget when things get back to normal.

 

More Leavers believe he should be sacked than shouldn’t. He’s pissed all over the normal people who have had to make gut-wrenching sacrifices over the last few months to protect his man. Obviously you’ll back him regardless but don’t pretend this is a tiny issue only relevant to a small number of people.

 

Watford you don’t have kids and probably don’t understand the bond. Now the news is reporting that his son has autism it changes things a bit. It’s okay you shouting from the sidelines with your radical views but people will understand why he did this. I’m not saying it was right but As a father I can understand.

 

Let’s debate this in January and it won’t even be mentioned. You are making out that this is worse than the pandemic. You need to wait until all the full facts come out.

 

It’s weak to use the kid as an excuse but they’re clutching now and predictable as night follows day you’ll cling onto it. It’s a spit in the face to all the parents of autistic kids in far worse situations who stuck with it. Stop accepting such mediocrity when we all deserve better from our actual ****ing Prime Minister.

 

And whose fault is that the facts never, ever come out? It’s laughable that you’ll keep finding justifications for your views. There are none.

 

The Durham Police have just announced that they will be reporting on facts as to whether Cummings broke the law. So we can wait for that

 

If other parents with autistic children had done what Cummings did, would we all be lining up to condemn them? I think not.

Cummings has made a lot of enemies and this is their chance to damage him, regardless of the merits of the current argument

 

Yes. Of course we would if they were as high profile as this bloke. Other parents have had to comply with the rules under worse circumstances. It makes it considerably worse that he was part of creating the very rules he flouted.

Your arguments and justifications are as pathetic as Ellers’. I don’t believe either of you honestly buy this but it’s the latest straw thrown out for the base to clutch.

 

You state he flouted rules but this has not been proved. Official guidance published in March says "it is very important that individuals with symptoms that may be due to coronavirus and their household members stay at home". This still applies.

The guidance outlines ways to pass the time and obtain food and medicine.

However, it does acknowledge that it is not always straightforward when children are involved.

It says: "If you have children, keep following this advice to the best of your ability, however, we are aware that not all these measures will be possible."

You ignore the arguments in a desperate attempt to smear the Tories. It makes your post valueless
