    Any proof? Thought you couldn't make accusations without proof....

    That's as tenuous as your "Cummings 20 stops" theory that you think the papers will come up with.

    Whether he was there or not (I'm beyond giving a **** now), he broke his own guidelines by travelling to Durham. Find whatever angle you want to defend him, but he's not denied travelling which was against ALL advice issued by the government.

    But it does look like a apb went out to all the Tory ministers.

    It depends if the second bit of news is true? I don't care that he went off to isolate with his family... bloody millions have. Some of the lockdown measures have been exploited, he is no different. If the castle day out is true, then he should go. no problem with that. I don't care about Cummings particularly.

    Do you agree that the mean you posted was misleading?

    By the sounds of it, it was misleading and if so I apologise. The other part is not irrelevant he is a high profile government representative going against the government’s ‘message’ rightfully other high profile people who have gone against that message have resigned. If he doesn’t go it will only further undermine the government’s message, but whilst people are willing to make excuses for anything.. why bother, the public will see it for what it is, one rule for the public and another for those in charge, absolutely shameful.

    Bloody hell wills you don't need to apologize as you didnt create it. Although fair play for acknowledging that it was rubbish. :emoticon-0148-yes: And agree there needs to be some sort of statement from Boris (Sack/Final warning/slap on wrist) as I now appreciate that the slogan was masterminded by him. <doh>

    He won't see it as he is in Downing St... I would also add why idiots need to create rubbish like that when we are still supposed to be in lockdown. It seems it's okay for them to political point score while others have to stay in?
    They are now getting slaughtered on Twitter. And rightly so. It's not fair on his child or neighbours. I wonder who organised this cock-up?

    Shocked at all the right wingers on Twitter deciding they have the moral high ground. “Harassment” FFS.

    You are wrong yet again Watofrd. It is disgusting that they are hounding someone this way. No respect for his wife and child or the neighbours. Plenty of channels to mock without doing this. I'm surprised that someone like you would think this acceptable? Fortunately it has backfired and many are disgusted about this (not all are right-wing).

    Oh who gives a ****. The **** should be taken out in the street and have a bullet stuck in him. He’s done far worse enough times. It’s just yet another case of the freedom of speech brigade crying about what victims they are.

    The wife and child aren’t in apparently anyway. The neighbours can go around it to and from Waitrose.

    No if I posted something that is incorrect I’ll apologise, I should have checked. The one thing I’ve appreciated is some Torys and Tory supporters have called for him to go which given the circumstances is the only option it’s just sad that some people will look for any tiny thing to try and stick up for someone on their side. For me if this had been a labour representative what would I have done? Yes I might not have been so vocal, but there’s no way I’d defend them unconditionally and agree it’s a **** up too big to ignore.

    Disagree, it was organised by the group led by donkeys who have done great work highlighting and bringing to to public attention some important messages, hypocritical situations. To state this will cause distress to the family is a stretch and Cummings has only himself to blame. If they had got in their faces like they did with Mogg in front of his child I’d agree with you, that was out of order.
