... would like to find some excuse for this second breach of lockdown - after he was well and back at work - and when (presumably) the 'childcare' emergency was no longer valid reason?

Great minds think alike, lol.
AH, //Do you seriously think you can compare people who carry out administration duties ...//

Is that all Civil Servant do then, AH? Are you sure?

Please stop blowing smoke.

Your analogy is nonsensical, I have explained why I believe it to be unworkable, so by all means argue the point, but let's not trot off down blind alleys, shall we?
AH, That you believe it's unworkable doesn't make you right. If you imagine all Civil Servants do a 9 to 5 job sitting at a computer screen number crunching with regular tea breaks and an hour for lunch you'd be very wrong indeed. You too diddly. Do a bit of research.

Again you are trying to miss the point.

I don't care if civil servants spend the day trying on clown costumes and ingesting hallucinogenic drugs - the point is, there is absolutely no comparison between government employees whose status is not altered by the changes in government, and a senior adviser who works closely with the Prime Minister.

The role of the civil service is not the point of your analogy, and to try and make it so now is merely diversionary tactics, which are singularly failing to work.
We all know that while Dominic Cummings might be a civil servant on paper, he's not going to carry on in a 'Sir Humphrey' type role as an advisor to the next PM.

He is part of the Boris/Gove team, and will be gone when they go.
AH, Diversionary tactics? Not at all. Simply responding to diddly’s...

//would anyone work for an ultra right-wing Tory i.e. Boris if he didn't share his right-wing views.//

…and your …

//I have no doubt that Mr Cummings is a Tory supporter - it would be virtually impossible for him to do his job otherwise//

Both wrong. What more can I say?
naomi - // Both wrong. What more can I say? //

You can say - I have good reasons for my statement, and I am happy to back them up.

My reasons are … (fill in here please).
naomi - // Certainly. A few to be going on with. //

I thought you were dropping the Civil Service diversion - seems I was wrong.

You stated that my assertion that Mr Cummings is a Tory supporter is wrong - I am interested to know why, and the salaries of Civil Servants is not really helping.
AH, //You stated that my assertion that Mr Cummings is a Tory supporter is wrong//

I said nothing of the sort. You said //I have no doubt that Mr Cummings is a Tory supporter - it would be virtually impossible for him to do his job otherwise//

It wouldn’t be virtually impossible for him to do his job otherwise.

And I didn’t say I was dropping the Civil Service connection. It’s relevant. Look at the job titles - not a 9 to 5 number-cruncher among them - and all working for the government. Tell me where their political allegiance lies.
Sorry to interrupt the usual nightly exchange, but by all accounts Cummings is not Tory, Labour, or anything. He has equal contempt for all of them.
He simply wants to do the best thing for the country without all these intellectually inferior MPs and journalists getting in the way. The trouble is that what he considers the best thing for the country is just whatever his own opinion is, like the rest of us.
Be my guest, tomus. I've said my bit.
//Cummings has described his political views as "not Tory (Conservative), libertarian, 'populist' or anything else"//

//On his appointment, The Guardian reported that at a conference in 2017 Cummings had argued that: "People think, and by the way I think most people are right: 'The Tory party is run by people who basically don't care about people like me'"; and that "Tory MPs largely do not care about these poorer people. They don't care about the NHS. And the public has kind of cottoned on to that".//

Mm, I wonder why so many Tories want him sacked.

He also says no-one should earn more than £100,000 a year.

Wonder why so many civil servants & presstitutes hate him. It's a mystery, isn't it?
// Wonder why so many civil servants & presstitutes hate him. It's a mystery, isn't it? //

What's more of a mystery is why people like you appear to love him.
Tomus, I can't speak for Spicerack but from my point of view it’s not a case of love or hate - it’s common sense pragmatism.
Pray tell - where and how does "common sense" come into the DC affair?
It's no accident that Boris's ratings have plummeted in the wake of this affair. Is he so thick/arrogant to fail to understand the import ?
What are you moaning about, diddly? I'd have thought you'd be delighted with that news.
