Dominic Cummings

[saintpeter48]

All of the press and media are saying he should be sacked, just how far have the cameramen and photographers travelled to film or take photos of him, there is a massive crowd of them camped outside his house barely a fag paper between them, hypocrites or what!!
Will the BBC sack their cameraman or the Mirror sack their photographers, etc, disgraceful behaviour by a pack of hyenas baying for blood!

'' But Brutus is an honourable man. ''

(Lots of folk could answer to the name Brutus right now!)

[Gromit]

If you believe Durham Police (And not Cummings who denies it) he was warned by the cops on the 31st of March about breaking the stay at home rule.
After which, the Government’s guidance was changed. A loopholed suggested a Mr D. Cummings, no doubt.

[Zacs-Master]

It is, but using Cummings as a ‘yardstick’.

[Mozz71]

She was a celebrity hounded by the redtops despite a well publicised history of mental illness.

He is a high ranking governmental advisor who flagrantly went against the lockdown regulations that he helped divise, and is showing incredible arrogance with his current lack of ownership of this violation. All this while a majority of the country are still abiding by the regulations he ignored.

The two events don't come close to one another.

Jim, .. re 01:40 Mon . I followed Birdie’s link - and no, Naomi wouldn’t have said that.

//Isn't this thread more about the behaviour of the press?/

Well, if the poll on GMB is anything to go by, the press are reflecting public opinion.

[naomi24]

High time the public had a re-think then. They're behaving stupidly.

[Mozz71]

After months of Brexit battles Naomi, I'd have thought "the will of the people" is something you'd be thoroughly behind!

[Peter Pedant]

this is just like the daily - thrice daily and much needed - Brexit threads - oh those good old days!

each one different - and making an essentially DIFFERENT
and look ! - ee-doo as they used to say in NT Greek - this one is about not Cummings but the media reaction to it

and has an little parallel with the goldfish bowl = AB. The overwrought and febrile "discussion" on free speech yesterday or whether I should be muzzled like the lippy cur that some people . say I am. or should I be allowed to express myself in er my usual unorthodox way? Well her I am folks! [ hey a note to everyone - if you dont understand me dont whine about me]

and my god arent the Bishops Baying for Blood! - yeah der sacrifice of Abraham ( whole body thing to you non bible reading proles) or the eucharist ( transubst...... god a word so long half of you fall asleep before I get to the end). "WE" one said "are not allowed in churches alone to pray and yet it is moral to jump in the car and go to Daddy in Durham". A doubting bishop diddled is an outraged bishop doubled!
yeah work that one out!

wow - powerful stuff. I think the Bishops think they have been taken for mugs and closed the churches and now instead they could have said - oh yes prime minister ( Queen is head of her church) and then kept them open .....

a Bishop scorned - hounding and harrowing the PM who also clearly doesnt like it, crouching and squealing like a stuck pig in the corner of no 10. well he has had practice in that hasnt he?

[Mozz71]

//squealing like a stuck pig in the corner of no 10//

Is that something Cameron left behind?

[Peter Pedant]

I was gonna eek say - I agree with Naomi -am I allowed to say that? (think it even?). "can he (Dombo) run the country?" is the main question. Even one of Doms doubters - Domz do-downers- commented " Dom is without doubt the most able of the No 10 special advisers"

the Chinee special security law is obviously more important geo-politically - universally ignored


and Mozz - free speech allows me say on AB - oh shut up you dumb frack! - Hi mozzie ! just saying what other people have said to me! nothing personal !

They are hypocrites trying to interrogate a hypocrite and everyone on this thread attacking Cummings and ignoring the moronic behaviour of the press outside the house of Dominic Cumming is also a hypocrite.

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI "Perhaps his predicament highlighted the flaw in the original plan - a potential situation previously overlooked - hence the change."

It wasn't his predicament, it was following a legal challenge taken from two legal firms as stated in your Guardian link.

'The change comes after lawyers from Bindmans LLP and 39 Essex Chambers were asked for help by two families with children on the autistic spectrum.

Bindmans said one of the children, whose conditions mean it was necessary for them to leave the house more than once a day for their wellbeing, was deliberately taken to a quiet location outside of their local area because of their particular needs.

The firms argued that the “inflexible policy”, which also says people should stay two metres apart from anyone outside of their household, disproportionately impacted those with certain health conditions and was “therefore unlawful and discriminatory”'

[jim360]

@Naomi: not that I want to get into it here too much, but what would you have said then?

[Peter Pedant]

Piggy in the middle at eton
well it wasnt eaten - it was - - - ! (*)
Big Boy was there "in personam" wasnt he?
That is Cameron and Boris were in the same room when 'it' happened and the photo taken - werent they?


(*) Readers, it is an Eton School jaunt to serve up a pig head at table and do just about anything beside eat it

[Peter Pedant]

have a thought for poor Naomi please boys

[CrapAtCryptics]

There are plenty of stock photos of DC so the whole hysterical pushing each other around thing was pointless as was the shouting at him which was probably staged anyway.

//Isn't this thread more about the behaviour of the press?//

yeah as I said - that was the strand of the THIRD thread.
fresh it is as the morning dew - a little birdie tweeting on a branch(*).
hey I bet Boris would like a few AB Site Rules enshrined in law so he could shut down debate huh? - just a thought

(*) big branch: I am a 100kg ickle birdie - likely to squeesh anyone I fall on

[naomi24]

Thanks Corby. It was just a thought.

Jim, continuing a discussion from elsewhere that I'm not involved in has no place in this thread.

[jim360]

Fair enough, but I'm surprised all the same.
