Factotum Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It must be killing The Sun editors that they can't go to town on this. They have to look enviously on as The Star absolutely nails it and has a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Quite amazing really. The paper that thrives on scandals having to sit back and try to play some sort of caring card the last few weeks because they've been told to fall in line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted May 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 The committee hearing should, for anyone not aware that he is not fit to be PM. Even admitted he doesn’t read the scientific guidance but hears the ”cream” from advisors. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted May 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 27, 2020 So the actual practical importance of this total shitshow is being highlighted right now. Tomorrow they are going to unveil the test/track/trace/isolate program. That program is the only way you can even vaguely safely lift/ease lockdown without a vaccine or better treatment. The point of the program is that people can move about more normally, but if you've been in close contact with somebody who gets COVID or symptoms, a contract tracer tells you and you stay home for two weeks. For that to work, it absolutely has to be "stay home, don't go anywhere, no exceptions." And Boris Johnson now cannot effectively tell the population to follow that rule.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted May 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 That liaison committee was unnerving, Johnson was lost, Cummings was quite clearly stood, arms crossed, tapping his foot angrily with a scowl on his face to Johnson's right off camera, because the amount of times Johnson looked there for reassurance or escape was exceptionally telling. And clearly they know they are fucked, they've even gone the "mess the hair even more up for your gimmick to shine through" route. And all this happened on a day where they kept the numbers of those that are newly affected or dead from Corona very quiet and it didn't fit the agenda for the app release.

Glenryck Pilchards Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It turns out that Dominic Cummings jointly owns his parents farm, so it is his second home. https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/10/dominic-cummings-owns-farm-got-eu-subsidy?__twitter_impression=true&fbclid=IwAR24kkzzZ1aJR1wbB75wFkov_cIduVRisKcvq2AWwKFJazj5STHOEidNuy8 The staunch Brexiteer has also received over 200,000 Euros in farming subsidies from the European Union. https://farmsubsidy.org/search/?q=+P+C+%26+N+M+%26+R+A+CUMMINGS And on further inspection there is this little snippet from Google - the farm's postcode is DH1 3SU it is a residential postcode in Cock o the North, County Durham. You really couldn't make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 If I was a selfish cunt I would be out protesting and using the Cummings defence. Thankfully I'm not an absolute fucking dirty Tory cunt and will continue to stay in and do my bit bit to add to the pandemic. Top Tory twat Matt Hancock laughing about this pandemic and the awful track and trace rollout boils my piss. I only hope that people remember this shower of shit when election rolls around. Highest death toll? Fuck me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted May 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 Cummings has been found guilty of breaking the lockdown rules by Durham Police. However, it concluded it was a minor breach and no further action. Unlike the two familes who drove up to Durham from London who were charged with breaking the rules. So unless we get a louder Tory revolt, he's gotten away with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted May 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yes and no. Boris Johnson, Gove and the Attorney General all made a big point about how he hadn't broken the rules, and how it was all down to interpretation and everyone 'must make their own minds up'. The police disagreeing with this should be a pretty big issue, particularly for the Attorney General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest death toll? Fuck me. Of course they won't. All this will be swept under the rug. It'll be all "We got Brexit done" "we reduced the number of people on benefits by (insert Covid death toll here)" and "we invested this much in the NHS (by selling it off)". Or "Starmer is a socialist, (billionaires) paying more tax to properly fund public services is bad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members unfitfinlay Posted May 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 They are straight into the denial already. Focusing entirely on "The Police said he did nothing wrong driving to Durham" and ignoring the part where they said he DID break the law going to the Castle. It's all a PR exercise to them. They just don't give a fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted May 28, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Quick clarification on Durham Police using the phrase "might have committed a breach." That's apparently legal speak for "he broke the rules and we'd have considered it a breach if we'd caught him." EDIT: Specifically, it's not up to the police to decide if somebody has broken the law. That's decided by somebody admitting guilt by accepting a fine or the case goes to court and they are convicted. "Might" in this situation means they consider he breached the rules.
