Perhaps The Apologists For Mr Cummings ...

[sunny-dave]

... 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second breach of lockdown - after he was well and back at work - and when (presumably) the 'childcare' emergency was no longer valid reason?

Yesterday Cummings said, "Only last year I wrote explicitly about the danger of coronaviruses.”

It now transpires on the day he returnt to London on 14th April, he edited a blog he had posted in March last year to add a whole chunk about coronavirus.

Corby - // Yesterday Cummings said, "Only last year I wrote explicitly about the danger of coronaviruses.” //

Then he of all people, should be aware of the danger, and the risk of travelling … or not.

[sunny-dave]

Yes TCL - for a person with his supposedly wonderful 'media savvy' knowledge not to understand that this transparent fabrication would be easily exposed using things like Wayback Machine is bizarre.

Possibly even more bizarre is to invent this random ego-boosting story when already under the cosh - perhaps he has a pathological condition and just can't stop fibbing ...

Boris allegedly employs DC for his political acumen/brainpower. Sad then that he employs someone completely devoid of common sense - who, in their right mind, would drive a round trip of 60 miles to ascertain whether their eyes were fit for driving? Personally I wouldn't drive at all on public roads if I thought my eyes could be a problem.

Corby - // Yesterday Cummings said, "Only last year I wrote explicitly about the danger of coronaviruses.” //

according to the BBC which at times is just about as accurate as some people on AB
he had adjusted his script later (*) to make it more corona-virussy.

Doris Stokes did this too apparently. Everyone will clearly remember her as the Mystic Meg of the forties. early editions - not much luck contacting Mr Hitler
Later editions - she was predicting where the bombs would fall with - - pin point accuracy. which was kinda weird as the RAF cdnt do it within 6 miles

(*) yes reader - ex post facto !

Didnt Mrs Cummings not also write a piece for the Spectator where she claimed that neither her or her family had moved from their London address during the whole lockdown.Someone is lying here.....he said they were up in Durham,she said they werent.

[Peter Pedant]

o dammit all Corby
you were anterior to me - apolz

but I thought I could lighten up my script with a little frou-frou about Doris Stokes. I bet you didnt know that one of Doris;s predictions was " I will get more accurate in later life!"

[THECORBYLOON]

PP, what script do you mean?

[ToraToraTora]

still going.......come on you can stretch it to 500, surely!

[diddlydo]

TTT - maybe you can help by defending one of your Tory chums?

[Spicerack]

Cummings isn't a Tory, fool.

[Mozz71]

Well, I think he's undoubtedly a Tory Spicy, just not a Tory MP.

//come on you can stretch it to 500, surely! //

we'll do our best - and don't call me Shirley.

[dannyk13]

Diddly
//Cummings has described his political views as "not Tory (Conservative), libertarian, 'populist' or anything else//

[dannyk13]

^ also for Mozz.

[Mozz71]

Thanks Danny I wasn't aware of that.I

Spicy, seriously, if you can't be civil when responding to me, just don't bother eh?

[gulliver1]

09.53 Gosh Danny you are so Gullible.

[Spicerack]

Stop making stupid statements about things you know nothing about.
