Just So We Clear, D C Should Have Sacfrificed His Kid, Is That What The Left Journos Are Saying?

[ToraToraTora]

//I think the biggest revelation of all of this is that New Judge is just a typical lefty liberal remoaner.//

What, no smiley, Jim?

I've never taken to Mr Cummings but that's not the point. I've spent some time in my earlier life listening to garrulous drivel spouted by people trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I know a kidder. Mr Cummings, more than most, would know that any ordinary Joe trying the stunt (or more properly, stunts) that he pulled would fall foul of the law. He knows it and he knows that we know it. His actions were not reasonable; they didn't even come close to that definition. His arrogance, however, knows no bounds. He still insists he was in the right and he was not. It's never wise to take legal advice from a police officer but at least two senior plods have been on the telly with their interpretation of his actions. However, there was also a senior QC on last night and he was unequivocal in his belief that if Mr Cummings's case had gone to court he would be found guilty.

Having heard details of the Press Conference I've revised my opinion. He's not a selfish pillock. He's a selfish, arrogant pillock.

Succinctly put NJ.

I think this is a pretty good quote.

''a prime example of an entitled ***. AN UNELECTED BUREAUCRAT SO FAR UP HIS OWN *** That you can see him climbing out of his own mouth.''

[lady-janine]

I had to laugh at that our Tone. LOL.

can we just see it for what it was?
DC reverted to being a scared little boy who wanted his mummy.

[New Judge]

Did I mention that his "eye test" trip to Barnard Castle with his wife and child happened to coincide with his wife's 45th birthday? Thought not. Neither did he. I wonder if he knew of a restaurant there which was just testing out its new grill in readiness for reopening.

I wonder if Benedict Cumberbatch fancies a sequel to Brexit? Sounds like a good drama unfolding.

[Mamyalynne]

With some ABers as extras?

Indeed - and I have no problem with that - just don't treat the general public like they are morons, a proportion are obviously, but they are far from the majority, hence the furore.

[diddlydo]

The OP is conspicuous in his absence in the face of more or less zero support from AB members. Cummings is a lying, arrogant, selfish creep who did nothing to enhance his reputation this afternoon.

I'll be playing Jacob Rees-Mogg.

[Denton]

He was lying Tora END OF.!!

Get off his back,i have not heard anyone calling for the three
premier league footballers who broke lockdown to be sacked.
It's just left wing newspaper reporters behaving like a dog with a bone,they will not let go.

Just seen this quote from Prof Jackie Cassell, the deputy dean of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School:

"London has lots of ITU (intensive treatment unit) and hospital beds as a major population centre. Its residents should not be decamping to places where they might need – and in this case did need – to use another region’s hospitals and health care facilities. This is an important reason why Cummings should have stayed put. And he, like all senior government advisers, will have been well aware of this."

//....i have not heard anyone calling for the three

Very true. But when I last looked none of them was the PM's most senior advisor and none of them was instrumental in pushing for the very lockdown which they breached.

Spot on, NJ.
Fcc...Get off his back? Dear god....if people don't stay on the backs of those abusing their positions of power for personal benefit your country is going to be in a bigger mess than it is now.

You've already significantly increased the death rate in my country by your government's shamefully slow action at the start of this pandemic. Your attitude makes it even worse. Wake up.

[brainiac]

He should have been asked why his wife couldn't drive if his eyesight was dodgy. And he must have stopped for petrol somewhere.

Can you expand on that, gness?

[gness]

I was hoping for that question, Brainiac. Seems unlikely but perhaps she can't. Will have to find out... :-)

He thinks he may have stopped for petrol but can't quite remember. Bit like when he said he and Boris had a chat about what he had been doing but neither could quite remember what had been said. Couldn't make it up could you. It'd be funny if it wasn't so serious and damaging to the country.
