What's the world coming to, piers Morgan again captures the thoughts of the nation

He should be in the shit, but he won't be. It'll be quickly brushed under the carpet, most people don't know who Dom is, despite the power he has.

I doubt the other parties will let this go so easily

 

[Tony Towner]

They do what they want and then just lie. Nothing will come of it and Johnson will just hide again

Again? Has he been seen this week? Maybe PMQ's?

They are having a week off, so doesn't even need to do that

 

[Trips]

Just PMQs

 

[AndyWolves]

A cynical part of me wonders if this has all been stage managed to get people moving around, buying things etc as way of lifting the lockdown without publicly admitting it.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It's not that Cummings is a massive, selfish prick that bothers me. It's that the government will just be allowed to lie about it, cover it up and let hin get away with it while most of the mainstream press happily go along with it.

Also the hypocrisy of the scientist having to quit for breaking lock down rules while the PM's advisor is allowed to lie his way out of it. It just proves, yet again, that scientists should be prepared to be thrown under the bus over the government mishandling of the pandemic.

This. So much this.

It's ok for all you (us) to stay at home and follow the rules. It's ok to be told you can't visit relatives, and you can't visit loved ones in their homes, their care homes, and in hospital. You can't hold your dying relatives hand.

And yet Jenryck is ok to travel to various homes he has, and Dom can do this. The shifting in the tale is phenomenal. This morning they changed the story again, saying that the cummings were in a different building, yet the official police stament is clear:

Officers made contact with the owners of that address who confirmed that the individual in question was present and was self-isolating in part of the house. In line with national policing guidance, officers explained to the family the guidelines around self-isolation and reiterated the appropriate advice around essential travel.”

This is now lying in public office. Trust in this government is now shown to be completely eroded. They are no longer capable of being honest.

Which brings us back to the question what else are they lying about? They misled about this, about Jenryck, about Boris being ill. How much more?

It's not allowing cummings to get away with it. It is the prime minister and his office being directly involved in covering it up.

So, any particular reason why this child couldn't be dropped off with Cummings' wife's brother, who also lives in London? Anybody?

 

[Sniffer]

Pratt Hancock was speechless at a man opening the door of his own house and letting a person from another household in. He even wanted the police to look into the matter.

but....

A man who had the disease, with his wife and child in tow, travel 260 miles to another household and stay for a period it’s ok?

No double standards whatsoever. I don’t care if a law has been broken or not it’s just plain wrong.

 

[leedswolf]

The utter contempt that the Mekon headed tea-cosy wearing twat (along with the Tories) holds us all in is undeniable. Johnson is gutless, so no chance of any sacking either.

@MrMichaelSpicer

govt ministers keeping a 2m distance from their own backbones this morning

The best comment on this I think.

 

[Kenny]

so no chance of any sacking either.

even if he is sacked, I reckon that wouldn't be a normal sacking and he would still be there pulling the strings in some way.

Dominic Raab

It’s reasonable and fair to ask for an explanation on this. And it has been provided: two parents with Coronavirus, were anxiously taking care of their young child. Those now seeking to politicise it should take a long hard look in the mirror.


Fuck off with this shit.

We are seeing the official confirmation that Dominic Cummings runs the Goverment this morning as MP's to shit scared to stand up to him are doing their duty to defend their leader.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Starmer will rip Raab and Johnson to pieces over this. And he will do it politely and forensically so the braying hordes on the other side of the house will be powerless to stop it. And Cummings will still stay in post as a certain gutless wanker will keep him.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It beggars belief that in the middle of a pandemic that has killed over 55,000 people in the UK, the actual Health Secretary would tweet in defence of a lockdown breach against his own department's advice.

I truly hope that one day these bunch of self serving cunts get held to account for their actions but I won't hold my breath.

But it is a political matter. The Government set guidelines for the entire country and one of their own broke those rules.

With the scrum of media outside his house when he went to his car this morning, I'd have been very tempted if he lived in my neighbourhood to call him out publicly from a social 2m distance (they might have needed to use the bleep machine)
