If you have the virus you should stay at home, but if you do think of a reason to go out, you are only allowed to drive up to 260 miles. :-| Knowing how much Pelmet likes polls he will be angry to know 68% of Brits (including most Tory voters) consider Dominic Cummings to have broken the lockdown rules. Poll by YouGov....he likes them. ;-) Arch pro-Tory Julia Hartley-Brewer is angry too. Dope :D ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdbrain Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Bulletguy - 2020-05-23 8:35 PM Meantime....back on thread topic. Cummings ignored coronavirus lockdown rules for SECOND time to visit parents. Spotted with his wife in Houghall Woods near the family’s Durham home two weeks after the first sighting. Fellow walkers said they were taken aback to see the Prime Minister’s senior official so far from London at the height of the lockdown on April 19. Government was thrown into chaos yesterday after we reported that Mr Cummings broke lockdown rules to self-isolate with his family in the North East of England. Downing Street said the PM’s chief adviser had needed his relatives to help with childcare after he and his wife Mary Wakefield fell ill. But the claims were mired in confusion after it emerged that the couple continued to look after their four-year-old son themselves in Durham. The PCC from neighbouring Northumbria has demanded the Prime Minister sack his chief adviser. Kim McGuinness said: “Travelling 260 miles with a deadly, infectious virus while the Government is pleading with the nation to stay home and limit the spread is a level of irresponsibility so dangerous it is at the point of criminality.” She added: “The Prime Minister should stop delaying, do the right thing and sack him.” I agree....but Johnson won't. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/dominic-cummings-ignored-coronavirus-lockdown-18302526 Oh good ... Is this the second wave of China Virus guff we were expecting ... Its the families of the haters I feel sorry for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartO Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I was listening to the Radio 4 coverage of this issue this morning. There are acknowledged facts about one journey made to Durham in late March, said by DC to have been made when his wife had COVID-19 and he expected to go down with it, so they took themselves to Durham where his parents had spare room (in a separate property) and younger family members were available to give support - which they did, for example dropping off shopping. There might therefore be exceptional (and valid) reasons for that journey; they were worried they might both be ill and have no extended family in London to look after their young child. There are other eye witness reports of sighting of DC in Durham some time later and in a tourist town 30 miles away - but these are unsubstantiated and have been denied. Prominent people have expressed opinons that DC should resign or be sacked including a scientist member of SAGE and a Conservative MP - but it turns out the SAGE member's family are big Labour supporters and the Tory MP had personal scores to settle with DC. So we have those with a personal score to settle and Labour supporters (and other Opposition activists) wanting DC fired but BoJo wants him to stay. It looks like in the absence of anything more clearly incriminating, DC is going to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Yes apparently he has been here. Not only did he break the rules by travelling up and down the country with the virus at least once, he has had a nice day out by the River Tees down at Barnard Castle and the retired teacher who spotted him has proof it was him as he put his car registration number into his computer and its still in his history apparently. I think I was in Barnard Castle that day. What a pity I didnt "run" into him. (lol) So not only did he flout the rules, he took the piss and went out for a trip out to an area that is actively discouraging day trippers due to its vulnerable elderly population. if he needed child care. Why not just get his sister or niece to come and pick up the child and take it safely back up to Durham. Also your not telling me that the government could not have arranged a private car to take the kid up to Durham. Even cry baby Brexiteer Steve Baker is calling for him to go! https://news.sky.com/story/dominic-cummings-should-go-first-senior-tory-breaks-ranks-over-top-aides-lockdown-breaches-11993712 Looks like Voldermort is on a sticky wicket here.

malc d Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 He's an interesting character, according to Wiki . Quotes : Says EU referendum was a dumb idea He's not a Tory. When appointed he said Tory MPs largely do not care about poorer people, or the NHS. Has expressed concerns that both Labour and Tory governments ignored the north of England. ( … and it seems he doesn't like Nigel Farage ). Seems to me his problem is his arrogance and contempt for the press, for Parliament, and the publics concerns about what he has done. It means the press is hardly likely to let him off with anything. Statements issued anonymously from No. 10 continue to back him ( even undermining the police in Durham ) - but they may well have been dictated by him. So - interesting to see how it all turns out. My guess is he will stay. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well there is are two simple solutions to check. Lets see the Retired teachers history. If he did indeed search the reg number of Dominic Cummings car then he can prove it. What about Cummings mobile records? Assuming it was on his movements could be traced but I guess he is too smart for that. Anyway it doesnt matter now. Busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like in the absence of anything more clearly incriminating, DC is going to stay. How much more 'clearly incriminating' do you want Stuart? :-S Scotlands chief MO, Dr Calderwood broke the lockdown rule by visiting her second home and had to go, SAGE scientist Neil Ferguson broke lockdown rule yet never even left his home and he had to go. Cummings flagrantly breached lockdown, his wife lied by claiming he was too ill to get out of bed yet amazingly able to drive 260 up north to his parents taking the virus, or symptoms of with him, and worse still, Downing street attempted to suppress reports of Cummings having been spoken to by Durham police. Incidentally one of the eye witnesses was a neighbour of his parents, didn't deny it, and i've not seen any others that have since denied so i don't know where you've drawn that conclusion from.....unless you meant Cummings denied anyone saw him? Well he would wouldn't he?!! Though judging by his arrogant attitude when arriving back at his home in London he doesn't give a stuff. Of course Johnson wants him to stay. Without him he knows he's doomed. Forget searching for 'Labour supporters' or 'activists'....there are an increasing number of Tory MP's and supporters calling for his dismissal and if Johnson doesn't take action he will sink with him. Johnson is in a catch 22 but of his own doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
