Dominic Cummings

[Currywurst and Chips]

NU bringing it for the MB OG's

[Nice Username]

The whole testing his eyesight on his missus birthday what a load of old bollocks.

Experts disagree. A scientist I saw on the news said that driving is one of the most effective ways to check your vision is working well, so that part of his story does check out at least. Going to the castle seems like it was a mistake simply because so many people have now jumped on it. Loads of us have broken rules during this, it's hypocritical to claim otherwise. Even if you've been sticking to the rules personally, the guy is a senior government adviser and obviously privileges come with that role.

You are either a pretty poor WUM; or sadly, a very gullible individual.

(Quote): the guy is a senior government adviser and obviously privileges come with that role.

Do they?

Care to show us the evidence of where these 'obvious privileges' are documented anywhere?

Or, like Cummings and Johnson, do you just 'make things up' to fit your agenda?

The way that I and most others see it, Cummings SHOULD be sacked. In fact any decent person would resign. However, Cummings is clearly anything but a decent person. He is pond life.

Moreover, there is every chance that the little weirdo is still in his job, because Johnson simply hasn't got the balls to sack him.

One can only wonder why?

Every time I come back here I remember why I don't post much any more: the bullying. Anyone who disagrees is labelled 'gullible' or a 'WUM' - what happened to people being able to disagree? Good to know you don't respect people in higher positions than you, no wonder the world is going to hell. Let me put this simply for you: some people are in such important jobs that obviously the law doesn't apply in the same way that it would for me and you. Edgy insults like you're throwing out don't help anyone, and I'd appreciate an apology.

NU is on a WUM mate. Best to ignore him.

Classic NU but yawn anyway.

[Dunners]

Typical bird-brained contributions from NU.

[Constanza]

Nice to see a balanced view of Cummings activities - everyone wants to knock him of his perch.

[Admin]

Typical NU. Winging it as usual.

[Constanza]

Nice to see him back - thought he was extinct

[Nice Username]

NuneatonO's, it is with regret that I have to announce that you have indeed been comprehensively EAGLE'd...but that is irrelevant (as indeed are you), this entire mini-display of humour and power was simply a preview: I am back, and it's time for this board to be restored to its former glories.

Further details of new catchphrases, nicknames and projects to follow.

[StillSpike]

Look, I disagree with the stance that NU has taken on this, but he's entitled to that opinion - even if it's entirely wrong. Opinions are what this board is all about after all, and like arseholes, we've all got one. Obviously Cummings is an utter wrongun, and the most worrying aspect of the whole affair is that the Prime Minister is prepared to risk so much - including the health of the nation and people's lives - to defend this unelected bureaucrat. Not really sure how NU can chirp away at the rest of us about this, but fair play to him for trying to ruffle some feathers and get a debate going.

Can someone tell me who Orient's manager is so I can make a fun joke about his/her name?

B Rating needs to be between 11.3 and 11.5 before I take this seriously.

Once again, pure unsubstantiated rhetoric.

If you consider my post bullying, then you must have led a very sheltered life.

Just to pick up on a few points from your diabtribe:

Good to know you don't respect people in higher positions than you,
That's actually incorrect. For example, I respect our Emergency Services; and most definitely respect workers within our NHS (not least because my Wife is a nurse)! I also respect the guys who cleared our bins yesterday. The list of people that I respect is endless. However, I don't quite understand your point about 'higher positions than you'. Are you suggesting these are the only people that one should respect? Or are you suggesting that I respect the Prime Minister of England - who is a proven liar; or indeed his unelected advisor - who is yet another proven liar?

Do you seriously 'doff cap, tug forelock' for these utter charlatans?

no wonder the world is going to hell
Is the World voing to hell? Well, certainly not all of it. A number of countries that I visit through my work, are most certainly not 'going to hell'; in fact, anywhere but! Australia, Canada and New Zealand to name just three that spring instantly to mind.

Let me put this simply for you: some people are in such important jobs that obviously the law doesn't apply in the same way that it would for me and you
You can put it as simply as you like (isn't that somewhat derogatory - should I deem that as you bullying me?). Now, it's the second time that you have mentioned this; and again, I'm going to ask you for evidence of those LAWS which do not apply to Government Advisors? Please refer me to where you have gleaned that information from; because, quite simply, I think you are making it up. I am however more than happy to be proved wrong. I will await your response to this particular point in great anticipation.

Edgy insults like you're throwing out don't help anyone
It wasn't an insult - more a statement of fact.

and I'd appreciate an apology.
I'd appreciate answers instead of rhetoric!

But life's a bitch and then you die.

[NuneatonO's]

Oh, so he is a WUM afterall.

How terribly amusing.

I suspected as much but you never know with these brainwashed Tory automatons!

What a cad.

What a bounder!

Yawn Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ignored from now on.

He had a "Boarding machine" before anyone knew they existed.

“Experts”? So you think a good way to test if your eyesight is up to driving is to get into a car and drive for 30 miles? With your wife and child in the f*cking car? To a well-known beauty spot? On your wife’s birthday? Ok.

Even the DVLA tweeted immediately afterwards that they “absolutely do NOT recommend doing this”.

[Nice Username]

I don't see how it was less safe just because it was her birthday.

[Dunners]

Because you'd be extra distracted by singing her Happy Birthday twice.

[faldO]

Emily Maitlis reprimanded by BBC bosses who say she breached BBC's impartiality rules with her rant about Cummings on Newsnight yesterday.

[StillSpike]

And yet Laura Kuenssberg happily parrots every briefing from the "Number 10 source" (that's DC) as a solid fact and she gets away scot free. Extraordinary.

[tuffers#1]

If Emily needs a bit of Rough to deal with

At least post some evidence or a link, or is it just classic whataboutery?

[StillSpike]

Not whataboutery at all, just pointing out the shocking inconsistency in the BBC's treatment of its journalists.

Plus there's not a word she uttered that's refutable. But you carry on defending them if you like.
