Dominic Cummings

[Rich Tea Wellin]

What part of the initial lockdown did you struggle with?

Well personally I’ve been isolating from about 2 weeks before the government started moving.

And then they tried protecting big business and insurance companies by providing unclear and woolly guidance on places like pubs. Every step has been unclear. How anyone can argue that it hasn’t is beyond me.

I get that it’s not hard to stay indoors but most people are thick and to be honest, in what the government deem as the worst thing since ww2, I don’t think clarity is asking too much from our ‘leaders’

Thanks for taking the time to reply but you failed to answer the question

What bit do you class as the start of the lockdown? Because it took the government about 3 goes to make any of it legal or legible.

The bit where the Prime minister outlined the rules then it was put into legislation

Without wasting all of my evening, just a few:

People had confusion over if they could drive for their exercise - police were sending drones up and shaming people
What essentials meant - some senior copper threatened to check everyone’s baskets and I think I remember some place refusing to let people buy Easter eggs.

In fact, I have a vague memory that the government even had to update their guidance because people weren’t clear on what they could and couldn’t do.

Sounds like the only people confused were the police and you and your vague memory.

The non-committal of the government over all of this. And not just after cummings, from the very start, means that we've had to guess at what the rules are and interpret them as we see fit.

No ones expecting this government to be clear and consistent about anything.

Yep, their rules follow existing behaviour rather than lead it.

Well, I commend you for being honest about your inability to understand basic rules.

Yeah, you’re right, the government decided to clarify what the rules were solely so I understood them better.

Still defending them? Relentless

Quite, as you said most people are thick

Indeed.

Now, I know most of us have embarrassing family members: yer racist nan and dodgy uncle, etc. But I’ve been reading about Cummings father in law. A rich, batty toff with some nasty social darwinism ideas not unlike Dom’s “herd immunity” eugenics thoughts, that reminds me of Roderick Spode from PG Wodehouse. Like this one, that could have been written by the Daily Mash I think it helps put Cummings “ man of the people” act into perspective. He’s as privileged as Spaffer Johnson himself. But keep doffing yer caps...There’s more, but this is the funniest/weirdest.

Over a million people have signed the petition for Dominic Cummings to sacked, this is a clear indication that Boris cannot move on until Cummings is sacked, one million people can’t be wrong.

More than 27 million were in December

I wasn’t aware this was a thing.

A lot of things - such as how certain boarders board - makes a lot more sense knowing about this.

Maybe so, but Boris is gonna ride this like the old saying, today’s news, tomorrow’s chip paper.

Of course. Straight out of the stone/trump playbook. They’ve been at it for years. But some people on here still think tHe GoVeRnMeNtS iNsTrUcTiOnS wErE cLeAr.

Not only were they unclear but they were unclear on purpose.

The thread has reached the point where Novara media is being used as a source

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Not too many sources of news to rely on for those of us non-right wingers, sadly.

Why is it not a media source?

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

It’s not owned by a billionaire non dom.

How on earth can it even expect to produce news with that kind of handicap?

You're probably not very good at the internet if you're struggling to find other sources of Cummings criticism right now

Which isn't the point.

...and if you can't work the internet just turn on the tv and watch the news (BBC, ITN, C4, Sky, take your pick)
