As I said in another topic: will those who were vociferous in their condemnation of Sturgeon's support for Dr Catherine Calderwood be equally vociferous here?

 

As most of them are prominent government and Brexit supporters, somehow I doubt it!

 

I thought that you'd enjoy this news story ????

 

Perhaps now they will finally reverse Brexit?

Methinks Boris is sitting on Starmer's performance as DPP for a later date ????

 

I would imagine so. 

 

Labour haven't learned their lessons.

 

The Kinnocks, Blair and Brown, Corbyn, Abbott, etc etc. So much baggage.

 

And now, they bring in someone with his own!

[jimmyswale]

Peston quoting a senior unattributed cabinet minster that if the Durham Police's story of the second trip stands up then it's probably curtains for Dom. Starmer and Labour would no doubt hope he stays on at the moment at least well into next week. 

 

Sir Roger Gale staunch right wing Brexiteer want him out now.  Sir Peter Bone on LBC also saying the same.

With Boris having an eighty seat majority I don't have to convince anyone, nor does Dom Cummings, the lefty press tried to get rid of Priti Patel, that went well now didn't it.????????

let's see if I get it right.... because the tories have a 80 seat lead and because some people have not been nice to him/them they can brake the law and do as they please...  and they call it democracy 555

Indeed.

 

And the same media baying for Cummings resignation are ignoring Stephen Kinnock MP who went to see his dubious millionaire career politician parents, seeming without any justifiable reason.

He is certainly a controversial character. And I would imagine many in the Conservative Party, cabinet, and parliament don't like him and his apparent hold over the PM.

 

But, like him or not, trying to force a resignation in the court of public opinion, by hypocritical left wing rags, is nonsense. 

Keep reading …. up to now already 4 Conservatives MP are asking his resignation , some are leading figures …., and it is only 10.13 clock in U.K. some Conservative MP's are still  on their breakfast …...

UK coronavirus adviser resigns after reports his lover visited during lockdown

"I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms," he said.

"I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic.

"The government guidance is unequivocal, and is there to protect all of us."

SCOTLAND: Top Health Official Resigns After Violating Her Own Social Distancing Guidelines

“While there are reasons for what I did, they do not justify it and they were not legitimate reasons to be out of my home,”

 

 

One was an adulterer whose married lover broke the rules, and probably lied to her husband, to visit him for sex. Not exactly enhancing his credibility! And he and his lover have probably got some other problems now too!

 

The other visited her second home, twice, without any justifiable reason, other than she wanted to. And she had to be pushed.

 

Neither have the "balls" you seem to applaud. Although the former was certainly using his!

I'm sure that number will grow. I doubt Cummings has very many friends outside of the PM's inner circle. 

 

Even if they don't get him out, it will weaken his position a bit.

 

They ain't doing it out of morality or a sense of right!

Durham Police are sailing very close to the wind if any of the nonsense attributed to them proves to have been leaked as suspected.

Ignored? He is a lowly opposition MP and yet he as all over the media few weeks back. Cummings is a far bigger scalp and is the architect of the government's catastrophic COVID failure. Kinnock isn't responsible for the UK having the worst COVID death rate in Europe.

The fact of the matter is Scotland's former chief medical office said she wouldn't resign, and only did so after having a subsequent discussion with Scotland's First Minister. So, no she certainly didn't take any initiative.

 

The Professor may be more worried about the impending fall out from his adultery, for him and his married lover. Certainly doubt he's worried about morals and right from wrong.

But what if it is the truth? Let's be honest, the PM has led a life saturated in lies and deceit. Why do you think his government would be any different?

The thing all these fanboys either don't realise or choose to ignore is that DC is laughing at them. These little people who have been sticking to the rules, even as their closest loved ones are dying alone just down the road, or being laid to rest with barely a handful of mourners- the little people are accepting the harsh restrictions the government imposed. But not DC - he can do as he chooses and his fanboys cheer him on! Kim Jong Un must be looking on with amazement.
