This eyesight lark is being milked. I took it to mean that his answer was that he wasn't feeling 100% and that he simply flummoxed the reply during a 90 min unprecedented grilling. In the same circumstances who wouldn't? So were you unsure whether or not you were fit to drive you would take your 4 year old son on a 60 mile round trip to find out? Thus putting your son's life and the lives of other road users at risk? If Cummings thought he was possibly unfit to drive he should not have driven at all until he was sure. This whole 'test drive' thing smells of a hastily thought up excuse for what was actually a lockdown breaking family day out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling bulls**t on that one. I just checked the list of those calling for his resignation, then I chose 6 of them at random and checked the way their constituencies voted in the referendum. Five out of six came from areas that voted in favour of leaving, by the following percentages: Thurrock 72% Carlisle 60% Rugby 56.7% Poole 58.2% Waveney 62.9% Only one of those I looked at (York) voted in favour of remaining, by 58%. So unless my random choice was totally unrepresentative, I reckon you're just making stuff up. Can you provide evidence of your claim? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 7by7 Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Logosone said: Yes, he should have left the eyesight thing out, even if true. That the inherent risk of the 'poor eyesight went for a test drive' line was not obvious to him must be due to the time pressure he was under when drafting the statement. He'd had at least two days in which to draft it! Of course, when this story first broke on Friday had he done the same as others who have been caught out breaking the lockdown rules and held his hands up, admitted he was wrong and apologised for breaking the rules he helped to draft, then this whole affair would have been wrapping fish and chips by Saturday. (If the chippies were open!) Instead, he let Downing Street lie on his behalf (or instruction?) and when those lies were exposed made a feeble attempt to justify himself. Before anyone asks what these lies were, I have already listed some of them, but will do so again to save you going back to look for them: Cummings and his family were self isolating at their London home when they were already in Durham; that Cummings and his family had not visited Barnard Castle; that Cummings' father had not been spoken to by Durham police. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 1 hour ago, 7by7 said: Yes, I read the press; all of it, left, right and centre. Do I believe what they say? Not always, but when they're all reporting the same facts it's difficult not to! When an MP expresses an opinion, regardless of their party, I believe that they hold that opinion; even if I disagree with it. Yes, it is widely known that Cummings' arrogant, abrasive nature has made him enemies, both in the party and amongst Downing Street staff. My obvious point was that, despite desperate attempts by you and others, to convince everyone that this is a plot dreamt up by his Remainer enemies to discredit Cummings, the fact is that it is not just his Remainer enemies in the party who are calling for his resignation; many Brexiteer former supporters of him are as well. Mirror? No, most of the quotes I have used to support my arguments have come from the Mail and the Telegraph. A deliberate tactic, I admit. Done to eliminate the argument that my sources are anti Tory, anti Brexit, PC, lefties and so biased. Obviously hasn't worked for you as you seem to think I exclusively read and quote from the Mirror! Next time, click on the link to discover the source; then you wont make such a fool of yourself. People may not be aware of this, but the editor at the Daily Mail was replaced by staunch remainer Geordie Greig. So any argument suggesting the DM is pro-Brexit but anti-Cummings is no longer valid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" The FT reported that the Mail would also back no deal rather than Remain if a second Brexit referendum was called." https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/geordie-greig-says-265-advertisers-have-come-back-to-daily-mail-under-his-editorship/ The man that Geordie Greig replaced - the supremely vile Paul Dacre who devoted his last 3 years to a "Hate the immigrants" campaign for the brainless- had gone over the score. His boss is just a money man, he could see that he was toast, so he dumped him. Has it occurred to you that a few leading Tory papers have swung away from hard Brexit. It appears that they are worried by the glazed eyed zeal of Cummings (And the inadequacy of his Boris puppet), and the road he is taking. They have woken up to the fact that a hard Brexit would trash the economy. However along with their venal greed, they are not stupid. No point in tax avoidance if your income falls so far that you no longer pay much tax on it anyway. The Sun lost 68 million last year I believe.

I have seen nothing to indicate that the Mail has since changed to supporting Remain. After all, they supported the Tories last December and their front page after polling day was And what about the Telegraph? Supported Brexit in 2016, vociferously opposed May's deal, supported Johnson's leadership campaign and the Tories in the election and as far as I can see haven't changed their stance since; unless you know different? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then making up some cock and bull nonsense/ lie about testing his eyesight on a public road, endangering other drivers, but it just happened to be his wife's birthday. Then there's his lie about predicting the corona virus on his blog by adjusting the date. But Boris can't sack him because he's incapable of acting as PM on his own. Pathetic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @twocatsmac, isn't time you logged out and let your alter ego log back in? BTW, unlike you I am not able to sit on the steps of a 7Eleven drinking Chang, even if I were inclined to so do. No 7Elevens in the UK and even if there were I doubt they'd sell Chang. The only place near me I could buy Chang is the local Thai restaurant; if they weren't closed due to lockdown. Rather drink TEA or any other draught bitter anyway, but if I must drink Thai lager I prefer Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
