Incapable? I thought he did a grand job of telling the faux-outraged MSM to sling their hooks.

He didn't answer any questions, just waffled and said wash your hands a lot.

 

Are you actually Mark Francois, because this is the response he would have said lol

[Kadilo]

Lying through his teeth. Just happened to stop the only two times he got spotted. Drove 30 miles to test his eyes ????

 

What will be his downfall eventually will be his arrogance and lack of compassion. He had a chance to show so humility for those who had loved ones die alone and funerals they couldn't attend. Not one ounce of regret. He was only concerned about telling how he stayed within the law. 
 

On a positive note the restrictions are now lifted. Whatever Johnson says he has lost all credibility and it is open season with no retribution. The Police are now powerless and there is no point in pleading for support and common sense. It’s all gone along with his judgement.

Francois would never use the word 'faux' as it looks far too foreign

Well there ya go, a storm in a teacup. Dominic Cummings certainly came out of the interview with more credibility than the Tory hating press. As for Beth Rigby, what a disgrace that woman is, she is there to report the news not to give her personal political views, as somebody said "she is a 10W bulb in a 60W fitting" 

Time to move on chaps, nothing to see here.????????????

Tory hating press, sure that is why daily mail, telegraph and others are on the case.

Whatever becomes of this story, I applaud British people overall for expecting their leaders to observe same rules as the general public.  Maybe a bit of legacy from all pulling together WW2

There are fears that the British people will no longer observe lockdown rules due to Cummings actions. Not a bit of it, they know that this scumbag is beneath them and will go the extra yard to prove that they are better than him.

[Logosone]

Russell Martin tweeted: 'So are you telling us that the lockdown is now officially over and we can do whatever we like whenever we like? Because if Dominic Cummings can break the rules with impunity, the rest of us can too.'  

 

Meanwhile, surfers in Woolacombe, Dorset, claimed they had every right to defy appeals to stay at home from locals at tourist spots, with Jen, 26, from Warwick, telling MailOnline: ‘If Dominic Cummings can travel from London to Durham during the height of lockdown, then really no one can say anything.’

 

Her friend, Liching, 26, from London, added: ‘I was a little apprehensive of what the locals would think and worried we might upset them but I've not left my house, except for daily walks, since lockdown started. I feel that if Dominic Cummings thought it was acceptable to drive that distance in lockdown, no one can get upset at us for driving now when the government have also said that it's ok.’

Whilst i am a supporter of Boris, he needs to stop, think about the country first

What Cummings did was in the interests of his family, which most men would do.

Now he helped make the rules, which are meant for everyone, regardless of who they are.

He has caused furor in the country, and he should do the honourable thing and resign.

Or Boris should step up and sack him.

Was having an afternoon out at Castle Barnard in the interests of his family?

Come on Phil, you are better than a BBC journalist. You may not like the guy but he didn't have an afternoon out at Barnard Castle he drove to the outskirts of the village. You can argue that that was not the right thing to do but please do not embellish the story just to sensationalise it. There is too much of that happening in the UK.

Boris is not reliable.

It was claimed yesterday that Covid had impaired Boris vision requiring him to wear glasses more.

In 2014 Boris admitted in a D.Mail article to being blind as a bat.

Cummings on return to London decided to edit a blog he had written in 2019 to include prediction of coronovirus.

Can't disagree with that and it also show (like or not) if you are a public figure you have to be whiter than white.

 

 

The guy who drove 200 miles to Cornwall for fresh air will have got away with a warning and no one will clammer for his resignation.

Was he there ?

Yes, admitted it himself yesterday. 60 mile round trip to "test his eyes". 555 Also had a stroll along the riverbank. Stopped on the way back to let his son have a toilet break. Everyone got out of the car and, Cummings muttered as an anecdote "have a little play with my son". You couldn't make it up. Oh, actually he did. 555

Falling out with the neighbours, never a good idea. Expect s**t parcels through his letterbox.

 

 

I can imagine the type of neighbours he has. 

 

Guardian reading, Europhile Labour voters. Virtue signallers, desperate to help the media in their quest to be judge, jury and executioner of the evil Brexiteer.

 

Same as Boris' neighbours. Sniveling little panty sniffers, huddled up in the dark recording a domestic argument through the walls and then selling it to a tabloid newspaper ????.

 

Pathetic specimens. The mighty Dominic Cummings will soar above them all like an eagle, amused at the rats scurrying around beneath him looking for scraps.

Nonsense. Lots of parents stuck to the rules. Cummings can't even stick to the rules about how advisers should behave. He's dangerous - some sort of fascist plant trying to turn the UK into trumpland. See P Cadwalladr.

[Rookiescot]

The lockdown is going to be impossible to enforce now. Public perception will be if its OK for Cummings its OK for me.

This is going to be a millstone around Johnsons neck for a long time to come.

He was the mastermind behind Labours attempt to win the GE, he cost Labour their biggest defeat since the 1930s, he took the electorate for fools, they paid the price.

Whereas Cummings was responsible for one of the Tories greatest victories.

That's the British press for you, they were after his head, they didn't even squeeze one of his pimples.

Cummings answered every question put to him and when he was interrupted never once did he say "can I finish" he did what was best for his wife and child and never once put anyone else in danger.

I think his performance will have won him a lot of friends last night, of course not the 'skin him alive brigade'

Quite. Nothing mighty about it. It was a car crash event which seriously backfired as they tore him a new a.rsehole. Typical bully boy who when confronted looked like a little scared boy. 
 

Personally I along with many other will be pleased the lockdown has come to a premature end and we can now get back to normal life. Any second spike will be Cummings legacy.

Monsters? No. Cretins? Definitely.

 

These muppets (and I include the media scrum in that) were probably all tweeting #bekind a few months ago after Caroline Flack took her own life. Look at them now trying to make this guys life unbearable. Total hypocrites.

 

I didn't see much social distancing going on when they circled him going about his daily business. Maybe they should resign for breaking the guidelines? You think they will?

Yeah he’s particularly popular among those who didn’t see their families buried due to his and his bosses rules but he saw his own situation as In “exceptional circumstances“

More likely win him an oscar.

When did he develop a stammer? Couldn't make eye contact with anyone. Stuck with the prepared script. Failed to answer questions.
