Cummings has resigned. Let's move on and hold the fuckers to account for everything else.
Edit - I am sure I just read that but now can't see it

Even if he has, ultimately what does it matter? I don't see how it would actually change anything, apart from a feeling of vindication for many people- which is worth something I guess.

Yes vindication really is a domain of the left

Maybe because lying and deceit have already been allocated to the right.

So you are saying that the the 20+ Conservative MPs (and counting) & people like Julie Hartley Brewer are all 'lefties'? Interesting take.

"regret" must be now the most commonly used word in government over the last few months, its actually becoming the new "sorry", the word they desperately want to avoid saying- so they need to find another word to keep using.

I think Alistair Campbell took first f dibs - Cummings is a very poor imitation and should take lessons from the socialist bullshitter

Nicholas Clegg liked the word sorry
The mental gymnastics people are going through to defend Cummings is quite remarkable.

Its like a contest of how many other random people can you mention who did things years ago to deflect from what is happening here and now. Its also a sure sign that they know there is no defence, there is just too much clear info- and therefore deflection & whataboutery are the last available position to try and take. It is kind of fascinating how desperate they are to protect this guy. All sense has gone- politics is now just the same as religion, you can do whatever you want is you're "one of us".

Clearly I am not. You talk about this as if it’s new and exciting. It’s neither - don’t worry he will go then everyone is happy then he does the full Mandleson and makes a return or four
I suspect this actually is a game to see how badly the government cab behave and the impact on its popularity - if Johnson still has only a small negative rating it’s actually very encouraging for him isn’t it?

The left wing media continue to make a story out of nothing

Yes, clearly a left wing newspaper looking for vindication

The majority of the as you call it right wi g press and certainly the Murdoch wing have always been opposed to Johnson. The times and the MOS were staunch remainers and even the Mail has never supporting Cummings

Pissing about in the middle of a pandemic for shits and giggles. That's a stretch even for you.

Yeah I was a bit taken aback by that one even from this guy- 60k+ dead, worst death rate on the planet and its "actually a game" just to see what happens.

Don’t be naive - every party wants power and will exploit every situation. That is why the Labour Party is appalled at Cummings - not a member of Parliament - and far less so of it’s. own two members who have broken these rules

There is no analysis in deaths in equal measurement - the statistical analysis will have to take equal measures - obesity ratios, age of population, diabetes elements to really say whose “done the worst” again it’s childlike tub thumping populism - I’ve seen your inane ratings on twitter and your absurd links to very bogus “facts” to make a point. This really is a game to you and you love every minute of it

Nick Ferrari’s LBC phone-in gave me a chuckle this morning, one of the calls went something like this:
Ranting Caller: “The account Cummings gave yesterday was a pack of lies, we know that because he’s already a PROVEN LIAR!”
NF: “OK, how do we know that?”
RC: “Because he put the £350m on the side of the bus of course!”
NF: “Ok, respectfully, may I ask whether you voted remain in the referendum?”
RC: “well… yes, I did”
NF: “And again respectfully, do you think that your position on Brexit might be influencing your judgement on this matter?”
RC: “errrr… yes”
Laugh? I nearly choked on my scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

So, the WHO now stating its looking increasingly unlikely a second wave will take place.
Even they now seem to be coming round to the idea the rona is almost beaten. Good news

Everything I saw about that was criticising the stupidity of it also, but this would get more attention because the people on the bridge aren't also the ones deciding on these restrictions in the first place

The hypocrisy is staggering - soon we will have teachers terrified of the infection rate outraged they may have to to go and teach and instead board a crowded plane to a Greece

Great news.
Read some papers on coronaviruses in general, not Covid-19 specifically, that say they tend to die out in spring and come back in the winter so that will be the next concern if we're clear of any second wave.
Hopefully by then even if we have no vaccine we at least have a treatment that means its not more of a concern than things like flu.
It's utterly absurd that we have cabinet ministers actually telling the nation that a 60 mile round trip to test your eyesight is normal and acceptable. Even though it's against the law.
The sheer contempt they hold for us is ludicrous. Yet their loyal followers can't see it.
