Cummings appears to be an arrogant educated idiot, and people I've met over the years who are of a similar personna quite frankly are simply not worth bothering with, he will just do as he pleases which was blatantly obvious when he was on Sky news last night.

Boris Johnson has backed his key adviser Dominic Cummings

[Doctor Gollum]

Fair play to Boris for not simply telling all the journalists to do one.

It's all I can do not to throw summat at the telly

[Doctor Gollum]

People are busy stabbing each other all over the place, yet one person repositioned themselves in order to pre empt a potential childcare issue is utterly abhorrent. WTF

People are mental

Still, two sensible questions so far, so not a total bust.

The way it came across to me was that, in his opinion, Boris thought that DC had done nothing wrong. He would not answer questions that were put, quite legitimately, about the cases of other officials who had to resign for similar behaviour. He came across quite Trump like, and I don't think he's done himself any favours.
If he thinks it will now disappear, then he forgets how efficient the press are at digging away until they get to the dirty bits. Quite surprising when you think how often they've caught him with his pants down.

I am sure you would present just as favourably if you had been continuously harassed by the 'media' for the last few days

We all know what Cummings is: A very unpleasant egomaniac. But that is not the point, the point is did he break the rules or not?

Not sure how one person moving their family once in order to be near family in case of requiring assistance from said family compares to repeatedly going to a second home for the weekend...

I would say no. But that's without the bias of media influences.

Told you the press don't like being put down on national television. We've already had a time line on BBC news putting him in Durham, Barnard Castle and back in Downing Street, all within the 14 days he should have been isolating. Boris has now brought the spotlight on to himself, a very stupid miscalculation, in my opinion.

Why get personal ? We are not discussing my behaviour  & I have enough sense not to put myself in such a compromising position.

I also like the way Boris threw in the bit about schools. Nothing new, but probably the reason why he was an hour late. Trying desperately to find something other for people to talk about.

Are you telling me it wouldn't have been better to stay in London, and if he got sick to phone the child's aunt or uncle and arrange a collection?  It's not like the couldn't have arranged a car by asking his boss for a small favour. 

Unfortunately all the press attention stops people trusting a word any of them say and we will (in my humble oppinion) see more people pushing the boundaries of the advice and see a spike in deaths (probably)

Exactly, Boris has made a big political mistake distracting attention from the main issues that the government and us are dealing with. A stupid move, and Cummings must go no matter what was the timeline and facts around the case.

We were ALL told, instructed, to STAY AT HOME, and if you or anyone in your household develop symptoms SELF ISOLATE for at least 14 days, and DO NOT TRAVEL.

Hundreds of thousands of us have obeyed the rules, and managed to reduce the R factor. We have made some hard sacrifices, but Cummings thought he was above that and didn’t need to obey the rules so he could drive hundreds of miles with his infected wife, with now the excuse that he needed to consider care for his child if he became infected as well (well yes, travelling for hours with an infected person makes that very possible!!).  So he couldn’t afford emergency child care down in his home if the worst happened, when more humble, not so arrogant, people are faithfully obeying the rules and making even greater sacrifices?!

Not a good day for Boris

[Doctor Gollum]

Not being personal, just highlighting that everyone is very quick to judge and criticise with no tolerance for context or how they themselves would behave in a given situation.

Does being in the public domain give an automatic right to be vilified for doing something that anyone else would have done similarly in the same circumstances?
