this tory mp that apparently broke lockdown rules & is no getting pilloried by the media. what about the press thats outside his home trying to get a statement & take photos of him . are they not committing the same offence . they wasn,t 2mtrs apart.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

They call him 'Demonic' Cummings.

Not a Tory MP though.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Not an MP and never has been. He is more powerful than most MP,s though as senior adviser to Boris.
On the one hand, he is hated by the mainstream media, anyone who is remotely left wing, and even the wet end of the Tory party. All of these have been waiting their chance to bring him down.
On the other hand, if he has done what they are saying he has, he,s a fickin idiot and deserves to be brought down.
We might know by the end of today how it has played out.

The quality of our politicians, elected or otherwise, has never filled me with confidence. Unfortunately, the handling of this pandemic has had them sinking to new lows IMO. 

[Lizzie Zoom]

He's got to go as he has become a political liability to Boris, and a gift to the opposition.

So, go man, go!!

So what would you have done in their position? And what qualifies you or the 'media' to criticise them?

[Doctor Gollum]

To put that another way, who here in his position wouldn't have done the same thing?

There have been far more significant issues in relation to the current situation that haven't been discussed because the 'media' insist on politicising every little nuance.

Quite frankly getting as pissed off with the whole approach now as all the scaremongering bullshit when it started.

If, after 10 weeks people have nothing better to do then perhaps they need a new hobby

Just a personal opinion DG. You have yours and i have mine.

Questions for those who think the "media" are impartially doing their job .....

If he did this hienious crime 7 weeks ago, .....  why is it only being reported now, and not at the time ??

Why is an "anonymous witness" more credible than a man making a public statement ?

Why is the answer given to a question "not acceptable",  does the questioner have the right to only get answers he likes ??

or

Do you, like me, think this is simply the "media" trying to remove someone who does not play their silly little games ?

[Doctor Gollum]

Indeed. What on earth does the opinion of a retired policeman have to do with anything either

Trouble is, once it starts becoming a distraction, people are usually asked to go to stop all the noise. Waiting for the five o'clock news conference (should have been 4). It's Boris tonight and you can bet there won't be many questions about coronavirus.

Which is really defeating the purpose of the briefing.

For some people, the purpose of the briefing will be to get rid of Dominic Cummings.

And that IS the problem.  A complete distraction from what the governments business should be.

Get rid of Cummings and Boris has got rid of the unnecessary distraction

[Doctor Gollum]

They shouldn't be allowed to monopolise the briefing.

If they don't have the maturity to ask pertinent questions, then they shouldn't be allowed to ask questions.
