Dominic Cummings

Within the terms of what he's supposed to be good at, probably the craziest thing is that the guy who's so good at manipulating public opinion either didn't stop to think "How will this look?" or just thought it would never get out. I can't quite imagine the conversation before the day trip to Barnard Castle - "Everyone thinks I'm in London" (maybe even the PM!) "but we'll have a drive and a walk and think no member of the public will recognise me - after all we went to hospital and NHS staff respected patient confidentiality rather than going public to ask why we were in Durham." (What address did they give to the hospital?)

“I cannot in good faith tell them they (his constituents) were all wrong and one senior adviser to the government was right” says resigning Conservative minister @BBC
all in this togerher? dont make me laugh . look at the c unts on the beeches.
You seem quite willing to defend Cummings (without being able to explain why his circumstances were so different to others) but happy to brand others making their own interpretations as cunts
FFS have you nothing better to do. He is in a position of power and whether you like it or not that makes his family circumstances different. If he had fallen ill after his wife, which he did, he would have been left without childcare that he would have been happy with. His son also fell ill, I understand, and required hospital treatment. In his mind he did the right thing by his four year old autistic son and family. If you don't like the fact that the guidelines allowed him to do what he wanted then that is your problem.How does that make his child in more peril?

The guy is good at amplifying widely held pre existing prejudices. Immigration, faceless Brussels officials with their boot on the back of British necks etc. International cooperation is a hard sell.
There is no pre existing prejudice in the British public that is sympathetic to ‘one rule for the plebs, another for the powerful’ or ‘do as I say, not as I do’.

The most senior advisor to the PM would have been unable to resource adequate childcare in the event of incapacity due to ill health?
Cummings is not a single dad on a council estate in Peckham. If a single dad on a council estate in Peckham had driven his autistic son across country whilst infected with the virus he would have been banged up and crucified by the same people now defending Cummings. If the dad had been Muslim he would have been shot.

You are the one constant replying with stuff that doesn't answer a question. I'm just repeating a question you are demonstrating you can't answer. Which wastes more time?
I see you again cannot explain how that makes his circumstances different.
And then go on to describe calculations that every infected family had to make about their children.
Aren't you getting bored yet?
Again, I'll ask you, how was his child in more peril than others?
(You probably shouldn't bother replying now as you've had about 15 attempts and still not managed to answer this simple question)
