I don't know mate, not sure what they are?
They are according to themselves Trotskyists. I get you're not a Tory, and from what you said not a Starmer fan, so I thought you're of the left but a Brexiteer, which is what Spiked are.

Any one framing this as a Left / Right issue disrespects those who have lost their lives so far and those who are yet to pass. Its not about Left or Right its about Wrong and Right and what Cummings did was just wrong.

My comment to Kazzy wasn't about Cummings or Covid just curious about his political orientation!
Agree totally this is not about left or right.
The pound shop Goebbels broke the rules and should face the music.

Am I right in hearing this prick say that, knowing he had badly affected eyesight as a result of the virus, he decided that a good sensible way to test if it was bad or not is to drive 60 miles with his kids in the car? Great plan. Is this bloke for real?

Cummings and his Mrs suspected she had COVID symptoms so he went back to work? Regardless of the Durham stuff that alone was a breach of the guidelines as he and his household should have quarantined at that point.
I noticed today he had a newly acquired hired goon following him out of his house. You're not supposed to have people from another household in your home, that is against lockdown guidelines.
Its clear that he doesn't give a fuck about the rules and that shitshow this afternoon just confirmed it.
As for doing a 60 mile round trip driving a car to test your eye sight? It's deeply concerning that the PM's top advisor thinks A) that's a sensible thing to do and B) it's a credible reason that the public will relate to in order to vindicate his actions.

Teflon Dom continually regurgitates the childcare/vulnerable guidance get out of jail card, as a default.
However, its like interpreting the manual for a sports car, that states it can be driven at 200 miles per hour.
That doesnt mean you can drive it at 200 miles an hour, in all circumstances & then refer to the document
in court, as a defence to your actions when facing a speeding fine. The guidance states that in exceptional
circumstances you may not be able to follow ALL of the guidance points. It doesnt give you the right to then
unilaterally decide you dont have to follow ANY of the guidance, just because you have a x4 year old & your
wife vomited but neither of you are currently displaying any covid 19 symptoms. He was worried that they
would both be infected with covid and be incapacitated. As hes sat on sage meetings, hell be fully aware that
high majority of their age group with no underlying symptoms even if both became infected would only
display mild symptoms or be asymptomatic? He didnt seek medical advice for dual medical incapacitation
prior to leaving, didnt call nhs 111. The guidance says to call nhs 111, he didnt follow that simple guidance.
The guidance states it may not be possible to follow ALL of the points, not ANY. Why not call/seek medical
expertise. Having a x4 year old doesnt incapacitate you to use a telephone to call nhs 111 like others have to.

What I'm seeing is Cummings lying and being slippery with technicalities in govt advice, and almost hysterically hate filled media twisting and turning to trap him on other technicalities of govt advice. Meanwhile the PM makes the public appearance we've been clamouring for for a week and gets let off the hook on everything he should be held to account for. The media are not doing their job. They are so blinded by hate for Cummings that BJ is getting away with all his actual fuck ups. Let's hope Starmer doesn't waste PMQ's asking the same questions and getting the same answers.
I agree with that. The media are in over drive at the minute with this story. 24/7 news coverage and the sheer hatred in some of the questions asked today was so obvious. Even the 30 odd reporters stood outside his house.
no one was questioning Johnson on his policies today or asking about the pretty poor job his government have done recently.
the whole thing is ridiculous and the media as well as government look atrocious.
