Turns out Cummings' family's extra cottage he stayed in might not have planning permission so they could all be in the shit
is there any actual proof he stayed in the separate cottage and not the main house? I am not accusing - just wondering if this fact has ever been verified? Given that most of his story sounds like it was invented as excuses, I do not trust a single thing he says at present. Happy to be proved wrong.
What was it you said again Bill? Were you having another Fiesta production line moment.
As I said Emily Maitlis the bastion of impartiality .. NOT!
Getting her knuckles wrapped, yet again.
The BBC has said an introduction about Dominic Cummings on Tuesday's Newsnight did not meet the required standards of due impartiality.
The programme began with presenter Emily Maitlis saying "the country can see" Cummings had "broken the rules".
Emily laying into Boris yet again, and quite frankly she is right on point yet again as the UK is officially 2nd to only USA now in terms of total deaths.
The scientist whose research prompted the lockdown was caught having a visit from his lover in breach of the rules. The government got rid of him pronto.
The man who effectively runs the country – and probably wrote the rules – was caught driving his sick wife and their son 260 miles to his parents’ country farm because he thought he was about to get Covid. They clung to him like ivy to a willow tree. For he was all they had. Without him, they’d be even more clueless.
These were, they said, exceptional circumstances. Because who would care for the boy if both parents were ill? As though no one else had faced such a dilemma. He was, they said, right to follow his instincts as a father. As though no one had set aside their paternal instincts in order to obey the rules as most of us understood them.
It was reasonable, they said, for their man to drive to a beauty spot to test his vision when his eyes were “wonky”. On Easter Sunday, his wife’s birthday, or “Day 15”, as he pointedly called it, knowing infected households are supposed to isolate for 14 days.
So reasonable that Michael Gove asserted on LBC that he, too, “on occasion” had driven to check his eyesight.
So reasonable that cabinet ministers dutifully and desperately tweeted in unison that we should “move on” – unaware or untroubled that their jarring corvid tone offended the nation’s Covid ear.
The government is taking us for fools and only hardened leave voters are sticking to the party line and lapping up this deceipt it would seem.
