Bloody hell ................. first Hampton ...... now it's Jeremy Bloody Hunt with whom I'm of the same opinion !
Right ....... I've just listened to the first 5 mins of that interview all over again!
So:
- gets call to go home
- so he did
- after a couple of hours, wife feeling better urged Cummings to return to work
- so he did
- returned home that evening
- somehow, she thought she might have covid (but didn't have cough or fever)
- he also thought he might get/have it
- feared hospitalisation
Let's be clear ........ neither parent had it, neither parent showed symptoms, people Cummings worked with had been off work and returned (presumably without hospitalisation) ...................... and yet, he considered it "exceptional circumstances".
I tell you what ........bugger it ....... I'll give it you ........ he did nowt wrong there ....... so, that just leaves us with Barnard Castle ........ on his wife's birthday.
Baton passed.
They've already reneged on it apparently. Shameful.
What was different to that trip to BC he made than the one Blackford did in April?
Bloody hell ................. first Hampton ...... now it's Jeremy Bloody Hunt with whom I'm of the same opinion !
I don't know the details. Has he been somewhere?
Was it against the policy he helped derive?
I'm not feeling that comfortable about it either my fence sitting friendBloody hell ................. first Hampton ...... now it's Jeremy Bloody Hunt with whom I'm of the same opinion !
Did you not think he made a commitment? Interestingly, he said he'd need to speak to his Treasury colleagues ...... not Home Office/Police.Hardly, it’s being passed on for consideration.

It's not often I agree with Paddy the Bolton nark but on this occasion he has a point
Thinking about it ......... Cummings spoke with Johnson the night before the Durham trip, ....Johnson told him he'd tested positive ........ .so what the hell was Cummings doing going into work the following morning? Surely that was stupid.BC potentially, not the other two. Still upset he didn’t get a job in the reshuffle.
Maybe he had an eye test to go to.Im not surprised you don’t know the details.
It was against the policy he wants someone else sacked for following.
Dom no mates (unsurprisingly )On that subject, you've got to ask yourself .......... if both you and your wife were hospitalised, how many people - friends, neighbours - who lived reasonably close by (5 mile radius?) do you reckon you could ask (without guilt) to look after your kid? For Cummings to not have that option is a bloody shame.
What is the point of arguing this any further - we all know the details of what happened people have made up their own mind and they won't change them. It just goes round in circles.
Simple logic if the people were shouting for the 3 or 4 Labour politicians and now Blackford to go when they happened then fair enough if they wanted Cummings gone fair play it's consistent and a position of principle. But I don't remember any fuss over any of that at all it was seem more as an embarrassment than a sackable offence which I agree with at the time I thought it was egg on the face but not sackable - like every other person who's been breaking the rules. If they didn't call for them to go then but want Cummings out now it's pure political bias.
We know judging from the contrasting behaviour of the media in these instances this is about removing Cummings more than it is what he actually did. They know removing him weakens Brexit, weakens the government and is revenge for all those who he previously beat in campaigns. There is a reasonable debate to be had and fair questions but the media is full on Salem Witch trials mode. They've blown this into insane levels - China and Hong Kong stuff isn't even getting a mention it's wall to wall attacks.
I think whatever side of the argument you are on we should all be very concerned about the accelerating behaviour of our press - they are actively campaigning for things and trying to whip up hate storms rather than reporting the news fairly. They've been pushing their luck for years and they just keep getting worse - how long before we have another Caroline Flack? Remember the crocadile tears over that before they get their next target and go for the kill - fuck their safety, privacy, children and family - they need their scalp. Our media are cancer and laws preventing them from behaving so unscrupulously are long over due. The media has treated Cummings worse than the convicted paedo groom gangs - no matter what side of the political divide your on or if Cummings should go or stay this shit storm has to stop and the media need reeling way back to reporting the news accurately rather than trying to force elected Governments hand. They hide behind the 'holding the government to account line' like is gives them a blank cheque to do anything to anyone they see fit. This won't stop here it will just get worse our media is now as bad as Americas.
