Furore Over "Cummings & Goings" Of Government's Chief Political Strategist

[Arthur Little]

It would appear senior Cabinet members have closed ranks by making :lame: excuses on behalf of "heid bummer", Dominic Cummings who twice drove :transam-front-ramai 250 miles from London to his parents' residence
in Durham - and return - in breach of lockdown guidelines.

Seems as though :Britain:'s Sunday media en masse has since got its teeth :biggrin: into that ^ story. :cwm24:

:poke: ... let's, therefore, spend 'a little' time taking more than a cursory glance through a few (earlier) - truly heart:heartshape1:warming - tales of folk pulling together by helping each other during the pandemic. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Here we go:

Wtf? :cwm3:

:icon_rolleyes: ... tbh, who cares? All that most folk want is to see an end to this :censored: plague - and the swiftest possible return to normal,

The press are getting pathetic these days. :cwm23::cwm23::cwm23:

This issue should be dropped now, as for some of the public looking for any excuse to do what they want should have more sense than to put themselves in a life threatening position Arthur haven't they got a brain.:doh

You are correct up to a point, Michael ... in the sense it's becoming rather boring.

Including the offender ... in this instance.


haven't they got a brain?

You have to wonder sometimes ... :iagree:!

[Arthur Little]

Ah well, Cummings has finally gone :Wave: ... as has Lee Cain, Boris's Director of Communications.

It would be better to hear POSITIVE news about GOOD people arriving on the Government team.

Rather than NEGATIVE news about GOOD people being sacked from the team due to wishes of the PM's Fiancee.
