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

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

    One rule for them ... ... and ANOTHER for us plebs!

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

    ... let's, therefore, spend 'a little' time taking more than a cursory glance through a few (earlier) - truly heartwarming - tales of folk pulling together by helping each other during the pandemic.

    Here we go:

    Wtf?

    https://www.metro.co.uk/2020/05/24/p...-day-12751309/ ... actually, the number of signatories calling for the top aide's sacking has increased to 89,000 at the last count.

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

    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.

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

    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.
