I can’t believe he hasn’t received threats before this and dealt with this before . The met polis have a unit that deals with these types of things. Wonder how many FOI requests they'll get to see if eejit features contacted them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’s the vaccine for the sars-covid1 18 years on? Scotland, Wales, Ireland were on the brink of Home rule (not even devolution) until the outbreak of WW1. Took almost an entire century for Scotland and Wales to get Only partial devolution because of events. The role of the British state in Scotland now, is entirely different to Ireland then, where the Brits were repeatedly committing what we’d consider to be genocide In the modern world. Australia, Canada, NZ all got independence after the slaughter and sacrifice of WW2, USA after a war. Sars-covid2 wont be the catalyst for scottish independence, just misery, poverty and another Tory government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Dom’s explanation all seems very plausible and reasonable Imo. On a totally unrelated matter. If anyone asks why I appeared to be at a lock-in at my local pub this afternoon there’s a perfectly simple explanation. Ten of us all just happened to go and check on the publican to see if he was ok because nobody had seen him for a while. We thought he might need help or some shopping or something. Any group of responsible citizens would’ve done the exactly the same. Before going there I noticed there didn’t appear to be anything wrong with my eyesight so obviously I didn’t want to risk driving in case i was delirious due to an underlying infection. As I was also unaware of any persistent cough or temperature, I decided I better check for any altered sense of taste or smell. Unfortunately, the publican had given all the snacks in the bar to a local food bank, as any responsible citizen would, so I was forced to overcome this problem by drinking lager. While drinking my pint it occurred to me that the others may potentially have come into contact with an infection, so I decided to insist that they all test for altered taste and smell sensations, as and reasonable medical professional would do. Then I remembered this virus can be in your system for a number of days before showing any outward symptoms. We decided to self isolate and repeat the testing at intervals to track any changes. Unfortunately it seems that I may have some kind of infection. The room is spinning, my speech is slurred, my vision is blurred and I could murder a kebab. I think I may need a week in ICU chatting with Kiwi nurses and perhaps a bed bath or two to keep my spirits up. #pray4zorro. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE RAGING AT THIS TOOL? Did you really expect the BBC to give him a hard time ? They had two journalists on after his statement, from the Observer and Sun on Sunday and both were highly critical of what Cummings said and didn't say. Both were incredulous that an adviser should have given his statement from No.10 in the first place. The Tories are in a position to sit this out because they don't care about public opinion and won't need to for another four years. There are millions of people raging about this tool, I'm one of them, but there are also millions more who don't give a damn about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it doesnt make sense as you'd head straight down the A1 to London, mibbe stop Darlington way instead of going cross country to Barnard Castle. Just listening and that seems right so I'm baffled why you'd go to Barnard Castle. Dont add up Just as it doesn’t add up that someone who does all of this because he is trying to do the best thing for his son then puts him in the child seat in the Range Rover before driving 30 miles to determine if he can still see. if that’s the best excuse he can come up with after about 6 weeks then god knows why he is considered to be indispensable.

a1killiefan Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Looks like a story has been created to fit the evidence, and the press failed to ask the right questions! Why couldn't his wife drive? Was it a coincidence there was a family celebration (? mum's birthday) when he first got to Durham? Was it a coincidence that it was his wife's birthday when he did his eye test drive? How convienient is it that neither he nor Boris can't remember discussing what he did?
