Jon Craig trying to argue Bad Al wasn't anywhere near as divisive as Big Dom, because of Brexit....really, like really....Iraq war anybody. This is after saying it is Big Dom that only sees everything in terms of Brexit.2

Don't laugh - we've had rain in the sandpit today and yesterday. Proper storms too, very unusual for May. Maybe the rain gods want to keep everyone inside for the Eid celebrations.ydoethur said:

It's a rational explanation for otherwise bizarre conduct by Mr C? Mr Murrtay doesn't say he's right - just that it's one possibility., given the timing of the agreement to develop [edit] the vaccine .Alistair said:Why is anyone giving the batshit Craig Murray conspiracy theory any play at all?

So Cummings lied at least once about the Police, no surprise there then0

Won't help. Johnson and his cabinet have already tied themselves to him and insisted he has done Nothing Wrong. If CumFace now resigns it drags Shagger and the rest down with him. "Why did you insist he did nothing wrong Prime Minister, are you that naive ?Mexicanpete said:

Very wise. If I were escaping from Glasgow, I wouldn't stop before Bristol at least.Andy_JS said:
I remember driving from Glasgow to Birmingham without stopping.Peter_the_Punter said:
Not sure about that. I reckon I could drive 250 miles without a pee, but with a four year old and sick wife in the car. Very unlikely.CorrectHorseBattery said:I used to drive up to the North, 300 or so miles.
I never once didn't stop on the way for a wee.

Eh? Firstly that wasn't Dominic Cummings speaking. And secondly it was already known that the police had spoken to Cummings senior. 'Family' in that quote no doubt refers to Cummings and his wife.CorrectHorseBattery said:

Lie.
You need to calm down before throwing around accusations of lying. There's plenty of real ammunition to throw without making up your own.0 -
In as much it does not fit in with your trolling. In this country you are innocent until proved guilty. Franky I am.disgusted with the guilty until proved innocent attitude on here I have said i think Cummings should go if fir no other reason that he is the story... .CorrectHorseBattery said:

Why didn't they talk about virus and travel issues?CarlottaVance said:

Cummings is a soft Brexiteer. Bad blood between him and Baker who is a hard no-dealer And who was the first Tory MP to pull out a knife.Sunil_Prasannan said:

This is potentially more significant, for 2 reasons:-
1. There may well have been a reasonable excuse for the initial dash up home with sick family.
2. But a wander around town some time later? What was the reason for that? No firm denial and no clear explanation either. He may well not have been doing anything criminal at all but doing something which, for whatever reason, the government does not want us to know about.
I am curious as to whether that might be what is happening here and why Boris is putting so much effort into fighting for his advisor. I am also curious about what this “something” might be and why it is being kept secret.
Of course I may be wrong.
I simply note the coincidence of there being a GSK plant at Barnard Castle, GSK’s public statements about the work they are doing on developing a vaccine and the fact that Sir Patrick Vallance, the government’s CSO, was a former president of R&D at GSK between 2012 - 2018.
Were there - possibly - meetings going on which for some reason the government does not want to admit to? If so, why?3 -
