The Castle was big enough to be seen, so I better stop here? said Cummings blindingly after driving 30 miles in the opposite direction from London. There were NO different Material changes in circumstances from either staying put in London as would have ended in the same resulting outcome by being in Lockdown elsewhere including within a house in Durham. Putting your Child in serious DANGER of catching Covid-19 from its mother while being completely trapped within an enclosed Car environment for a 260 mile trip drive is NOT putting the safety of your Child first, and NO Cummings did not contaminate anyone else outside of his internal Car environment The Child was ONLY an excuse to have a Short Holiday away from London. Also..., there was NO hassling outside of Cummings home in London until his holiday in Durham was over until after the press reported what Cummings had done since as far as Cummings was concerned any Rules relating to Lockdown and Self Distancing only applies to all Non Conservative Elites.

Turtlehopper Pannell dude this is the guy who helped write the very rules he broke, if I did what he did if have been fined. He works for the government, a place where you have to hold people to a higher standard than other jobs, because if we don’t then they treat their power as absolute. He is not above the law. Saying that we should just leave it alone is stupid and corrupt. A minister in Scotland stood down for visiting her second home, this issue doesn’t exist in a vacuum. His own party is calling for him to go. He also helped influence the decisions at the start of the pandemic that has led to us having the most deaths in Europe. The conservatives will be in power until the next election, so why even back this guy who clearly did something wrong? They aren’t leaving power, so you’ll still get the conservative legislation, but I ask you to hold them to account as if they were the opposition, because it’s the only way a non corrupt democracy can work. No one is above the law.
“I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Boris has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure!

He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”
if everyone else in the country did this it’d be a lot different . the government wouldn’t care about any of our ‘childcare issues’ Johnson is just protecting all of his advisors. if you make the rules you follow the rules . i don’t know what’s hard to understand about that
Here is the thing the media are also breaking these rules as well, they don't social distance at all their like a mob really armed with camera, they also turned a blind eye when other people broke the lockdown.
So he drove to Durham Castle to make sure he was safe to drive with his wife and child on board if he wasn't able to drive why didn't his wife drive him to London a slap in the face for all NHS workers putting their lives on the line
As far as I can see it he was putting his family 1st not his job, he did what he thought was best for his kid, name a family that wouldn't do the same. I know he's messed up but he was doing what he thought was right. Name a person who hasn't made a mistake in there life.
Tina Gill yea well said! Family always comes first, at the time he made a decision on behalf of he’s family. Nothing else to say. Right or wrong whatever who cares family first every time!
Leave the guy alone he did have a legitimate reason. I would’ve done the same. Instead lets focus on the groups of press outside his home who didn’t care about social distance.
B******s..the psychopathic horror of a man always looks as if he is late. Obviously takes no care with his appearance and cannot even be bothered to learn his lines. Disgraceful...get rid of him

@@RomanHistoryFan476AD well that's the line, as a common mortal I can't break the rules, so what exactly makes him different than me? He's a minister!? He has even more moral responsibilities than anyone else. His biggest mistake right now is insisting on staying.
@@isabelagondim8566 i mean you wouldn't have been persecuted or fined for doing the same either... Throughout this lock down they've always said dont travel UNLESS it's critical... this isn't even contradictory
@Connor Cook It’s his fault that he thinks he is cleverer and more entitled than the ordinary public. And people like you offering such spurious defences in the face of a pandemic only adds to the insult of the tens of thousands of avoidable deaths that this government has failed to prevent.
this is different tho, a funeral is a public gathering this is a soletry trip, not meeting anyone and remaining with only members of his own household... The advice all along has said you should continue to look after members of family who are dependant on you, and safe guarding a 4 year old child comes under that. Besides who when fearing for the safety of your own child, wouldnt do whatever you could to help them.
at 0:52 that alarm goes off to warn viewers/listeners about the post-truths to come ahead... Imagine driving 250 miles with a sick person at your side. While you are feeling sick yourself...
I thought he should have resigned till I saw this. He didn't have any contact when travelling to Durham, he stayed in an isolated property away from his relatives and both he and his wife we quite ill with a four year old. The rules said there were exceptions with children so I dont blame him for what he did.
I don't agree with all the calls for quitting etc. He had a problem, he thought of a solution that had the least impact on others and he acted. All of this palarva is a waste of time, let the man get on with his job. What he did is not that bad for goodness sake, pull yourselves together.
@@butterflyn6525 typical hypocrisy from the socialists. Talk about having for compassion for ppl then show no understanding, to anyone outside of their inner circle or to anyone who disagrees with them.
I think in an emergency situation, i cant help but think that exceptions can be made. I think most of normal members of society probably would have done the same in the circumstances and likely have done the same and gotten away with it. I get mp's are supposed to set precedent but i'm not gonna condemn a man, to try to do what is best for their child. Especially if his actions didnt endanger anyone else. And i dont know what laura means by people not having the same resources he did. He hasnt used any exemptions that other ppl dont have, if you have a car you could do the same the only advantage he had was the housing set up but thats irrelevant to anything to do with his job.... And i mean if you drive you dont get arrested or fined if you have a critical reason for travelling and imo i think he did. Ensuring the safety of someone who is legally dependant on you is pretty critical imo and a 4 year old child definitely fits into that
As biast as the media is though, i do appreciate the lack of censorship, i like that he was given the platform to speak and it's left to us to make up our minds on it. That is something few other countries have and we should be proud to have a system of free speech and reason.
@@mansnotbot4160 I mean it's impossible to remove bias completely everyone has an opinion. And that comes across even in the questions they ask. So to say it doesn't exist is a bit ridiculous. Also it's clear when they present a story most of the time the frame it in a certain light being well aware of how they want ppl to react and interpret it. It's rarely ever completely neuturally presented. In this case it sort of was tho.

Turn away from him, because he is the one who wants you abuse you. He is the one who laughing at you when you are sick and tired of everything. He is the one who wants to put you into depression. Turn away from the abuser, he knows, his time is coming to an end. He works hard to deceive you by many ways. But God! Jesus Christ is the One who loves you. Jesus Christ is the One, who wants you to be a part of his family, because He loves you very much. He is the one, who heales you, you don't even know. He is the one who gave you a free will. He is the one, who take care of you, He is doing everything for you! Get right with Him! Because the Bridegroom - Jesus Christ, is coming for his Bride - Church. What to do to became a child of God? A - Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior. As it is written: There is non righteous, no, not one - Romans 3:10. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23 B - Believe on finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross - Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried and He rose again the third day - 1Cor 15:1-4. If you want to enter to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must be like a child - children trust their parents. Why I mention parents? Because God is our Creator. He is our Father, He is our Parent - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart - Jeremiah 1:5 C - Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved - If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved - Romans 10:9-10. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved - Romans 10:13. Jesus Christ is the shower/water, that cleans us of all unrighteousness - come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; thought they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool - Isajah 1:18 ♥️
His behaviour was outrageous. No other parent was allowed to break the lockdown rules, not even to take their children to safety with another relative if they had C-19. Cummings is a government advisor and on the SAGE committee, but chose to break the rule more than once. He should be fired from his role, and the Labour opposition should be demanding it.
Dominic Cummings is a disgrace. The way he has broken Lockdown rules and the fact he does not even regret what he has done is just ridiculous. Boris Johnson sticking up for him is an absolute joke. It's one rule for him and one rule for the rest of us who follow and obey the Government guide lines. GET HIM OUT! GET HIM OUT! GET HIM OUT!
Despite the statement the questions remained the same regardless. The questions from the lady from Skynews! He suspected he might have Covid. He was afraid if both of them were ill and unable to take care of their child what would happen so he decided to take them to his parents's farm. Are they in MSM thinking that Dominic should have stayed in London and if both of them fell very ill and unable to take care of his 4 year old child it should not matter what happens to the child!!!
Durham Police should investigate and they should at least give him a stern warning about breaking lockdown rules but also they should investigate Dominic's confession of why he was driving whilst he was visually impaired. If he's not upto driving then he shouldn't drive. The owness of this isn't on Dominic for being selfish but on the Durham Constabulary for not reacting to this; it looks like people in politics get a free pass or something; when that shouldn't be the case. People in politics are not above the law, they represent it. Representing the law is something Dominic didn't do, so he should resign for that but more importantly the Police need to seen to be reacting to this either by fining Dominic for breach of lockdown rules or giving him a warning. Police should react and the fact they've kept quiet is the reason why people have lost confidence in the law, the police, government and the lockdown message itself. We've all sacrifised by not visiting loved ones at home or at hospital bedside when they're dying. Unable to celebrate birthdays, have wedding's, take children on day trips or have holidays etc. Dominic's selfishness and self entitlement is disgusting and we shouldn't have someone like that in Government ever.
Excuses, excuses, excuses, if this was any other uk citizen would we have gotten away with it, hmmmm, don't think so, many people have lost ones who have died alone and isolated when showing symptoms, this guy carried on regardless even with symptoms wow
This is just a distraction. As much as I loathe this government and it's policies finger pointing at a guy with a sick wife and a small child is meaningless. He was ill his wife was ill they drove to a family home where there were people who could take care of the child should it come to that. he broke the rules but its not like they went off for a week of grouse hunting during a pandemic. Your country has really problems and things that need addressing this is NOT one of them.
he said he took a drive for half an hour to a lake to see how things would feel lmao, yet he said he felt sick yet still travelled 250 miles, so it's ok people according to Dominic there is nothing wrong with travelling while you are infected!
Cutting through the fluff of it all this interview is not doing the government any favours at all, and further all the good work can so easily undermined by one thing. He has to go. No one is irriplaceable.
his thought process does not matter, it's his actions that count so i don't know why he keeps trying to divert to "his thought process or state of mind" absolute bullshit
"Only last year I wrote about the danger of coronaviruses" aka I edited a blog post on the day I returned from my trip and am going to pretend i wrote it last year to make myself look superior......
he got so many excuses and quibble about it. he has no regret about his misbehavior and should step down as a public figure. In front of the lockdown policy, there is no exception.

The Castle was big enough to be seen, so I better stop here? said Cummings blindingly after driving 30 miles in the opposite direction from London.
There were NO different Material changes in circumstances from either staying put in London as would have ended in the same resulting outcome by being in Lockdown elsewhere including within a house in Durham.
Putting your Child in serious DANGER of catching Covid-19 from its mother while being completely trapped within an enclosed Car environment for a 260 mile trip drive is NOT putting the safety of your Child first, and NO Cummings did not contaminate anyone else outside of his internal Car environment
The Child was ONLY an excuse to have a Short Holiday away from London.
Also..., there was NO hassling outside of Cummings home in London until his holiday in Durham was over until after the press reported what Cummings had done since as far as Cummings was concerned any Rules relating to Lockdown and Self Distancing only applies to all Non Conservative Elites.
Stfu get off the mans back they're all working their arse off as are many other people during this time it's down to people's own judgement and not everyone's is the same so leave it out u rat
@@turtlehopperpannell1750 More like - they're all Lying their arse off.
@@pascoecharlie Even if they are lying they've got shit to do people need to put into perspective the job the government has to do to get us through out and recover from this and everyone picks at little things get over it
Turtlehopper Pannell dude this is the guy who helped write the very rules he broke, if I did what he did if have been fined. He works for the government, a place where you have to hold people to a higher standard than other jobs, because if we don’t then they treat their power as absolute. He is not above the law. Saying that we should just leave it alone is stupid and corrupt. A minister in Scotland stood down for visiting her second home, this issue doesn’t exist in a vacuum. His own party is calling for him to go. He also helped influence the decisions at the start of the pandemic that has led to us having the most deaths in Europe. The conservatives will be in power until the next election, so why even back this guy who clearly did something wrong? They aren’t leaving power, so you’ll still get the conservative legislation, but I ask you to hold them to account as if they were the opposition, because it’s the only way a non corrupt democracy can work. No one is above the law.

"I didn't ask Boris because i can do wtf i want, when i want and don't need my best mates approval"
“I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Boris has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Boris that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”
if everyone else in the country did this it’d be a lot different . the government wouldn’t care about any of our ‘childcare issues’ Johnson is just protecting all of his advisors. if you make the rules you follow the rules . i don’t know what’s hard to understand about that
Eli Jarosz where do you come from it’s time to go back
Here is the thing the media are also breaking these rules as well, they don't social distance at all their like a mob really armed with camera, they also turned a blind eye when other people broke the lockdown.
R Hello what? i’m from the U.K mate .
He's just the VICTIM of the press poor him
@Scitch2781 Unfortunately the public is dumb, otherwise the public wouldn't have put bozo (and his best mate) into power
So he drove to Durham Castle to make sure he was safe to drive with his wife and child on board if he wasn't able to drive why didn't his wife drive him to London a slap in the face for all NHS workers putting their lives on the line

As far as I can see it he was putting his family 1st not his job, he did what he thought was best for his kid, name a family that wouldn't do the same. I know he's messed up but he was doing what he thought was right. Name a person who hasn't made a mistake in there life.
At least he broke Lockdown for his kids, not to bang a married woman.
yes tina but the baying mob,remainers,labour gutter press cant help themselves.
Tina Gill yea well said! Family always comes first, at the time he made a decision on behalf of he’s family. Nothing else to say. Right or wrong whatever who cares family first every time!
Leave the guy alone he did have a legitimate reason. I would’ve done the same. Instead lets focus on the groups of press outside his home who didn’t care about social distance.
No, you wouldn;t have done the same because you would have been stopped by the police and turned back.

@@isabelagondim8566 He was in his car can't really spread from his car.

@marcus l Sorry where did he admit that he did something wrong? Must have missed that?
@@RomanHistoryFan476AD well that's the line, as a common mortal I can't break the rules, so what exactly makes him different than me? He's a minister!? He has even more moral responsibilities than anyone else. His biggest mistake right now is insisting on staying.
@@isabelagondim8566 i mean you wouldn't have been persecuted or fined for doing the same either... Throughout this lock down they've always said dont travel UNLESS it's critical...
this isn't even contradictory
He spits in the face of people who have had to make sincere sacrifices like families who couldn’t even attend funerals of their loved ones.
@Connor Cook It’s his fault that he thinks he is cleverer and more entitled than the ordinary public. And people like you offering such spurious defences in the face of a pandemic only adds to the insult of the tens of thousands of avoidable deaths that this government has failed to prevent.
this is different tho, a funeral is a public gathering this is a soletry trip, not meeting anyone and remaining with only members of his own household...
The advice all along has said you should continue to look after members of family who are dependant on you, and safe guarding a 4 year old child comes under that.
Besides who when fearing for the safety of your own child, wouldnt do whatever you could to help them.
‘I reacted reasonably illegal’ little bit of a Freudian slip there for you 12:13

Imagine driving 250 miles with a sick person at your side.
While you are feeling sick yourself...
Sack him . He needs to go. If i had done that police would of tried to fine me for breaking the rules.
I thought he should have resigned till I saw this. He didn't have any contact when travelling to Durham, he stayed in an isolated property away from his relatives and both he and his wife we quite ill with a four year old. The rules said there were exceptions with children so I dont blame him for what he did.
DanDaMan family comes first!
I don't agree with all the calls for quitting etc. He had a problem, he thought of a solution that had the least impact on others and he acted. All of this palarva is a waste of time, let the man get on with his job. What he did is not that bad for goodness sake, pull yourselves together.

@@jamesbrowne96 thank you I didn't realise that 🙂
You do not like it, because an employee of Boris, gave a clear explanation and thats it.
I think in an emergency situation, i cant help but think that exceptions can be made. I think most of normal members of society probably would have done the same in the circumstances and likely have done the same and gotten away with it.
I get mp's are supposed to set precedent but i'm not gonna condemn a man, to try to do what is best for their child. Especially if his actions didnt endanger anyone else.
And i dont know what laura means by people not having the same resources he did. He hasnt used any exemptions that other ppl dont have, if you have a car you could do the same the only advantage he had was the housing set up but thats irrelevant to anything to do with his job....
And i mean if you drive you dont get arrested or fined if you have a critical reason for travelling and imo i think he did. Ensuring the safety of someone who is legally dependant on you is pretty critical imo and a 4 year old child definitely fits into that

@@davidnoelfranks1124 Clearly. The media generally - blown entirely out of proportion.
The fines of all those who broke the rules should be refunded if this chap isn’t guilty
No joke, but I've already had a fine dropped for travelling to Scunthorpe for booty.
As biast as the media is though, i do appreciate the lack of censorship, i like that he was given the platform to speak and it's left to us to make up our minds on it. That is something few other countries have and we should be proud to have a system of free speech and reason.

@@mansnotbot4160 I mean it's impossible to remove bias completely everyone has an opinion. And that comes across even in the questions they ask. So to say it doesn't exist is a bit ridiculous.
Also it's clear when they present a story most of the time the frame it in a certain light being well aware of how they want ppl to react and interpret it. It's rarely ever completely neuturally presented. In this case it sort of was tho.

If Dominic has convinced you, perhaps you would like to invest in my perpetual motion machine.
What dom does during his own spare time is nothing to do with us, THIS IS NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Horrible display of in-eloquence and arrogance , lying to the public causing harm and distress on all levels, I have been through 10 weeks on my own with an autistic 5yr old and no help whatsoever, I managed but my mental health was affected by the idea I might be stopped by the police at and all the horrible media stories.

@@Malvo512 Four Labour MPs definitely broke the rules, but no mention of them from our left wing media. Labour will not see government again at least for another decade, hopefully longer, leftie loser.
based on this interview, the only impression ive gotten is that you can make up your own special circumstances and do what you please. even if that requires driving 250 miles baring in mind he probably stopped to refuel and touch the gas pumps...
agree.
Aww change the rules cause he's selfish!
Go Dominic ! 👍

Michael Gove would have loved to look after the kid
even if they sack him he will just carry on in another role they find for him it one law for them and another for the rest of us its never been any different
Just step down.
He doesn't regret it because regretting it would indicate he's guilty of something. he's been told by Boris not to take responsibility for his actions
Given that he was concerned about his child’s welfare in very difficult circumstances i think he made the right decision .
Melanie Foster same! Family first every time!
FOUR LABOUR MPs definitely broke the rules, but no mention of them in our biased left wing media. BBC love Labour. 💖
dont forget the mirror and guardian lies
My point exactly. I don’t know who died and made this country a bunch of hypocrites....!
After Dominic's explanation the questions remained the same regardless. Astonishing.
Get your house in order! Get right with Christ! Believe Him, says the Book of John 6:29! Because the seven years of tribulation is casting it's shadow upon the earth and it's going to be an horror.
Get right with Christ while it's still some time. Stop mock at Him, because you don't know what you are doing and you don't know, what you are saying.
Stop listening the devil! Turn away from him, because he is the one who wants you abuse you. He is the one who laughing at you when you are sick and tired of everything. He is the one who wants to put you into depression. Turn away from the abuser, he knows, his time is coming to an end. He works hard to deceive you by many ways.
But God! Jesus Christ is the One who loves you. Jesus Christ is the One, who wants you to be a part of his family, because He loves you very much. He is the one, who heales you, you don't even know. He is the one who gave you a free will. He is the one, who take care of you, He is doing everything for you!
Get right with Him! Because the Bridegroom - Jesus Christ, is coming for his Bride - Church.
What to do to became a child of God?
A - Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior. As it is written: There is non righteous, no, not one - Romans 3:10. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23
B - Believe on finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross - Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried and He rose again the third day - 1Cor 15:1-4. If you want to enter to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must be like a child - children trust their parents. Why I mention parents? Because God is our Creator. He is our Father, He is our Parent - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart - Jeremiah 1:5
C - Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved - If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved - Romans 10:9-10. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved - Romans 10:13.
Jesus Christ is the shower/water, that cleans us of all unrighteousness - come now, let us settle the matter, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; thought they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool - Isajah 1:18 ♥️
JUST SAY SORRY AND RESIGN
Westminster and this government has no credibility left. This statement was B'S
His behaviour was outrageous. No other parent was allowed to break the lockdown rules, not even to take their children to safety with another relative if they had C-19. Cummings is a government advisor and on the SAGE committee, but chose to break the rule more than once. He should be fired from his role, and the Labour opposition should be demanding it.
*His bullshit statement ends at **14:54** then he starts answering questions* 💪
He minimized the risk to others by driving 100s of miles with poor eyesight to see his elderly parents knowing he was infectious 😒
If you think he broke the law, contact the police, otherwise, there's no story and nothing to say.
Its not about breaking the law, its about breaking lockdown and putting lives at risk by traveling while having coronavirus
Dominic Cummings is a disgrace. The way he has broken Lockdown rules and the fact he does not even regret what he has done is just ridiculous. Boris Johnson sticking up for him is an absolute joke. It's one rule for him and one rule for the rest of us who follow and obey the Government guide lines. GET HIM OUT! GET HIM OUT! GET HIM OUT!
Total disgrace.
He must go ..End of !!!!!!
What on earth was that noise? Was somebody practicing the saxophone?
it the loopy left causing trouble as usual
Despite the statement the questions remained the same regardless.
The questions from the lady from Skynews! He suspected he might have Covid. He was afraid if both of them were ill and unable to take care of their child what would happen so he decided to take them to his parents's farm. Are they in MSM thinking that Dominic should have stayed in London and if both of them fell very ill and unable to take care of his 4 year old child it should not matter what happens to the child!!!
That means being reasonably in lockdown means: "Do the fuck whatever you want!"
Why on earth are these people not being tested?
Durham Police should investigate and they should at least give him a stern warning about breaking lockdown rules but also they should investigate Dominic's confession of why he was driving whilst he was visually impaired. If he's not upto driving then he shouldn't drive. The owness of this isn't on Dominic for being selfish but on the Durham Constabulary for not reacting to this; it looks like people in politics get a free pass or something; when that shouldn't be the case. People in politics are not above the law, they represent it. Representing the law is something Dominic didn't do, so he should resign for that but more importantly the Police need to seen to be reacting to this either by fining Dominic for breach of lockdown rules or giving him a warning. Police should react and the fact they've kept quiet is the reason why people have lost confidence in the law, the police, government and the lockdown message itself. We've all sacrifised by not visiting loved ones at home or at hospital bedside when they're dying. Unable to celebrate birthdays, have wedding's, take children on day trips or have holidays etc. Dominic's selfishness and self entitlement is disgusting and we shouldn't have someone like that in Government ever.
Only in the world he’s telling the truth
the alarm! Ironic! Grating my soul! MELTDOWN!
It's too late for tears.
its not the baying mob and gutter press wont give up and stop crying.
This is largely plausible until Police investigate the matter further and find Cummings' Dad's body in a nearby river at Barnard Castle...
Excuses, excuses, excuses, if this was any other uk citizen would we have gotten away with it, hmmmm, don't think so, many people have lost ones who have died alone and isolated when showing symptoms, this guy carried on regardless even with symptoms wow
“Busybodies” tell everyone to mind their own business.👍
Tervinder Kalsi well said!
This is just a distraction. As much as I loathe this government and it's policies finger pointing at a guy with a sick wife and a small child is meaningless. He was ill his wife was ill they drove to a family home where there were people who could take care of the child should it come to that. he broke the rules but its not like they went off for a week of grouse hunting during a pandemic. Your country has really problems and things that need addressing this is NOT one of them.
His sister live in London 3 miles away. All lies and cover ups.
_Mr Cummings, your uncle died of coronavirus. But what do you say to those who have had 2 uncles dying of coronavirus?_
he as a coward's streak about him.would not want him as a mate during a battle..he acted selfish
he said he took a drive for half an hour to a lake to see how things would feel lmao, yet he said he felt sick yet still travelled 250 miles, so it's ok people according to Dominic there is nothing wrong with travelling while you are infected!
The arrogance of this man is astounding! Resign before you are sacked by the people
You are not the people, you don't speak for the people. Your arrogance in assuming you do is astounding.
Cutting through the fluff of it all this interview is not doing the government any favours at all, and further all the good work can so easily undermined by one thing. He has to go. No one is irriplaceable.
his thought process does not matter, it's his actions that count so i don't know why he keeps trying to divert to "his thought process or state of mind" absolute bullshit
Not very bright
amanze ogbonna that would be Dim then
Disgraceful actions of the media with this story, blowing it right up because of Brexit
Sounds very sketchy, if signs off a fever stay put and isolate for 14 days, no bloody print out of rules for most people just a simple message.
this is why the bb c has to go london first fuck the rest
Ever since I started playing State of Decay I've been self-isolating because it's too dangerous to go outdoors. Should've stuck to the rules Dominic.
"Only last year I wrote about the danger of coronaviruses" aka I edited a blog post on the day I returned from my trip and am going to pretend i wrote it last year to make myself look superior......
I get the impression he has the weakest wife in Britain if she had to call her husband instead of a doctor.
he got so many excuses and quibble about it. he has no regret about his misbehavior and should step down as a public figure. In front of the lockdown policy, there is no exception.
Why on earth didn’t they shut that awful noise up in the background! I couldn’t keep listening to him it was so of putting!
I think it was done on purpose
Yes, ofcourse it was responsible with carantine for a while because of all info from media and WHO. Better use of masks, gloves and desinfection should be better protection and could give oppotunity to work under epidemy layter on after to weeks carantine. Now we know better and should live like before but moore carrier aspetially gouvernments shoul take much better care about security and defense of people not only territories and borders.
What about Michel Barnier and the Bio lab.. .no...no. thought not just trash like this...the BBC must go...
