Criticism of a tory unelected bureaucrat is a lynch mob, constant criticism of any opposition is ok and fair game. Please keep up.
Yea sorry I was getting distracted by the Tory apologists ?

What Cummings did is now water under the bridge - though the issues associated with it may not be. But on what Cummings did - as I understand it the clarification guidance provided by Jenny Harries that Cummings and many excusing him point to is:I believe that while the guidelines said stay at home, the relevant Act provides circumstances where you can leave home, two of which appear to apply to Cummings' circumstances as I understand them.
I didn't state it was anywhere near a 'good' (or believable) one!What that he was infected and thought let’s drive 260 miles ?
He only had a reason if you belive his pathetic excuse.
The rule was “stay at home” The one he had a hand in drafting.
So if, to quote you, he felt himself so important to the operation of government why did he remain in Durham for two weeks?What Cummings did is now water under the bridge - though the issues associated with it may not be. But on what Cummings did - as I understand it the clarification guidance provided by Jenny Harries that Cummings and many excusing him point to is:
"Clearly if you have adults who are unable to look after a small child, that is an exceptional circumstance"
I highlight one important word - unable
At the time Cummings made the decision he made, neither Cummings nor his wife - never mind both of them as a couple - were that ill that they were unable to care for their child. Indeed at the time they were both perfectly capable of looking after their child at home.
But from what I heard from Cummings in the Rose Garden, he decided that at some point his wife might become so ill that she wouldn't be able to look after their child - it would then be down to him. He reckoned that he was so important to Johnson and the government that they could not do without him and that working from home whilst looking after their child just wouldn't work - he had to be there. And so to mitigate the risk of that he made the decision he made. He blatantly and clearly broke the absolute lockdown rules that we were mostly all trying our utmost to adhere to. Because he thought himself very important.
As an aside - tell me that nobody at the most senior level of government knew of this decision and OK'd it and I frankly won't believe you.
Exactly, he believed his wife was infected, believed he would become infected as well, panic’d, legged it to Durham to be close to family who could look after his kid if they both were too sick to do it themselves.So if, to quote you, he felt himself so important to the operation of government why did he remain in Durham for two weeks?
Was it not that he was concerned that if his wife was developing symptoms he would also end up sufficiently ill to be unable to care for their child.
His address is given.Doesn’t give address’s, just names.

Made the decision as a father/husband.
You’ve lost meHis address is.
What’s being discussed is relevant to the thread title isn’t it?Guys , round and round in circles we are going
Its clear that he isnt going to budge, or be pushed and no amount of gnashing of teeth on here is going to change that.
It has become a bigger story than the pandemic itself and that is wrong, it has diverted the attention away from the important questions, information and advice and that is wrong
So by continuing to discuss it, we are simply prolonging it, yet not coming up with anything new, so whats the point?
None whatsoever.Guys , round and round in circles we are going

So when a fellow forum member asks a question to another we should just ignore them?None whatsoever.
Which is exactly my point

None whatsoever.

His address is shown as the same as the house. Who is/are the others and what address(es) do they have on the registration form.You’ve lost me
Unless of course you’re saying it’s another Dominic Cummings who owns a property on his dad’s farm.
The address is as shown for the property were he stayed in April:His address is shown as the same as the house. Who is/are the others and what address(es) do they have on the registration form.
Perhaps he lived there when the original registration was made and hasn't lived there since.
There is more unknown than known.
No ?. It's like a grubby crack habit!Yet you can't stop posting on the thread.
Is this Forum Phil or Mod Phil?Guys , round and round in circles we are going

Have you seen this mate, just a small discrepancy between what Mary wrote in the Spectator and cummings said in his statement:These 2 have 'blagged' their way through life & will continue to do so as long as folk tire of the fight & give-in to them. It's a thankless task & that's what they rely on.
