Dominic Cummings PM’s top adviser broke lockdown rules TWO times

[Samm]

Dominic Cummings travelled hundreds of miles from London to County Durham during the lockdown when he had virus symptoms, the BBC has been told.
A source close to the PM's chief aide confirmed reports he and his wife went to his parents' home to self-isolate.

But the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said she had been told Mr Cummings did not break government guidance because he and his wife stayed in a separate building.
The story was first reported by the Mirror and Guardian newspapers.
Labour said No 10 needed to provide a "very swift explanation" for Mr Cummings' actions.

"If accurate, the prime minister's chief adviser appears to have breached the lockdown rules. The government's guidance was very clear: stay at home and no non-essential travel," a spokesman said.
"The British people do not expect there to be one rule for them and another rule for Dominic Cummings."

The Scottish National Party's Westminster leader Ian Blackford said Mr Cummings should resign or be dismissed by Boris Johnson.
"This is a key test of leadership for Boris Johnson. People must have confidence that the Tory government is following its own rules - not being investigated by the police for breaking them," he said.

And Ed Davey, acting leader of the Liberal Democrats, added: "If Dominic Cummings has broken the guidelines he will have to resign, it is as simple as that."
The Mirror and the Guardian reported Mr Cummings, the former Vote Leave chief who was the architect of the PM's Brexit strategy, had been approached by the police.

He has to go.

Makes me so angry. I haven't seen my grandparents for months but this guy thinks its ok to travel hundreds of miles to visit his elderly parents INDOORS WHILE HE HAD THE VIRUS. A joke.

[Greg!]

His childcare excuse is laughable. If he and his wife were too ill to look after their kid at home how were they well enough to drive from London to Durham, a journey that takes hours??

[Liam-]

lmao shut the ****ing **** up

Dom as he coughed on his mother?

[hijaxers]

I think most of the counrty dislikes this man intensley ~ He has to go !

Bloody hypocrite.

[bots]

he should resign, but i doubt he will

[Cherie]

What difference does it make if they stayed in a different house? , what does he mean...like a holiday home or annex, travelling to another part of the country was not allowed and staying in a place that was not your main abode wasn’t allowed and still isn’t and the fact he had symptoms so took the virus with him as well I wonder if he stopped to fill up at a petrol station or to use the facilities or did he cross his legs for the duration


He needs to go

all Dom was doing was getting his kid safe.

And the SNP fat fella
lost his chance by being silly on BBC1AM

His parents are in their 70s and therefore should have been shielding.....absolute disgrace. Selfish and irresponsible. Nothing will happen,he may resign publicly but he will probably continue quietly in a salaried "advisory" capacity until the furore dies down.

The top government aide, who lets face it, essentially runs the country, breaking his own lockdown rules so flagrantly, is a massive slap in the face to all the people who’ve stuck by them for months, even the ones who’ve had the virus as well, this is the problem with these people, they expect us to all play our parts but they so obviously think they’re above the rules themselves, he won’t resign because he’s an arrogant pig, but I don’t think he’ll be fired either, they’ll bend as many rules as possible to back their own, one rule for us, one rule for them, disgrace

[Cherie]

No They were ill

Excuse me? Why are you getting personal? did his kid not need a wee then on this trip to Durham, was his wife ill, who was driving and if they were so ill how could they possibly drive safely

Don’t speak to me again unless you can be civil

[Oliver_W]

How bloody stupid can someone get? I wouldn't go anywhere near even my healthy relatives if I had symptoms. How is that clown in a palatable position to be even near government?

+1

absolutely, top adviser to your PM has huge responsibilities, him breaking these rules, well this could make average british public thinking like ''if he doesn't obey the rules, why should i'' that last bit is more hypothetically speaking what could occur if someone in high position in government breaks corona rules

he never should've visited his elderly parents when he had symptoms, should've more used facetime or skype to contact them

[Liam-]

Unfortunately, he’s good at his job, he gets the ‘right’ messages across to the ‘right’ people, he’s just an unimaginable twat that really has a massive contempt for the people of this country.

Funny really, he’s the ultimate unelected bureaucrat these days, when he was one of the main people delivering Brexit to get us away from all of those evil unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, it’s almost like they don’t really care if citizens are being ruled by people who didn’t earn their positions or not

He had symptoms therefore the child could have been asymptomatic plus as Cherie said.....did they not need food, fuel or rest breaks on the way. Its irresponsible and selfish....you can spin it however you want Arista but you are wrong on this. The safest thing would have been to stay put as everyone else in the country was told too.

[Beso]

I'm sure the grand parents will have agreed to this before he came, I very much doubt he just turned up.

Which imo, this should be a yard stick for all families to follow.

it's Boris I feel sorry for; he's doing his best to hide away until the whole thing blows over and now he might actually have to appear in public and answer some questions.

Hopefully he''ll be able to ignore it and stay in the fridge, the brave little soldier.

[Samm]

Do you follow ALL the rules set out.

Yes, I have. I haven't seen my parents for more then ten weeks, haven't been home since January. Nor have I interacted with anyone other than the people who I live with in my household.

Even if I didn't. I'm not a part of the government where any breakage of the rules should result in some sort of discipline to their position.

[smudgie]

What an idiot.
He needs to go.
If they were fit enough to drive then they were fit enough to look after their child.
Silly to put his parents at risk like that.

[Cherie]

From the gov.uk website


Stay alert

We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must:

stay at home as much as possible
work from home if you can
limit contact with other people
keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
wash your hands regularly
Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.

Don’t see how anyone can defend this, maybe he got confused like half the population seem to be by simple messages

[Liam-]

They just feel like they’re above everyone else so they don’t need to follow their own rules, they were never going to get rid of him, unlike the science advisor they forced to resign after he broke the rules, the fish rots from the top and this government is rotten

[Brother Leon]

Bull**** response from the government. We all knew if you had symptoms then you need to isolate at home. There have been whole families sick at home and doing just that. Can you imagine if a footballer had done this?

So according to the tweets coming out of Downing Street it was his wife who had symptoms and his sister and nieces offered to look after his child ...it just gets worse...self isolate at home with your infected wife and look after your own child like everyone else is asked to do

Well according to these very people, children are the most safe people on the face of the planet, so he wasn’t going to be in much danger, unless they’re lying about that now?

The rules to start with were very clear, if anyone had any symptoms they were to isolate in their homes and not leave to go anywhere else, he broke them, he should be punished like every other person who’s been punished for doing so has been

[Liam-]

Cummings’ brother-in-law lives in London, if it was really a case of needing shopping delivered (It wasn’t) or someone to look after the kid (it wasn’t) then was literally zero need to travel like they did

Right, Arista, him and his wife were both showing severe symptoms of the virus, so the chances are likely that their son also had contracted the virus and was able to pass it on, the elderly people were told by this government to self isolate from everyone and everything due to them being vulnerable, in what world is it okay for the top government aide who helped set the rules, to drive hundreds of miles (which wasn’t allowed) to live somewhere else (which wasn’t allowed) so that his sister and elderly parents could look after his child (which most certainly wasn’t allowed) he willingly put his parents in danger, he broke countless rules he had helped set for us common folk, us common folk would have gotten fined for doing the exact same thing, do you think politicians and government officials should be above the law?

Those same 2 parents who could possibly have infected the child wanting to drive across the country and possibly infect their wider family. Bit stranger imo.

[Kazanne]

What the hell are you on? Dominic Cummings is a top adviser who implemented the lockdown protocol and has broke it numerous times. They are the paparazzi who hold no accountability over lockdown or the government.

So the public can flout the rules and none of the government,WE are accountable for our actions no one else, I am not saying what he did was right,so calm down, IF we are going to pull people apart lets do it to all those who break the rules on this.I suppose it depends on what newspapers you read. Will they all be losing their jobs ?

it's wild how you can have Rees-Mogg going round blaming the victims of grenfell for not having enough common sense to escape, Cummings looking down on the whole country with an air of exceptionalism, and Boris hiding away, whilst everyday mothers/wives/husbands/children will defend their privilege to not have to face any accountability.

Weren’t you one of the people not so long ago saying the people breaking lockdown rules should be refused treatment cause they should get what they deserve? The public are being held to a much higher standard that the people making the rules, if the public get fined for cautioned for much less than what Dominic did, why do you think it’s appropriate for him to get away with it?

Exactly.
Half the public are breaking the rules now, people only care because he’s a member of government And people are wanting to hate the government, , the people complaining have probably broken the rules also...

And I also do think he was silly to break the rules but the media is always going to make it sound as bad as possible, and like Kazanne has said firing everyone for breaking the rules would leave nobody in the workforce. I personally am not bothered if he goes because I’ve never been a fan of him and do find him a little arrogant, but it’s just hypocritical to blame the government for all wrong doings when the public are at fault. I also don’t like this new culture of, theyve made a mistake, fire them, as it will get dangerous soon and will start happening more frequently for smaller errors/issues

The difference being though Kaz, Kinnock advise on the lockdown being put in place. When you set the rules people will always call you out, quite rightly, if you don't adhere to them. We know it has happened so to me its indefensible.

Plenty of other parent's who have had the virus struggled through with their children without breaking the lockdown that Cummings himself was instrumental in implementing.

[Toy Soldier]

Exactly.
Half the public are breaking the rules now, people only care because he’s a member of government And people are wanting to hate the government, , the people complaining have probably broken the rules also...


I think the anger is about the hypocrisy more than the action, though. Yes a lot of people are bending the rules - but they're not the people telling everyone else that they should be following them (or actually SETTING them in the first place).

I guess for a comparison, it would be like James going around TiBB calling everyone cockgremlins and then telling people they'll get banned if they call him names.

Like no one would actually be angry about the swearing - they'd be angry about the double standards.

[Liam-]

Also, as one of the people ‘complaining’ I have most definitely not broken the rules myself, because I for one actually care about my vulnerable mother who will definitely die if she caught the virus, but that’s just me

[Toy Soldier]

BUT yes as I said yesterday, I think there is a large element of "needing a punching bag" going on at the moment. That's not to say that these people don't deserve it... But I think a lot of the "outrage" is because people are (understandably) frustrated at a situation that's bigger than individuals or governments... But you can't swing your fists at a virus, you can't scream or shout or be outraged at a virus, it would be like standing on a pier screeching at a hurricane to **** off back out to sea.

All of that pent up anger and frustration has to go somewhere. And to be fair, I can't think of many people more deserving of it than Cummings. Extremely sinister little troglodyte.

[Kazanne]

I understand that Annie and I know he has done it ,not clear on why though yet ,I have adhered to the lockdown as much as possible myself ,I am classed as a key worker so have had to go out at times, but have kept my distance as much as I can,I don't have a problem with people who do that,I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the paps ,shoulder to shoulder to get those pics,you stay safe Annie.

I understand that Kaz and have very little thoughts for the media but in my mind if you hold yourself as a leader above the people you are more accountable for your actions and be prepared for criticism if you are found lacking as he has been here..

I have adhered to the lockdown to the letter - I have done only essential shopping as infrequently as possible as I have done lots of batch cooking so there was plenty of meals in the freezer, not visited anyone and as a non essential furloughed worker have not left the house other than for the hour a day we have been allowed.

Hope you and your family are all safe and well Kaz :love:

His wife had symptoms so they drove nearly 300 miles to stay near his parents and they still looked after the kids themselves by the wife’s account, there was literally zero reason for them to go there

Harassment here, pure and simple ! No thought for his family and neighbours. Intimidation too, utterly disgraceful from the gutter press and media .

What’s the press got to do with it? They didn’t do it, are they not allowed to report on things now?

They are not reporting anything,they are now harassing , plus the press are also breaking the rules Im holding them accountable for their actions,thats allowed.

[Kazanne]

What he did was wrong....but this behaviour by the press is ugly and hypocritical.

Agree ,and even worse people getting pleasure from it, :shrug:

[rusticgal]

Well then he clearly isn’t protecting them is he cause he’s certainly abandoned them



You are talking utter rubbish....how do you know he isn’t protecting them?...and you don’t know that he has abandoned them...so stop making it up.

There is reporting....and then there is harassment and intimidation...and sticking a massive screen outside his house for that very purpose is WRONG.

[Cherie]

A van in a public place is not harassment, if they were shouting and knocking his door then maybe, it’s an exercise of free speech, is it a bit extreme? Probably, is it underserved? Absolutely not

It serves no journalistic value, and is the type of journalism that probably sent Caroline Flack to her death and received comments like scum, vile etc

By all means doorstep him, and if they wanted to do this they could have done it at No. 10 rather than at his home, is he even in there? according to the latest news he has been at No. 10 for the past 4 hours

Again, the press aren’t responsible for that, activists paid for the screen to be there, the press are just reporting on it

[Kazanne]

We know already what happened so they really need to stop with their loud speakers etc, plus they need to get their stories correct as their is NO proof of a second visit anywhere. but those headlines count,no matter how they get them.

Doesn’t look like anybody is home, the police knocked on the door and I don’t think they got an answer so, who’s it hurting?

I sure hope Cummings is happy that’s he’s able to travel miles throughout the country, while a thirteen year old boy was buried alone due to his family not being able to mourn him

Who’s got loudspeakers?
Hold the same energy for a government that is constantly changing it story to back up someone who broke his own rules

[Kazanne]

I know what you mean,and yes all good thankyou:wavey:i will be glad when all this is calming down ,it's all getting a bit silly now.

[rusticgal]

Well they are responsible for flouting the rules as well....it’s all on camera. But you go on supporting them in their hypocrisy :laugh:

[Kazanne]

Tell that to everyone else who has done that .

[Samm]

Oh so the press harassment of Jeremy Corbyn was just fine, but the press reporting on one of the most senior people in this county breaking lockdown rules is bad?

[Samm]

Tell that to everyone else who has done that .

I don’t think you’re getting it are you, Cummings is a senior official he’s not like “everyone”.
