Did Dominic Cummings break lockdown rules (tibb poll)

[Withano]

~71% of the country say yes

What about tibb.

[Liam-]

Obviously, it’s impossible to refute

[Beso]

Yes..but so would any normal person in the circumstances he described.

[The Slim Reaper]

Yes..but so would any normal person in the circumstances he described.

His wife's birthday?

[Cherie]

I can just about get over taking the kid to Durham but put your hands up that going to Barnham Castle was a nice drive out and returning to work when you thought you thought your wife had Covid was not clever either

[Beso]

His wife's birthday?

She wanted to go to her mother in laws for her birthday, are you sure?

[The Slim Reaper]

Day trip to the castle was his wife's birthday.

Don't let this become normal; he did this whilst folks were sacrificing.

[Beso]

A day away from the mother in law...the perfect present.

On another note have you heard the term...come come that's barney castle?

Isn't that about being a coward or something? Think I read about it yesyerday, but not sure if we're talking about the same thing.

[bots]

What really angers me, is that Gove outright lied when he said that he had gone out driving to test his eye sight in the past .... when someone is prepared to go to that level of lying, we can't have any confidence in the government. He should have been sacked for that lie alone

[Beso]

Yeah it was about the Duke In the castle being to scared to come out the castle to a battle...so the term come come that's barney castle was used to tell someone they were making excuses or talking ****e.

[hijaxers]

So no change there then !

[Morgan.]

I mean going on a 30 minute drive to a castle to test your eyesight is just wrong on all levels and a blatant lie.

[hijaxers]

Yes..but so would any normal person in the circumstances he described.

No they bloody wouldn't as plenty have said all day on tv , they stayed put just like Dom told them to, whilst ignoring his own slogan and advice.

[Beso]

Were they all government advisors/key workers, were their circumstances as important to the nation as his were?

Fair enough the castle journey, but it sounds like they covered all social distancing advice during that so it really ain't that big an issue for me..


Not for someone that important to the nation, who cares..

The better person will look down their noses at him in the future and call him the king of barney castle, proud in the knowledge they abided by the law.


I will say though, if I and the mother if my son both took unwell and thought it was corona, and we had no other option for childcare I would be in the motor up the road in no time if my mum said..come here, stay in the outhouse..


Tell me you wouldn't do the same!

No i wouldn't and why have you not voted he did the right thing if thats what crap you believe ?????

[Beso]

That isn't an option is it or I bloody would have.

:joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

No

He can't help where his parents live and if you can't provide me evidence to say he is lying then move on, put your pitchforks and your pearls in your shed and mind your own beeswax

[caprimint]

Like... to a degree he did, but his reasoning was also understandable so

[Marsh.]

She wanted to go to her mother in laws for her birthday, are you sure?

When she can't be arsed looking after her own kid because it's her birthday and she's got a sniffle? Yes.

[Marsh.]

Were they all government advisors/key workers, were their circumstances as important to the nation as his were?

It was of the utmost importance for him to drive to his mother's farm because he's a government advisor?

Good grief. :joker:

[Marsh.]

No

Whether he's lying is neither here nor there really, if it's a lie or if it's the truth it broke the rules either way.

[Beso]

My sister asked me to jump on a train and do lockdown with her and her kids roundabout the same time..Me a 50 yr old wheezing smoker..I booked the train and everything, only turned back at kings cross just incase I had the virus.More I think about it she was probably trying to see me off!!

But that's the point, I could have travelled by train or bus at that time..all the way up to Scotland to self isolate for 2 weeks when I got there...symptoms or not.. in the attic room at my sisters.

[Liam-]

No

The rules were to not self isolate anywhere other than your home, do not travel, do not drive, do not go to a second home, stay at home, it’s really that simple, whether he’s lying about his reasoning or not (he is), by doing what he did he blatantly broke the rules

[hijaxers]

No

What utter crap LT ~ just wooden spooning again ~ cos you enjoy.

Oh for sure, I don’t believe the story but at a push it could be true, it’s more likely it was Easter holidays they had booked the time off anyway as school would be closed, it was a Friday night so they headed off :joker:

Obv really Cherie, all booked for mummy and wifes birthday ,but so what we'll just lie our arses off and 90% of government will back us up. Good times

But...you realised the dangers and turned around. Good old Dom was prepared to sacrifice his nieces for a laugh. Don't defend people that don't have your integrity.

As I have always stated I was defending what he did..cause If :wavey:I had a motor I'd be in it now heading north..

Ain't it funny how a thread goes quiet for a good 20 to 30 minutes, then all of a sudden it's a flurry of attacks on certain members...

Are you all bored or something...go have a walk fgs...or a wank if you cant be bothered...

I'm. not on about me or you...I'm on about the sustained attack on lt for having an opinion by other members...look at the usual group post timings of posts..ita obviously still being discussed by others before they flurry post together.

That’s what was advised...however there was an exemption if childcare was an issue. Going 260 miles to his mothers therefore was not a rule break, it’s not his fault they live so far away...and that was his only option for possible childcare.
The rule break was the drive out to the castle...

I don't know anything about that, but I will say there have been times when I've posted stuff that's caused a "debate" between you and I, or Liv and I, or LT and I, and then you all suddenly rush in together. Now, I don't believe you're all whatsapping for the right moment to come at me, but it does look that way, so maybe affording others the same chance of coincidence wouldn't be a bad thing?

The exception for young children was but in place to safeguard children in abusive and negligent households, it wasn’t meant to be abused by those in power do they could have a family holiday for some family birthdays, it was all against the rules

His wifes sister lived nearby, and they didn't have any emergency or childcare needs. His family didn't provide a childcare at all.

Tbf, that's something else he didn't properly explain as when questioned about the family he had living in London, even just a street away he responded he "hadn't considered it".

His trip to Durham had zilch to do with requiring immediate childcare for coronavirus reasons IMO. Did the child even make contact with the nieces or grandparents?

I don't know why I'm shocked, but I am, that the advisor to the bloody Prime Minister can't seem to get his simple story straight (whether it's truth or make believe) and just digs a deeper hole with every word he speaks. :joker:

Parm says... having been posting all day long.

Stepping back and looking again I think you are correct...I've had it too so maybe I was judging on the way I felt at the time...even tonight I've had an incident via PM for the first time since toy soldier asked people to PM something about themselves..right out of the blue so I guess I am a bit paranoid jax...

I've stood back now though.. and put the kettle on.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I mean going on a 30 minute drive to a castle to test your eyesight is just wrong on all levels and a blatant lie.

You have no evidence to say that

[Marsh.]

Yeah Morgan where is your evidence to say driving with eyesight impairment is wrong?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I don't know anything about that, but I will say there have been times when I've posted stuff that's caused a "debate" between you and I, or Liv and I, or LT and I, and then you all suddenly rush in together.

Lol, that is somewhat paranoid. It's also not true

[Beso]

Me and lt never talk..hes a fifer, and to young.

[The Slim Reaper]

Lol, that is somewhat paranoid. It's also not true

It's the opposite of paranoid. It's saying that it's a coincidence if you all pop on together, and maybe that's the same for others too. You're really struggling to read what I'm writing recently - you need a 30 minute drive with a kid in the backseat :smug:

[user104658]

tonight I've had an incident via PM for the first time since toy soldier asked people to PM something about themselves

An incident? I asked people to PM things about themself? ... ? :umm2:

[Marsh.]

Toy Soldier soliciting for nudes that got sent to Parm by mistake?

[Beso]

Yes but I was the only one to reply...that for me was a major incident.

[user104658]

I think I vaguely remember the thread which was a tongue-in-cheek thread about how I never get PM's but I honestly don't remember your PM Parmy, and my PM inbox only goes back to last June, so if it was before that it isn't there. All I can really say is, there's a relatively good chance I didn't actually read it, and typing that out loud I can appreciate it's sort of ****ty as you took the time to write one, so I can only apologise.

It was twice the length of your groveeling apology:joker:

But I guess it's ok and I accept it..

yes most definitely
