Once again and for many times you keep missing the point

Not surprised though as I read your comments and it is obvious that you are a Tory supporter and very bias towards this party 

It matters not where one lives if one’s original is another country

Here is Spain we live as their guests and I must admit most are treated much better than living in UK not to mention better quality of life much friendlier people and safety and security 

So you just stick with that incompetent bunch who are in charge and soon you and all those who were duped to elected them will realize your mistakes 

But good luck whatever your views 

I am a Tory supporter and always will be and I wasnt duped.

Thankyou for your kind words and good luck to you

I never said Cummings was elected but the press are using him as a pawn in a game to try and bring down a democratic elected government, if you want to look at the rights and wrongs please let me know your views on the 3 labour MP’s who have broken lockdown rules with going to a funeral with other 100 others, visiting my dad on his birthday and poping to London to see my dad. I’m sure Boris will be happy to sack Cummings who is just an advisor not a decision maker just as soon as Kier sacks the three MP’s as above.

Dominic Cummings is not elected he is employed as an adviser- however whatever his excuse for breaking his own rules on lockdown he clearly confessed that he was worried about his eyesight so in an attempt to find out how serious his eyesight was he decided to take a 60 mile round  trip- putting a 4 year old child in his car and his wife, not withstanding the risk to other road users if his sight was not good enough for safe driving, how many fathers would even contemplate such a potentially dangerous activity ?, his Doctor had already said he was well enough for a return to work, wouldn't you think that the Doctor would have mentioned any problems with his eyesight?, we all know that his reasons for this trip was  purely for a day out with his family- if I'm wrong then the only other reason was simply to test his eyesight, and if that's true he should be prosecuted for driving whilst unfit...

You certainly have a point regarding 3 labour mps also there was the case of Robert Jenrick, government minister ,I seem to recall that although it was news and penalties were mentioned it seemed to blow over very quickly. I can only think that the difference is he ,Dominic Cummings was the person behind the slogan Stay Home ,Protect the NHS and Save Lifes and that he was going against his own advise .,the thing that really gets me is the excuse for being at Barnard Castle ,he must think.the public morons to believe the test eyesight tale

I think this subject has been covered enough but rightly so Mickhughes1 has mentioned the likes of 

Steven Kinnock labour Mp drove to Wales for birthday with father.

Tahir Ali labour Mp drove to the Midlands to attend two prayer meetings for funerals with over 100 people in attendance no social distancing.

Ian Blackford SNP 600 mile round trip reason unknown.

Jeremy Corbyn labour Mp photographed in park with stranger no social distancing ( should he actually be out at his age).

Alistair Cambell chief advisor to Tony Blair took UK to war on lies demands resignation of Cummings has a selfie in london with speedo mick (hes the guy that walks to Everton matches in his speedos for charity) no social distancing.

And Kier Starmer former head of CPS who failed to prosecute Jimmy Saville also told the police not to prosecute Asian gang groomers has the temerity to say if he was in charge he would sack Cummings. talk about.

Now my point on here is that very little comment if any has been mentioned  about the above apart from my comments and now Mickhughes1, and not one person has come back on this thread and castigated  the above for doing far worse than Cummings or are you indifferent to what's happening because of political alligiences. If we have to make it political let's be fare and not hateful.

People keep saying one rule for them and one rule for us well your damned right on this occasion.

As a lifelong Tory voter, I'm saying that Boris said,  and Cummings acted legally and with integrity - well putting your son and wife in a car when you think you may have impaired eyesight is hardly the act of a responsible father and if that wasn't true then he must be lying!, by the way if you think that this subject has been well covered, why respond? The Labour Mps you mention didn't drive under the influence or with any other impediments that they admitted - unlike Cummings.

Certainly hard to defend  these facts ,and I wont try 2 ,regards  Keir Starmer was never a fan since he decided to abandon democracy when he called for ,to put any agreement back to people, regards Ian Blackford no.time for him whatsoever beats the same drum all the time ,told the referendum on Scotland leaving UK was once in a lifetime experience and despite me voting to leave and accepting the result to stay SNP looking for another vote ,too many hypocrites as MPs these days .Dominic Cummings  is a side issue the main focus should be on the UK governments performances during this pandemic ,and as with previous statement it's hard to defend ,just seen ano,tther government minister on Sky news stating the furlough scheme has to end and people  should get back to work as if it's the public's fault that they are off work

John52 I agree with you about Cummings excuse for the Barnard castle trip very stupid and the police have dealt with it and put it to bed.

I also note how you skip quickly past the three labour MPs without condemnation, and mention Robert Jenrick government minister but no explanation about him if hes done wrong it needs sorting and anyone blatantly breaking the rules should be dealt with whoever they are. Dismissed no there would be a lot of unemployment about

But to continually hound and harass someone for something like this especially what the gutter press has been doing is unforgivable, remember the presenter who was being taken to court for alleged assault on her boyfriend hounded day in day out found dead committed she had committed suicide. Do not think this cannot happen to anybody it can no matter how strong and tough you think people are they take there lives. This hounding is just another form of bullying which is only done by cowards.

My latter comments are not directed personally to anyone on here.

Be kind people.

Well I certainly agree that we and the Government should concentrate on this dreadful Pandemic and any ' minor' side issues should be dealt with as and when, however Mr Cummings was the creator of the Lockdown rules- (allegedly)  and should have shown commonsense in his actions as one would expect, this has caused a great deal of anger amongst the bereaved, so not quite a side issue. "stay safe and at home".
