Dominic Cummings

daft bugger...... DOH

 

If it takes 5 years to get through to everyone then it would be worth it

 

Agreed. I find Boris and the cabinet's insistence that we "move on" to be quite distasteful. It's not for those accused of wrongdoing to dictate when those feeling wronged should move on, otherwise we'd have a very different and I'd argue overly lenient legal system.

 

This guy said it best...

 

Why not?

 

because it was on the news the other day, BoJo backing him up and Cummings refusing to accept any wrong doings.

 

As others have said, it's not for them to dictate. The Labour party anti semitism questioning went on for a lot longer and they werent even in government.

 

I'll just leave this here...

 

Police confirm Cummings DID breach lockdown!!

 

then they should arrest him and charge him.

 

Not laughing at us, he was just finding Kay Burley's feeble attack amusing, as I did.

She'd be ok reading the news off an autocue, but in depth reporting is probably beyond her limits.

 

So if your government consistently lie to you you're supposed to say ok, we 'll make an issue of it for a week or so and then let's forget about it?
That 's precisely why they DO keep lying to you. They know you 'll get bored. They know you're now so uninterested that you 'll just say "oh well all politicians are the same aren't they?" .
It's why here and abroad democracy is heading down the tubes. Because they know a significant portion of the population really can't be arsed as long as they've got their pub and their footy.

 

Course it’s a laughing matter that something that’s supposed to help save many lives that’s successfully up and running For months in other countries . It’s fekin hilarious intit . Obviously you havnt been affected by this as has many other people some reading this board . But hey let’s not get in the way of your entertainment and the blunders of the Dominic Cummings party Eh .

 

On March 27 2020, Dominic Cummings drove to Durham to self-isolate in a property owned by his father.

Durham Constabulary does not consider that by locating himself at his father’s premises, Mr Cummings committed an offence contrary to regulation six of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020. (We are concerned here with breaches of the regulations, not the general Government guidance to “stay at home”.)

On April 12 2020, Mr Cummings drove approximately 26 miles from his father’s property to Barnard Castle with his wife and son. He stated on May 25 2020 that the purpose of this drive was to test his resilience to drive to London the following day, including whether his eyesight was sufficiently recovered, his period of self-isolation having ended.

Durham Constabulary have examined the circumstances surrounding the journey to Barnard Castle (including ANPR, witness evidence and a review of Mr Cummings’ press conference on May 25 2020) and have concluded that there might have been a minor breach of the regulations that would have warranted police intervention. Durham Constabulary view this as minor because there was no apparent breach of social distancing.

Had a Durham Constabulary police officer stopped Mr Cummings driving to or from Barnard Castle, the officer would have spoken to him, and, having established the facts, likely advised Mr Cummings to return to the address in Durham, providing advice on the dangers of travelling during the pandemic crisis.

Had this advice been accepted by Mr Cummings, no enforcement action would have been taken.

In line with Durham Constabulary’s general approach throughout the pandemic, there is no intention to take retrospective action in respect of the Barnard Castle incident since this would amount to treating Mr Cummings differently from other members of the public. Durham Constabulary has not taken retrospective action against any other person.

By way of further context, Durham Constabulary has followed Government guidance on management of alleged breaches of the regulations with the emphasis on the NPCC and College of Policing 4Es: Engage, Explain and Encourage before Enforcement.

Finally, commentary in the media has suggested that Mr Cummings was in Durham on April 19 2020. Mr Cummings denies this and Durham Constabulary have seen insufficient evidence to support this allegation.

Therefore Durham Constabulary will take no further action in this matter and has informed Mr Cummings of this decision.

 

They haven’t

 

The irony in this post is strong.

 

Clearly you haven’t read their statement.

they said they’re not charging him.

 

I read it in full

“concluded that there might have been a minor breach of the regulations “

how does might have, change to DID

 

Like there's any chance he would have accepted that advice!
