Why did Dominic Cummings go to Durham?

to get to the 'other side'

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 24 May 2020 20:43 (three years ago) link

good to know that the families of each of the 36,793 people officially reported to have died of covid-19 to date all had the green light to pinball around the country however they saw fit

Mr Cummings goes off to Durham
Along the A1(M)
Then he comes home each weekend
Only to go off again
So-
Who do you think you are kidding Mr Cummings
If you think this story's done

Yes that's true about the tenants but they look like plush Islington houses and that's what he'll want people to see.

God, Whats left on the prescribed list?

He broke into a pub because he desperately needed to down a Guinness in memorium?

domcum’s response: “ok I’ll bite who is keir starmer”

he did this to quite good effect during the proroguing of parliament debacle and some worthless labour right wanker mp tried a "spontaneous" - you are an outrage to parliamentary democracy - type attack on him while a friend filmed it and he replied " i don't even know who you are.. " I liked that moment tbh!

They might but what they’re saying is what’s being felt all over the country.

A plush Islington house that he lives in... some of the time.

Note that it’s the New Statesman and specifically that toad who wrote the piece about universities being a con for ‘sub-prime students’ running interference about this uncle.

ShariVari, Sunday, 24 May 2020 21:28 (three years ago) link

it’s a remarkable piece of boot-throating

I don't think those houses will look particularly plush to people who don't live in London - which is most people.

You get a better class of neighbour in Barnsbury though

Ah right, is that where it is.

We should do Guess the Street come on anvil I bet you've almost worked it out already.

nashwan, Sunday, 24 May 2020 21:47 (three years ago) link

I spent twenty minutes looking round Streetview for it, think I figured it out but that area all looks the same

while the city bleeps (Matt #2), Sunday, 24 May 2020 21:59 (three years ago) link

The sequence of houses with curved window arches on the top floor you can see at the start of the clip is relatively unusual. I thought he might be on a street in N1 I lived on myself for a while (more De Beauvoir than Barnsbury) but no.

nashwan, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:02 (three years ago) link

I think I know where he lives but for obvious reasons I’m not going to post it on here.

gyac, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link

Absolutely is in de Beauvoir, many of those streets off Essex Road have houses like that and they’re very particular to that part of Islington. Not Englefield or Northchurch Roads, though

Isn't it Ockenden Street?

Shh

I was miles out! Probably why it's £1.6m and not £3m.

Easy enough to find out with a little googling!

Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:24 (three years ago) link

So many streets look like that in North London though, it could have been anywhere.

That video was good to see

Maybe Thursdays 8pm can be 'harangue Cummings' instead of clap for the NHS, until he's chained in the hold of a clipper and sent to the colonies

while the city bleeps (Matt #2), Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:37 (three years ago) link

At which point we’d probably give him a parade

El Tomboto, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:42 (three years ago) link

So many streets look like that in North London though, it could have been anywhere.

I couldn't find any others streets in N1 with those third storey arched windows though. Now I'm obsessed with them.

nashwan, Sunday, 24 May 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link

They’re getting absolutely rinsed by the C of E.

Lots of calls for booing at 7.55 on Thursday, before the NHS clap.

would be quite happy to replace booing with bullets, but it's a start!

penny for calz' thoughts now the crybullies are weaponising autism

imago, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:16 (three years ago) link

could you expand some more on that please Louis? I've completely missed whatever this is so far.

calzino, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:19 (three years ago) link

essentially the hard-right loons who think Corbyn is the world's worst racist are playing the 'gotcha' on the entire left/centre/etc because cummings drove to durham - get this - because his son is in fact autistic and his (dom's) mother is a SEN teacher whom the child was familiar with so actually the child would have been distressed if he hadn't done this and actually he's a hero and we the public are insensitive and probably the real bigots

imago, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:21 (three years ago) link

as i say, penny for your thoughts

imago, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:21 (three years ago) link

must be very hard for the poor kid, having to settle for a castle when all the sensory playgrounds are closed. it must be hard for his autistic son as well!

calzino, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:30 (three years ago) link

if one thing I've learned in the last 18 years of being a parent of an autistic kid it is that we are actually the biggest wankers going at the best of times!

calzino, Sunday, 24 May 2020 23:34 (three years ago) link

hence a series like the a word getting continued rather than fucking incinerated

Sky's unerring knack of unearthing Spiked/Living Marxism type contrarian wankers strikes again, some woman on SkyNews boohooing about the media's witch hunt against Dominic Cummings.

It's a 'bubble story' apparently. I'd round these cunts up and leave them in a disused oil rig in the North Sea.

Education secretary Gavin Williamson said Dominic Cummings should not resign “because he has made it clear that he’s broken no rules and he’s broken no laws”.

The Cabinet minister sidestepped a question on whether Mr Cummings would have done the wrong thing if he had been a member of the public. He said:

I don’t have the details of all the various dates but the two dates that I do know very clearly is the June 1 when primary schools will start opening their schools and welcoming in pupils for the first time in over two months, and June 15 when secondary schools can start opening their doors and welcoming in years 10 and 12.


smooth pivot to your talking points there gav, fuckin’ seamless

Gotta love the toadying. “He told me it was fine so I don’t need my own opinion.”

Second wave here on time

NEW: Weston Super Mare General Hospital will temporarily stop accepting new patients, including into its A&E department, as of 8am today.

“a precautionary measure to maintain safety of staff & patients in response to the high number of patients with Coronavirus in the hospital”
