Big deal. He's a top aide and great at his job.

-18 ( +2 / -20 )

The bloke that made the Coronavirus rules for Johnson and said that he didn’t care if old people died drove 250 miles with an child, while ill with the virus, to visit his elderly and vulnerable parents. Others have been sent to prison or fined for less. Even more sickening is the sight of Cabinet ministers making excuses for this appalling and illegal behaviour. The UK Government is morally bankrupt. The fact Cummings won’t resign, or has nor ben sacked, shows the contempt he and his mates show for the British people.

He’s part of the reason why we have the highest death toll in Europe.

Garbage.

America has Stephen Miller. Britain has Dominic Cummings. And I'm not just talking about their shiny heads!

If you asked a three-year old to draw a “nasty man”, that’s what you’d get....

Since when have politicians and bureaucrats not been hypocrites? They live their lives telling other people what to do while not practicing what they preach.

Since when have politicians and bureaucrats not been hypocrites?

What's your point here? That we should just lay down and accept it? They should be allowed to do it because some always have? We should allow it because it's just the way things are?

Can be found under arrogant self-important narcissist.

When challenged Cummings vomited “so what, not bothered, who cares about looks” ………

A charisma bypass at birth.

Believed/rumoured to be a competent strategist, if one can manage to remain in the room long enough without beating Cummings senseless with an article of furniture.

Privilege.

The lockdown rules were clear, and he broke several of them with this journey. People were fined for less; meanwhile he is responding with dismissive arrogance.

He said Johnson must explain why “it looks like there is one rule for those at the center of government and one rule for rest of the country.”

Because there are always exceptions to the rule...

Reports today say he broke the lockdown a second time. Still Cabinet Ministers are falling over themselves to excuse him. Most of the UK aren’t accepting this bollocks.

So you would be okay with getting stopped by the police and fined for doing the same thing while he gets away with it and his Tory bosses stick up for him?

An absolute disgrace and insult to all those who have worked so hard to prevent the spread of the virus.

Do as you're told, say the Tories. Except if you're one of us...

It's a huge deal. At the very, very least, he should be sacked.

They also know what happens in a revolution. Especially to leaders and lackeys who lord their arrogance over us mere serfs.

Do what I say not what I do.

Perfect example of elitism.

Get gone already you unelected creepy weirdo. And lying Johnson too.

The US is polarized between North (Democrats) and South (Republicans) and has always been so. The UK started this, and has their longer split between North (Labour) and South (Conservative) ... or you could take that further and say the Scots & the English...

Hypocracy and stupidity knows no boundaries. It's OK for a 'top aide' for Bozo to break the lockdown and endanger others, and Dictator Donnie goes golfing this weekend -fiddling while America suffers.

Scumbags!
