The Cummings Effect

[diddlydo]

Our daughter has hitherto refused to meet my husband and me together because "It's against the rules". She is now incandescent with rage about Cummings and is now prepared to bend the rules. is this the effect that DC and Boris want?

[diddlydo]

Not a political swipe at all. Please read my long post carefully and then come back with counter-arguments. And by the way, it's "should have" not "should of".

07:53 Classic ‘moving the goalposts’ post.

No need for a hyphen between counter and arguments. Bad form starting a sentence with a conjunction (and).

Naomi, I've said it numerous times, if an apology is forthcoming from Cummings, then he'd see public opinion slowly drift away from having his head on a pike.

Sure, there will still be some calling for hos resignation, but that's of a result of his arrogance in not apologising sooner. That is just something he and Boris will have to put up with for the time being, but it will pass in time. Anyone still protesting after that is a political chancer, or a desperate leftist.

And what you gonna do about it? ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Nuffink (apart from use it as a ‘people in glass houses’ comment) ;-)

We're all friends here Diddly, you can call him Gulliver like we all do :oD

[Mozz71]

Heh heh. Can't argue with that ZM.

"Not a political swipe at all."

"She is now incandescent with rage about Cummings and is now prepared to bend the rules"...a truly pathetic attempt as an excuse to post...

of course it isnt...its just an excuse to get even more mileage out of this...why arent you bangin on about A Campbell who has admitted to breaking the rules, or any of the others ?

Still sad bitter and obsessed...get over yourself, get a life, do something before your pathalogical hatred consumes you.....

Haaaaaaaa! If I could give you best answer for ^that Mozz, I would :o)

[Peter Pedant]

not keen on Dom Cummings and his er comings and goings
( at least he doesnt have a lover at every petrol station - or does he?)

but echo OP = streets now thronging
winos whining - of course
beggars begging and so on

yeah do you think Trump will BAN AB because it is too - TRUE to life?

[Bobbisox1]

No but I think AB should ban the C word from here on in!

[AZardoz]

Pardon me ... I didn't realize that this is how you folks entertain yourselves, arguing with the not-quite-there. Enjoy.

FF: "Haven't you boasted about ignoring one way systems in supermarkets intended to help social distancing? Now that makes some incandescent with rage. " - good point and that's much more likely to pass on the disease. I raised a point about this yesterday and contributors, including diddly, mostly backed the transgressors and attacked me: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1708552-3.html

[Mozz71]

Somehow I don't think Diddly will honour me with BA for that one Naomi lol

[ToraToraTora]

//My husband has put the DC affair up with the Profumo Affair on the scandal-scale.// - well up to now your husband has been one of the people I think most deserves a medal of some sort. If this is true though I see now why he is your husband.

[ToraToraTora]

mozz 08:11, that would explain it, PMSL!

[naomi24]

Mozz. You're probably right. :o)

diddly, in fairness if you're not bothered about sticking to the rules you're hardly justified in criticizing others.

[Peter Pedant]

// ‘Incandescent with rage’? Flipping heck, diddly. She sounds in a bad way. Is she having counselling?//

foo dat funny dat ! - well a few of them (incandescents) around - and I dont blame them. BUT quite a few are isolating because they dont want to get it or give it to old relatives rather than they are following rules.

track and isolate is only one generation or step - first degree contacts and NOT their contacts - otherwise being able to multiply I could easily see that the whole country wuld be back self isolating

self isolating - on tee vee now
South Koreans enforcing
Germans dont need to - social forces are sufficient

the Dom episode has just made life more difficult

// //My husband has put the DC affair up with the Profumo Affair on the scandal-scale.// -//

your husband has far too good a memory and should for his own safety be nowhere near AB ! ter daah ! - yeah self isolate that is what I am saying for his own mental health

- and who plays the part of Ivanov the cultural attache at the Russian embassy ? hmm perhaps a chinese embassy official who visits er gay clubs at night - dressed as a geisha ( yeah in dis-geisha!) - god I would read the newspapers if that were the case

carry on everyone
