Gone now, but I doubt that was hacked.

Hopefully someone gets fired for that.

So they either seen the car on the date they claimed. Seen it on another date and are making up the date. Have been sent the number plate by someone who knows it or looked it up on a government system and are making a false accusation.

They say their internet search history will show them looking for images of Dom’s car on or around that date. That’s not to say they’ve not spent other occasions looking for Dom’s car and deleted it from his search history.

Easy for the police to check, verify with Dom and when Dom produces car GPS or other records of being in London charge the witness with wasting police time. Easy. Unless...

It's quite funny but for once we agree.

It's unprofessional, the Civil Service must be neutral even if they think the Government is way out of line. It doesn't achieve or help anything either.

That does not tell you who owns it.

What is the Reg then? Because if you can read it off that photo, you are very talented.

You nor I know his personal situation or the support network around him so any conclusion is speculation and not a fact.

Did he stay in a separate building or annex? If so what is the issue?

Allegedly, And corroborated, so not a fact

They spoke to his father, well actually his father spoke to them. The police did not visit the property.

Opinion not fact.


I looked at your facts and found them to be not facts.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

It was never stated he looked up the reg to see who owns it.

Doesn’t mean it’s a lie, ooh there’s that word again “Alleged.“

Then why would he look it up?

Yeah I’m always looking up the reg’s of random cars to see if they’re taxed and tested. I’m sure others do it too. Great way to spend an evening.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

The articles in the paper today say that he looked up pictures of Dominic Cummings and found one of him with a car matching five letters of the registration plate of the one they saw ‘him’ with in Durham the others presumably not visible (else there’s no story).

I’m not sure why people are wilfully misinterpreting that to imply ownership or some unauthorised computer use.

This is something the police could easily follow up on and sort out in a few minutes.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Ah, 70, the old boy is retired so we can file unlawful computer use under unlikely. Unless breaking and entering and hacking are specialties...

Ooh he’s filed a complaint.

How exciting.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Yes, but it doesn’t answer the mystery of what or indeed how he searched the number plate.

If he had access to the DVLA database to check owners of registration plates he abused his position, and he should be reprimanded for it. If it was me accessing private information for non-business reasons - I would lose my job.

So those that are calling for Cummings head, should also be calling for this guys head - if he has breached data protection legislation.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

See my post above. It’s now with the police. The old boy has given a version of events within the law, as a retired chemistry teacher I’m unsure how he could possibly have access to a Government computer to break any law. However, we will soon find out. :)

I’m 100% certain you will join me in welcoming police involvement in this matter.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

So where is he going to look it up to find the details of who owns it? Does he work for the Police or DVLA?

Logic would state that he found out who it was and was trying to get some dirt on him to see if it was taxed and had an MOT. Just like people on Facebook look up the reg plates of Police cars and then post they have no MOT without understanding what they are actually posting.

This is not about what you or I would do, its what one certain person might do.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

An interesting day. Boris's ldefence of Cummings was neatly summed up by The Times' Writer-in-Chief Philip Collins
The Financial Times' Chief features writer Henry Mance observed
Many commentators went far further, with variations on the taking-the-public-for-idiots and one-rule-for-them, another-rule-for-us themes.

A reminder of two key allegations:
- Travelling 30 miles on his wife's birthday (12th April) to Barnard Castle at a time when travel for non-essential purposes was not allowed. This trip has not been denied by the Government.
- Travelling 264 miles with symptoms of the virus at a time when no exceptions were permitted and the clear policy for anyone with symptoms was to stay home and isolate. The Government has acknowledged this journey but tried to obfuscate matters by playing up childcare. Some have even mentioned an exception introduced some two weeks later, but the public is wiser than this.

Boris gets to keep Cummings for now but his government's reputation is now tarnished and the press will persist with their questions. It's bad news for efforts to enforce the lockdown and a clearly-divided Conservative Party but good news for Cummins and the opposition parties.

Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures
 

Several more scientists on that committee have come out and said the same. Meanwhile, more Tory MPs are breaking ranks to say he has to go.

I am not sure this is sustainable.
