I don't think he or his wife are telling the truth

But that's 'probably' just me. I'm completely lost in the comings (sic) and goings in this thread.

All could have been avoided if hadn't said she felt unwell I guess . . . she was tested wasn't she?

Maybe it is if your vision is weird, though granted that would be the user.

He's said not had to wear his glasses in years. True statement because big clue: 2014 was years ago. :rolleyes:

Cars are not designed to kill people, in fact they are designed not to kill people, so they are not "killing machines".

It was a figure of speech. Thought that might have been obvious.

Short sightedness does not get better on it's own - it can only be improved with glasses or laser surgery.

You can't be "almost blind", and then miraculously not need glasses.

Also, DC lied today when he said
Quote:

I have warned of the dangers of pandemics. Last year I wrote about the possible threat of coronaviruses and the urgent need for planning.
This shows what he originally wrote in his blog last year - references to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year.

Actually, it was modified on the 14th of April this year <lastmod>2020-04-14T20:55:20+00:00</lastmod> - his first day back at work...

How else would you explain a family day trip on your wife's birthday at a time when the messaging you've helped devise says such inessential trips are against the rules? I'm not sure even given a month a half, J.K. Rowling could come up with a convincing story.

Cummings has said he and his wife have not been tested.

Cummings has said no one in his family including him has been tested.

His son was tested at the hospital

A few days later, the hospital said that he tested negative

It was Mrs Cummings birthday on their day trip to Barnard Castle, which was nice ;)

This is not “watergate”, the media need to move on as it is getting very tedious and very boring.

It’s not going to bring down the Government, it’s not going to bring down the PM, it doesn’t even look like it will bring down him.

If the media keep pushing and pushing for his head, and they don’t get it, it will appear a bit desperate.

I am not sure I have ever known Johnson to be "almost blind" perhaps he was using that term figuratively, perhaps try not to get sucked in to literal meanings Hugh.

Not really, I’m not hounding for his resignation or for him to be sacked. All I’d like to see is a competent investigation and at the end IF he’s guilty of any law breaking then to be punished accordingly.

I’m sorry to hear your disappointed in me. I’ll try not to lie awake worrying about it.

That's not how you said it. You said it because you have a bias, you have a desire to see him convicted and lose his job. This is just showing hatred for someone regardless of their innocence.

To clarify, I am disappointed in your lack of objectionable judgement that you normally present yourself with, usually. Lacking today though because of who Cummings is.
