Re: Dominic Cummings visited parents during lockdown measures

All the other points you raise are conjecture. Allegedly this, one witness saw that, where are the photos, where is the video evidence?

I can say I saw Elton John walking down my road yesterday, saying it and proving it, are two different things.

They saw sweet FA because it's bullshit.

I am still waiting for you to prove his guilt, not spin the media mantra which is most certainly not evidence of any guilt whatsoever!

As I said innocent until proven guilty exists for a reason. We do not do trial by media in this country and it's utterly sad how people follow the news like lost sheep.
To counter your points.

Just because Dominic says something, & Boris agrees with him doesn't make it the gospel truth. I'm less concerned about him taking his family to Durham than I am of the two alleged times he was spotted.


Your 2nd statement is absolutely correct, and in fact in a very rare condition we agree with each other witnesses should be interviewed and their statements decided to be true or false based on the availability of any evidence. Just because we don't have it yet doesn't mean to say it doesn't exist (of course it doesn't mean to say it does either!!) thats the point of witness statements, until they're backed up with hard evidence they are as you say speculation and conjecture and only an investigation will reveal ultimately what did or did not happen. You therefore cannot say 'They saw sweet FA because it's bullshit' any more than i can say 'Sack him' because neither of us KNOW for sure.

Completely agree that this shouldn't be trial by media, BUT, due to it's severity. it shouldn't be swept under the carpet either. There should be a formal investigation and the results acted on accordingly.

I don't like Dominic Cummings one little bit, BUT in this instance if it can be proven that the 'eyewitnesses' are lying then i would have no problem with him suing them off the face of the planet.

Finally, I'd love to get the view of an old friend and colleague of mine (ex ACC at Durham) I get the feeling he wont be talking about it
