I’ve already said I’ll give you the childcare one.

The excuse for driving between Durham & Barnard Castle is not valid.

Durham Constabulary has issued a further statement confirming that an officer spoke to Dominic Cummings' father on 1 April.

The force says: "Mr Cummings confirmed that his son, his son's wife and child were present at the property.

"He told the officer that his son and son's wife were displaying symptoms of coronavirus and were self-isolating in part of the property."

The force adds: "We can further confirm that our officer gave no specific advice on coronavirus to any members of the family and that Durham Constabulary deemed that no further action was required in that regard."

But the officer did "provide the family with advice on security issues".

That relates to the drive from London to Durham NOT his actions whilst in Durham and the surrounding areas.

The acting PCC for Durham has written to Durham CC and requested a full investigation

Well cheers for giving me the childcare one, I wasn't aware I was seeking any approval on it though.

He has left his residence for medical reasons, it's perfectly valid.

Interestingly he’s just stated that his parents house is five miles from the hospital in Durham (Dryburn) yet to test his eyesight he drives to Barnard Castle rather than into say central Durham then out onto the A689 and to the A1 and back.

So during the lockdown it would have been perfectly acceptable For me to go out for a ride on my motorbike to see if I could get rid of a headache?

Motorbikes are noisy, I don't see how they could cure a headache.

Next?

Of course he did....

Sounds legit...

On a more serious note, driving to test your eyesight could be construed as an offence under the RTA 1988 Section 96

96 Driving with uncorrected defective eyesight.

(1)If a person drives a motor vehicle on a road while his eyesight is such (whether through a defect which cannot be or one which is not for the time being sufficiently corrected) that he cannot comply with any requirement as to eyesight prescribed under this Part of this Act for the purposes of tests of competence to drive, he is guilty of an offence.

And there we have it, the evidence right there that it's barely over an hour since Dom's statement and there is GIF's and fake mockery doing the circles already. Pathetic.

Absolutely, the government haven’t been held to any account for days.

Out of all the things that have happened mockery is pretty universal and rather harmless.

Like this one:

The evidence is that people are mocking someone who would take a 4 year old child* in a car when he wasn't sure if his eyesight was safe for driving - He said his vision had been "a bit weird" so his wife suggested to "drive down the road" to check it.

*the one he had driven over 260 miles to keep safe.

That they feel safe in doing so should tell you everything you need to know about what’s really going on here.

Ha, absolutely, my MP Craig Whittaker was one of the MPs calling for him go and he doesn’t put his head above the parapet for nothing or nobody.

Do you think it would help you?

An headache is hardly a serious ailment. So I doubt it would save you had you been stopped. Dom and his wife were just coming over far more serious issues, potentially, Covid-19. They were outside of the quarantine required.

With all due respect, getting into a car when your vision has been a bit weird, with the family might I add to test to see if your eye site is OK would probably not save you either.

Vision can be weird but was it totally defective to the point he could no longer legally drive at all, clearly not.

Next?

(and btw this is not a license for you to barrage me with constant nitty gritty arguments Mythica.)

Probably not. It depends on what's going on. The press were not acting like slags over the expenses scandal, for example.
