Its been reported she is doing it herself via a zoom hairdresser and if you look it up, you will find the info.

 

Some dafty on the reconstruction thread noticed her hair had changed colour too.

 

Woman in colouring her own hair shock.

 

Christ I know a few guys my age whose grey hinta are miraculously disappearing and continue to do so during lockdown.

 

Even blokes can dye their own hair, at home too.

Cuts own hair via zoom hairdresser ? Zoomer 😂

I have found myself slightly amused looking at the media and particulary the photographers, outside Cummings house. They ain’t social distancing that’s for sure😂

 

Despite many hopes their is now way this brings this government down. It has a massive majority and we are in time of national crisis.

 

Even if the furore continues, it won’t damage the tories much overall. Worst happens they have to buckle and sack him. The story then goes away and tories continue doing what tories do. 
 

As an aside I think he should go. Though I think perhaps more based on my dislike of him than as a result of the offense. 


The irony was pretty unbelievable.

Who is that? Trapper? He has been on my ignore for a long time.

Wish mine would just go grey and be done with it instead of having about 6 different shades of browns and greys.

Just to change the discussion a bit this is a link to what the money raised by Captain / Sir / Good Old Egg Tom, the 33 million is being used for at the moment.   

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52758683

 

Apart from sticking a notices up in a few spare rooms and calling them rest areas, it is a lot of tea, coffee, crisps and Mars Bars to buy.  At the time of donation folk possibly thought it would be going to bigger things, as mentioned in the article when in fact the charity receiving the money was only responsible for the health and well being of NHS staff.

 

Not having a go at anything or anyone here but it just sounds a bit daft after all the outcry in recent months in relation to the whole terrible episode that the report is highlighting buying snacks.

 

The issue is that it is a huge amount of money and perhaps NHS Charities Together have little experience in dealing with funds of this scale.

Tripper never recovered from the Alex Salmond verdict.

He broke the rules he should go. I don’t like him and wish he’d get to ****. 
 

I do feel there is a over reaction though due to him being a odious prick. I didn’t believe Calderwood should have went, so I recognise in myself I have a different view based on my dislike of the guy. 
 

As I say don’t think it’s going to have much impact on the tories. Worst case for them they have to sack him and if that happens, he still be doing what he’s doing just through a different method. 
 

This isn’t aimed at you but more a general comment is that thinking something will happen doesn’t mean you want it to happen. 

There's an overreaction for a bunch of reasons, pent up frustration, anger at the government's handling, mistrust, suspicion, and also that Cummings is a prick.

It's understandable, you see individuals on here finding it stressful and getting touchy, no surprise it's happening everywhere.

Vote of no confidence will shorten that 4 years, bud. And there are many Conservative MPs who are not happy with this and would be happy enough to bring down Boris and his Cabinet of psychos.

Many of the backbenchers would have been prepared to stick by Cummings-Johnsom or at worst 'no comment' but they are being inundated with emails and so on from really angry constituents.

People bring up no-name back benchers but fail to see the entire senior cabinet has backed Cummings.

You do realise that cabinet members are obliged to defend the indefensible,   otherwise they tend to be ex-cabinet members?

 

"Fail to see... "    :rofl:

 

Nah,   we see that likes.   Some of us can interpret it for what it is.

Calderwood went to her holiday house twice and was initially defended by Sturgeon  - Ferguson  thought it was okay to meet up with his lover  - Cummings went for family support .  Leave your party politics behind ?

 

Totally 

 

From a public health, consistent message to save lives, what Cummings did was inexcusable.

Safeguarding exceptions have always been part of the rules.

 

Quote

6d - To provide care and assistance, including relevant personal care within the meaning of paragraph 7(3b) of schedule 4 to the safeguarding of vulnerable groups act 2006, to a vulnerable person, or to provide emergency assistance.

Who would have thought at the beginning of lock down we could say that it would be Dominic Cummings who would unite the nation.  Voters from all parties, the media, celebrities together united in a common goal!

She kept telling every reporter at the daily briefing that Calderwood was too important to get rid off.

 

Calderwood apologised unreservedly. 

 

Cummings says he was right to do what he did.

Again, was he or wasn't he infected, or so ill, but! still able to drive 250 miles without stopping.

Surely there must be road traffic act violation in there somewhere.

Tell that to all the people who never knew there were exceptions. 

 

You can quote the briefings where they highlight these exceptions. Where the message wasn't 'Stay at Home'.

His wife's magazine articles make clear how ill he was. Dates don't quite match his explanation but also if it was so fine why did she give the impression they were in London.

Spot on - the press think they are above the law - there is plenty of video evidence of them - get them heavily fined .

No chance. Have you seen who the useless Democrats have nominated? 

Compared to Trump? Levein could beat him. Those three links show that erse Biden in front, Trunps approval ratings is one of the lowest that’s ever been. He’s on his way out as their death rises, they’re No 1.

None of that will concern the American public. The polls had him as no chance becoming President. He’ll destroy Joe.

 I'm not sticking up for the government but Australia and NZ are at the arse end of the planet and a lot easier to shut down than the UK which has one of the busiest international hub airports in the world and the biggest in Europe.

But they never shut down any airports or tested any passengers. Eventually other countries banned flights to and from the UK and the airlines decided to park up the planes as the people had decided not to fly...This was not government, not leadership...it was dithering, laissez-faire inaction and it ultimately cost thousands of lives along with all the other mistakes and omissions and dilly-dallying...

Did you read the link? He’s one of the lowest ever, that’s why I put it up. Obamas average was 47.9, Trumps is 40.

Good. Shame on Cummings a 13 year old boy named Ismail died without his family by his bedside and they didn't even attend his funeral because, they abided by the rules. Meanwhile, that ****wit Cummings drove from London to Durham with the gov aware.
 
 
absolutely spot on

A mate of mine lost his wife last few days. Weren’t allowed into see her were only allowed to look at her through a window as the cancer slowly killed her. He demanded her home near the end and they got one day before she passed. 
Cummings is utter scum and the scum defending him are worse.
