Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Does it really take a drive of some 25+ miles and 30 minutes for you to check if your eyesight was ok to drive. I'd have thought you'd know if it was ok within the first minute or so and or the first few road junctions and corners. Stopped at the side of the road for the kid to go to the toilet, ok, we've all had that one, but they then started to play in the wood and were seen by other people. Now I don't know about you folks, but if you, your wife and kid had all been ill and you had a several hour drive back home, would you not be wanting to get back home as soon as possible whilst your still feeling ok, I know I would. Calling BS on this, if they thought the Cummings presser would put this to bed, I get the feeling they have mis-judged this horrendously badly as I think the presser has made things worse.

I might just be a soft ***** but i am actually feeling sorry for cummings. He deserved the sack but this death by media he is suffering is just wrong and it is a sad reflection on society. Cummings arrogance isn't helping what so ever. Politics is a brutal game. He is accountable to his paymasters , which in effect are us so he is rightly to be grilled..No sympathy at all.

I think you may find that he is so arrogant the rules don't apply to him..in his mind.....oh and that of his family who have also been fast and loose with the truth The sheer stupidity of not even attempting to apologise followed by one of the worst excuses since he made the excuse about having to go to Durham.....telling us he drove 30 miles to check his eye sight possibly placing others in danger from 'poor eyesight'.

Spellczech Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I've just summarised Cummings justification for my wife who has just got in from work: Went like this: "He apparently has special family situation which means he had to drive to Durham while his wife was ill,...no, the second trip to Durham was apparently fake news, but he did have to do a 30 mile drive to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight was ok for driving back to London, but he took his family with him on this drive...and once he arrived at Barnard Castle he felt sick so had to stop get out the car and sit by a river for 15 minutes". At this point she burst out laughing. I simply cannot sell it like a Tory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
