True...but who cares really, I mean he broke the rules that's done now he can't change that, by the sounds of it he didn't infect any one else so no real harm done just his pride and his opinion and word won't really have the impact it used too and his future work will be impacted he has to deal with that but people just going on and on about it won't really change any thing he made a mistake that's it. | |||

Loads of people are breaking the rules, even in little ways.
I think if it was a woman receiving threats of violence from trolls and media, and she wanted to take her young kid somewhere safe in case she got seriously ill from covid and couldn't protect him/her, the reaction may have been different. | |||

"Every one is pretty hard on Cummings but most people have broke the lockdown. But only one person wrote the rules ..... !" Police investigated the whole sorry affair. Only the crazy eye test trip was outside the rules. Yes he was involved in writing the rules so makes his actions hypocritical but that's not an offence in law. Everyone should be treated equally regardless of their job. I thought he would have resigned to avoid all this and returned at a later date | |||

"Every one is pretty hard on Cummings but most people have broke the lockdown." While theres an element of truth in this, breaking the lockdown is much like speeding there are varying degrees of which some will see people get sympathy and others contempt. Where do you think Cummings sits on that scale? | |||

" Let me just clarify your position: 1. You have no problem when the architect of national guidance for lockdown decides to ignore and contravene the guidance? 2. You appear unconcerned of whether two unnecessary journeys may (or may not) have infected unconnected individuals? 3. You suggest his future employment opportunities and his general credibility will be dented sufficient punitively, when in reality his current boss the pm has backed his actions to the hilt? 4. His actions can be dismissed as a mistake? Heavens talk about rolling over and surrendering your belly to every hard-pressed person who has tried to accept the reality of lockdown and do the right thing ..... | |||

"We don't know what he actually did, only what he has told us, which may differ. Neither do we know if anyone got infected as a result of his behaviour. We were instructed, following this guys attendance at the expert's meetings, to stay at home, including especially over Easter when thousands wanted to travel but this man did not. He had no emergency when he travelled, he was well.

Single parents stayed at home. People with family dieing stayed at home. He decided to get out of London, apparently more than once. He is on our payroll and a public servant. I'm certain that people have changed their behaviour in my area since this came out 1 week ago. It's disgraceful that he has not had the decency to go but that is presumably why he also did whatever he fancied.

As he basically admitted he had done this it seemed an easy collar. Would still be a fine and possibly points on his licence. Again he should be treated the same as if you or I had done it. | |||

"That's true, he isn't a civil servant and for one I'm getting a bit bored of it all now, yesterday's news, he broke the rules, so what, I break rules all the time, don't really care if he broke them or not. Take care everyone, especially since lockdown is being lifted. "Some one who is an adviser to the prime minister is a temporary civil servant.

" We were just addressing why the Press reported so much more about Cummings, but less so about those backbench MPs Probably because people are more incensed "Probably because people are more incensed You are right, that's the most probable reason, and not because of political reasons as some people seem to suggest." Why are they more incensed,could it be that the press made it more of a story than it was? A second and even third visit was touted in the press for weeks to whip the public into a frenzy then when the truth comes out they are still outraged. Compare this to the labour guy who went to a funeral with 100 others kinnock going on a picnic in lockdown or even the deputy major of manchester having a birthday party in her garden, in the news for a day two at the most hardly any tv coverage. Ask yourself why the difference? | |||

" The OP is just asking why when an allegation is made and shown to be untrue why is that not given the same weight as the original allegations. Would you like to be dragged through something like this and its untrue? " Maybe because the focus of the coverage is based on Cummings own admissions, stories made up about him are less interesting, especially as the likelihood is he's created a backstory to justify the activity (a two week sojourn to the country and spurious trip to Barnard Castle). Let's face it he wasn't travelling to Durham to wash the feet of the sick and dying. | |||

I would have been incensed if he'd walked to his local park and sat on a bench, because he and his colleagues had created rules which I and millions of others have managed to stick too. The public's rightly outraged and his behaviour has undermined the measures, thereby putting us all at increased risk. | |||

"That's true, he isn't a civil servant and for one I'm getting a bit bored of it all now, yesterday's news, he broke the rules, so what, I break rules all the time, don't really care if he broke them or not. Take care everyone, especially since lockdown is being lifted.
Some one who is an adviser to the prime minister is a temporary civil servant.
They are appointed under articles of the civil service, and they are paid by central government.

Someone else will do something silly or hilarious in their stupidity in the next few weeks, they seem not to be able to help themselves. More to be pitied than scolded, as my nan used to say.

Both turned out to be untrue and a person admitted making it up. Papers claimed that the one trip to Durham was not within the rules. Police investigated and confirmed that the papers were wrong and it was within the rules. The outside the rules issue was the castle trip So at the end 4 claims made by the papers and only 1 was correct I agree he should have resigned but trial by media is just wrong in my opinion | |||

"But were the police aware that he is joint owner of the Durham farm and trips to a second home are prohibited ?" They investigated the whole thing and concluded his London to Durham trip was within the rules. The claimed 2nd and 3rd trips did not happen and we now know it was made up They do say the castle trip was outside the rules. This is the only claim to be upheld by the police. | |||

If you look at what I have said, once the further trip was denied the papers didn't mention it again. They did however mention what he did admit to. The person who claimed he was lying to the original paper over the second trip sold his "story" to a different newspaper. The original paper itself has denied he was the person who told them it. People can say all they like that the man didn't break the rules but no amount of saying that will convince a lot of people. Lets break it down Goes home to wife who says she thinks she has covid. Goes back to work. Goes home again, drives to Durham for childcare in case he gets sick too. Stays at a second home ( he is part owner ) Gets sick the next day, wife says in her article he is lying in bed very ill for 10 days. Wife takes child to hospital, she was meant to have covid so should be going to hospital unless to be admitted, but if she hasn't got then as he has and is in bed ill with it, she should be isolating. Maybe they could have used the childcare that they went there for at this point. Next day he gets up from his sick bed where his wife said he stayed in for 10 days to pick up his wife and child from the Hospital Obviously then the whole eye test bit and the woods on the way home. A hell of a lot of rule breaking in there that people seem to be glossing over. Now the papers have never said who gave them the story that was true, but I am glad they did run the story....at least we get to know how the Government handled all this. We now know for sure that there are a lot of people who have no principles and integrity and think they can shut people up. We are not in Russia Now my fingers ache after all that so I am off to bed | |||

"Every one is pretty hard on Cummings but most people have broke the lockdown. But only one person wrote the rules ..... ! True...but who cares really, I mean he broke the rules that's done now he can't change that, by the sounds of it he didn't infect any one else so no real harm done just his pride and his opinion and word won't really have the impact it used too and his future work will be impacted he has to deal with that but people just going on and on about it won't really change any thing he made a mistake that's it. " He broke the rules!! But gets away with it my son broke a rule and got sacked but higher authority were doing it and got away with it ... this is how things get out of control it can't be one rule for one and one rule for someone in authority | |||

"Four Labour MP's & one SNP MP, so far, have been 'outed' for breaking the rules but the press haven't gone after them. I wonder why, could it be that thing where Labour, SNP the left 'in general = very, very good, Tory's, the right & Anyone who doesn't cowtow to the liberal agenda = very, very bad? Round South Yorkshire we've seen groups of people from all demographics breaking so called lockdown rules from the beginning, so has anyone really taken it seriously? We think not. DC = MSM witch hunt, not constructive or balanced journalism, otherwise they'd have balanced it out with an investigation into say, Stephen Kinnock and his drive to Lord Kinnock's birthday party. " Press didn't need to go after them, they did the decent thing and apologized. Cummins didn't apologize, he just laughed at you. | |||

There are alot of issues that should be raised. -Why no ppe for schools? -Why are some UK firms not being able to sell there ppe to the government (if there is a shortage), -when will antibody tests be available to the public- (so we can go back to work), -what about millionaires furloughing staff and expecting the tax payers to fit the bill?, - - Why didn't WHO do more back in December. Surely pressing on important issues to get the country running are more important? | |||

"Let me start by agreeing he should have resigned and have said this on several occasions. I understand that the paper may not have repeated the allegations once they knew them to be false but why did they print them in the first place as at best it waS here say. They did not to my knowledge apologise or even acknowledge that they printed false information. Your correct that D.C. admitted the remaining events and said he believe them to be within the rules. The police agree with D.C. on this so what he admitted to was within the rules. That's not me making the judgement its the police. They did point out that the castle trip was outside the rules so out of the 4 allegations only 1 was outside the rules. Like many I thought the police could have charged him with a greater offence for the castle trip. Sorry but I still think trial by media is bad and that the law and punishment should be equal for all | |||
