For anyone who used to roll in from the pub on a weekend circa the turn of the millennium, stick the telly on and be amused by irreverent late night video review show VIDS, my lockdown project of getting (almost) all the old episodes off source disk and online is now complete. Its a shame they had to be nudity-censored and content-edited to keep inside the YouTube guidelines, but better than nothing.

This is fantastic, thank you!

One day Laura Kuenssberg is going to leave the BBC, take up a job as a tory press officer and every blue tick telling her off right now will be lining up to congratulate her. There is no comeuppance. She's untouchable and knows it and doesn't even care to pretend she doesn't.

Call me thick, I'm finding it hard to translate that tweet!

“I find it very difficult to see how No 10 or Dominic Cummings could conceivably say that he hasn’t acted within the rules, certainly that he has acted within the spirit of the rules.”

Are No 10 / DC saying he hasn't acted with the rules - but has acted within the spirit of the rules?

That's the most sense I can make of it.

According to some sources ('the internet') - seeing this rebel leader with a Hello Kitty notebook was sufficient to convince Obama & Cameron that the Syrian Rebels (guilty of some major atrocities) were 'our type of rebels' :jihad: and donate £££ and :blastu: unlike the other guys' rebels :jihad:

Remember Cameron said there were 70000 :jihad: waiting to support us to do a regime change democracy against Assad if we bombed the crap out of Syria? That was them Hisb El Kitty.

it absolutely isn't, he blatantly broke both the letter and the spirit of the rules

also it just defies common sense to drive for 5 hours (without stopping even once, obviously) when you're so ill with potential coronavirus that you aren't physically able to look after your four year old, so you can deliver that four year old to your parents who are particularly at risk of getting seriously ill from your possible coronavirus

But other people were banned /turned back by police from going to second homes even though it would have been the same in theory?

Right now, there are police checkpoints on the Wye Valley this weekend turning back anyone who thinks they're going to sneak into Wales that way (which given the border snakes in and out of various villages along the way there - you can live in England but your doc & nearest shop is in Wales, or vice versa is a bit trying).

Why couldn't the parents just, uhh, pick him up at their place if that's the only way.

Or if they have any extended family then have take care of the kids instead of exposing elderly parents to covid.

The parents wouldn't have been able to flash a piece of paper that says "I'm Dominic Cummings I can have you fired" to any police that might have stopped them on the road.

Why would it do that!?
It's funny, this last week loads of people have been joking "okay I can't see my parents, but if I put my house up for sale and invite them around for a 'viewing' THEN it's okay", when in fact according to the govt's spokeswoman all you had to do to be able to visit your family is simply to contract the virus! And while most sensible people were thinking having a highly contagious virus meant you should be quarantined, it actually means you can go wherever you want (as long as you're a Tory, obv).

DC won't even get kicked off of SAGE for this.

Here's your problem, too many toasters.

e: ... I feel like I'm missing several things here. Double beds are not exactly cheap, so it seems like six of them is not something I would append "only" to. Toasters are cheaper but 24 is a considerable number of them by any metric. Also, where is the start point for these journeys to Scunthorpe and Torquay?

It only damages the reputation with people who already hate her, it makes no difference generally. People have been breathless crying about how shameless she is in this thread for years, this thread is significantly more extreme than the general population.

I would confidently predict that most people would say the coverage on Today this morning was very negative for Dom Cummies, but this thread would interpret as giving him a soapy hand job.

Cummings had the right idea tbh trying to kill his parents, he was just way too late. Ideally his parents would have died before he was conceived
