I'm providing the latest update of the story, in a thread entitled "Mr. Dominic Cummings".Zambo wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 1:11 pmWhether he broke them or not isn't the issue.

Maybe all crimes should be ignored if certain people insist on being bored of hearing about them after five minutes.subsub wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 1:02 pm Cummings WAS in breach of lockdown rules, says Durham Police:

Drip feed of hemorrhaging support is always more damaging than a short, sharp, shock.
By the way..this "fiasco" is totally self inflicted so really Cummings is the only one who can make it go away, can't he? Neither the public or media asked him to break/bend lockdown rules. He did it because he's an entitled prick, now it's coming back to haunt him because he didn't think he'd get caught.
I've got no sympathy for his fears on "harassment by the media". If he was that concerned, you'd see private security everywhere he goes. You can't continue such a level of control freakery and not expect it to smack you back in the face at some stage.
For me a simple apology would have been the minimum requirement to shut this down. Instead, the lie, double down and cover up become worse than the deed itself. That's why some parts of the media will continue to fry him and rightly so. If a Labour SPAD had done this, you lot would still be foaming.
If you lot went AWOL without telling your boss, wouldn't you get sanctioned?
I have said on more than one occasions, that what I've heard about Cummings previously makes him a cunt, but it's not the issue is it. The PM has said that it's not worth taking personnel out to investigate this further, as there is a lot more important stuff to be tackling. People who want this to run and run has little to do with Cummings breaching social distancing regulations, they want to fuck Cummings and the Government, which you have already admitted. That isn't in the interest of the country, certainly at this current time. It won't work anyway, and as I said, this is alienating more people against those who are pushing it. Social Media is full of people who have enough of the witch hunt.

Yep, and I'm posting an opinion based on that. The police are saying that they aren't taking any further action as it was a minor offence. They have closed it and so should everyone else.subsub wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 1:13 pmI'm providing the latest update of the story, in a thread entitled "Mr. Dominic Cummings".Zambo wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 1:11 pmWhether he broke them or not isn't the issue.

The police decide if they think there is a case and the CPS do or do not confirm it. We know that.
In point of fact, by saying this and the telegraph publishing it, it would provide a contempt defence
Defence of what? They aren't going to court anyway.
- meaning that potential jurors or magistrates have been aquainted with a version of events not in evidence or subject to judicial scrutiny ,plus a statement of guilt as if it were fact. Thus they might consciously or otherwise have been prejudiced .
Whilst I'd advise him strongly against doing so, he'd have a pretty clear action for defamation against the newspaper.
For saying that Durham Police were going to make the statement they did??
