Re: Dominic Cummings to make public statement this afternoon
After staunchly defending Dominic Cummings during today's daily briefing, Health Secretary Matt Hancock went on to say that people without Covid-19 symptoms who are told to isolate themselves by the government's contact tracers have a civic duty to do so. He used those actual words - a civic duty. Truly astonishing. This mob are shameless.

Looking at Twitter Andy Dawson (podcast comedian) and the Varadkar thing seem to be what the far right lunatics are all posting about. No idea how it really relates to this thread tbh.

Posting on twitter is the equivalent of taking a shit in your own hand and throwing it at someones window.

Are you saying one should not take any notice of anything on twitter? Or what?

I'm saying that it's like throwing shit at someones window. Exactly the same.

I don't understand the point. Is it pointless or not a good thing or what? I can't follow the analogy. I think you're saying that putting something on twitter is ineffective but I'm not sure.

I stopped using twitter because it's impossible to not to read the opinions of dick heads (a bit like on here).
But if you only follow people who interest you and avoid reading anyone else's tweets it's actually interesting. Like all social media it's good if you use it to suit you.

Aye, I don’t post and largely keep to reading those I follow and don’t encounter any problems with it.

My issue is it still shows people I purposely don’t follow on my timeline because people who I do follow them have liked one of their tweets.
I’ve stopped using it lately, it’s unbearable with this covid.

The best social media if you can use it right imo. I just couldn’t help myself and it’s depressing all the shite news from round the world you can end up reading.

It probably was some random bloke on day release from prison, hence the policeman making sure he didn't escape.

I know what you mean, they should have built-in confirmation bias filter!

Seems like it continued this evening too, I thought he’d gotten away with it last night, he probably still will in fairness.

It's dig or sack the Prime Minister, and Johnson doesn't have the balls to do that. If he sacks him now, he will probably have to fend off calls to go himself and certainly calls about Gove, the AG and Hancock.

He'll ride this out. He'll be gone by Christmas, but it won't be "over this" even though it will be precisely "over this".
