So why don't you hilts and the others that said I was wrong in my understanding of the article actually go and read it?

[QUOTE=Heisenberg;5079235]"After the uncertainty of the bug itself, we emerged from quarantine into the almost comical uncertainty of London lockdown. Everything and its opposite seems true. People are frightened and they’re calm; it’s spring and it’s not. Standing in line’s a pain in the ass and the most fun you’ll have all day."
It's the 10th paragraph of the article.
You didn't just mention Durham, xsnaggle... I said that they live in London in my post and you responded that they "also have a house in Durham." That's a pretty firm statement to make and it turned out to be false, so why say it and then pretend that you didn't?
In regards to: "I never made any presumption and I never mentioned anyone travelling anywhere whether alone or with anyone else. If I did please show me where? "
You really think that you never made a presumption or mention travelling?
How about this?:
"Correct me if I'm wrong but the way the article read to me as that Mrs Cummings and son were already in Durham and he drove there to be with them. She says, 'would have to come home' like my Mrs used to say 'when are you coming home' when I worked away.
He drove to Durham to care for her I understood, which most men would tend to do for their wife.
Whether that was right or wrong is another matter."
There's at least two presumptions and a mention of who was travelling where in that post alone. You presumed that his wife was already in Durham. You presumed that Cummings drove there to care for her.
The reason that article was brought up in the first place was because it was already out in the public knowledge (if you had bothered to read any of the other articles/news stories) that they had actually driven up there together and the reason that people were "berating you" is because you were pointlessly trying to work out what Mrs Cummings meant in her article when the news had already confirmed that your presumptions were wrong.
I'm sorry if you didn't recognise why the discussions with you in this thread have gone this way... But trying to make out that you didn't say the things that you've said isn't going to help the discussion, is it?[/QUOTE
I never made any assertion about them travelling together or alone. I read one article where she said he would come home. i related that to what my wife used to say. I didn't read other articles and never referred to other articles, only to the one in the post I responded to. Everyone started on about information they assumed I should know but I was only referring to that article, and it is all I have referred to. There could be a million articles out there, i haven't read any of them and am not interested in them.
I had no knowledge of them driving together and wasn't really interested, As I said, whatever the circumstances it was dumb. My problem is that a lot of people are trying to use it to "Accuse" me of defending him, although I didn't. And why defending someone should be action to cause an 'accusation' is beyond me. Could it be political? But ! don't want to go there either.
If I "had bothered" are you suggesting that I should read what I'm told to read.
My post was about 1 post, nothing more. All the rest has been about everything else. Its just indignation for the sake of it. Its bollox.

Re: Don't do as I do, do as I say.
This quote springs to mind when seeing how some ministers are defending him: "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"

Why did I bother replying. You asked me to point out the things that you have argued that you haven't said and when presented with them in black and white you still deny it.
I give up.

What am I supposed to be denying? I don't mean from now but from the original post? What did I say as a fact that I have to deny? and please don't move the goalposts.

Media frenzy desperate for a scalp, I still think he's an arrogant toss , he knows how to get to people, remainers hate him , this board have kicked off big time , they must be salivating.

It will be interesting I guess whether his ability to traverse the M1/A1 was capable of repetition

He’s travelled up and down the country with a deadly infection just to wind Remain voters up.
Cheers for clearing that up :thumbup:

I don't even follow the time line. Was it before or after he was "sick" or in between?

This is the last time I'll respond as it has become a complete farce.
You said in a post further up that you never made any presumptions (not "assertions" - talk about moving goalposts, eh?) about the story and never mentioned who may have travelled alone etc.
As well as the post where you said that you have interpreted the article as the wife and child already being in Durham and Cummings driving up to meet them... In another post you responded by saying:
"When I read that he rushed home I assumed she meant Durham, the have a home there but i still cannot find a reference to London"
That's another assumption and a statement of fact to follow it. You literally said "I assumed" in the text.
Are you still going to deny that you made a lot of assumptions and stated some facts based on that article, even though it's there in black and white?
I assume that you will reply with another convoluted response, but have at it.

Re: Don't do as I do, do as I say.
Cummings done like a kipper or should I say done like a Ukipper

No I don't deny I made assumptions but I want to know what all the posts were accusing me of. I never claimed to know everything i only said what the article made me think? So what exactly am I being accused of? What must I deny? I don't mean in my exchanges with you I mean when this baby shit storm started originally? Can you tell me?

Re: Don't do as I do, do as I say.
I am starting to think this could actually be the end of Cummings. I wonder if he'll go quietly if it is the end.

Re: Don't do as I do, do as I say.
Apparently Dominic Cummings travelled further in lock-down to visit his parents than Crewe Alexandra have ever travelled for a competitive football match.
*attempts to bring this back to football.

That is the funniest idea I have seen so far. The main reason that he has a Tory force field around him is because of the chaos he has available if he is let loose!
He has no loyalty to the Tory Party. His ambition is to trash orthodoxy and replace it with his own vision of the New World Order. Obviously as long as the new world still has an extensive free holding in Durham if the revolution goes wrong and you have to retreat to the country pile!

I thought that, safer to have him in the tent pissing out than to have him outside the tent pissing in!

To the person who spotted Dominic Cummings in Durham and reported it to the police.
Well done for staying alert.

Cummings is complaining that under the guidelines at the time the person that identified him should have been staying at home though!:shrug:
