Cummings going in with the knockout blow?? on 08:14 - Jan 18 by chicoazul

There are a few who might moan and whinge on Twitter and TWTD about it but the bulk of the country, Karen and Mark on Facebook, just don’t care. They don’t care about lying to parliament, they don’t care about was it a party or was it work?, they don’t care about it was the day of Prince Phillips funeral. You have far too much faith in these people, you haven’t been paying attention since 2010. Nobody cared about austerity; nobody cares about this. The only thing that may actually bring down this useless government is inflation because that hits Karen and Mark where it hurts.


I think you're wrong Chico and let me explain why.

During lockdown 1, pretty much everybody made sacrifices, very personal to them. They chose not to celebrate a birthday, or to visit elderly relatives, or to limit their interaction with friends and family.

Every time they did this, most of us (except those who are blind rule followers) grappled with the question "Is it wrong if I just do xyz..." and 99% of time we accepted it was wrong and we opted to follow the rules.

But we did follow the rules and we remember missing out on many things, it is personal to everybody who lived through lockdown. We remember the dilemmas and we recall how difficult it was at times.

So to say "no one cares" - ordinarily you'd kind of have a point if you stated "many don't care" but that's not what you said. But this time is different, as what has happened is in complete conflict to what 99% of us experienced. And that p*sses people off, a lot.

Poll: This new lockdown poll - what you reckon?

Incorrect on both counts however I notice you are slipping away from the actual point which is you are wrong in your repeated statements that "nobody cares" - those were your words and they are demonstrably wrong.


Nobody really cares. It’ll all be forgotten about in a couple of weeks. TWTD and Twitter is not real life and the anger on here and there from a few dozen smooth brains is not enough to disprove my point. Nobody really cares.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Polling is used to influence public opinion not reflect it. I especially don’t think the “red wall” as you say really care about all this. They knew what and who they were voting for and did it anyway.


Chico, you thinking stuff does not make it so. We've been here before. I'll leave it there, you've made yourself look really silly again here.

Whilst I think people do care, we are all powerless... so like with all the other lies, as soon as nothing happens, the general public will stop caring.

But... there seems to be more anger about the partying lies than previous lies, so maybe this anger can carry momentum! I hope so...
So much anger shouldn't ever be forgotten!

Of dear, you don't sound too bright

Let me explain

Cummings' reputation after Barnard Castle was pretty much shot. What he is not going to do now is to post anything that suggests he is in any way less than honest.

Nothing he has posted so far in regard to this matter has been shown to be inaccurate, or false if you like. Why would he prejudice that for something that was not true, as all the rest he posted would then be viewed with doubt ? It is not like there is not enough damning evidence against Johnson, without anything else needed from Cummings.

It shouldn't take a great deal of working out


Crikey. Doubling down on Cummings being a beacon of honesty. Like his former boss, the only interest he’s interested in serving is his own.

"Doubling down " ?

Is that some kind of quilt ?

Nobody has claimed he is a beacon of honesty, just that it is very unlikely he is lying on this matter, why should he ?


He is prepared to make a statement on oath, as are others.

What is to be gained, if his claim is proven to be false ?

Nobody cares, except the 64% of the population who want him to resign in the latest YouGov poll today.

Interesting that you attacked the TWTD community and "smooth brains" when a representative poll such as the above shows that people from many different walks of life want him gone.

Perhaps it's you who is out of touch rather than those you attack on here. Certainly worth a ponder I would think.

Attacking TWTD and not attacking the government is also very telling.

Poll: If KM goes now, will you applaud him when he returns with his new club?

I don’t believe a word this guy says. Nor Johnson for that matter.


Well, it looks like folk did believe what Cummings said after all

and my thought that Johnson should save what little dignity he still has by resigning still holds

He will get slaughtered at todays PMQs

I must say i don't get the 'Cummings must be lying' angle either.

We all know what a horrible weasel he is, but that doesn't mean he is inventing stuff about the corrupt PM we have been lumbered with.

It's not as though anything he's said here sounds unfeasible.

Cummings is as self-serving as Johnson. His "evidence" is worthless without third party or other contemporaneous written (email etc) confirmation.

"Cummings is as self-serving as Johnson."

That doesn't need spelling out. We know this already a hundred times over.

But he is a witness the same as any other, maybe not as an individual in isolation, but as yet another name on a list of people happy to speak up.

Credibility as a witness is the point.

His personal testimony as a witness has no credibility.

He has to produce contemporary documents otherwise it's; "but Barnard Castle"

I believe he gave the name of someone else who also told Boris about the party and it being a bad idea who is being interviewed by the investigation. He is also being interviewed. Having two people might make a difference.

You are entirely right that he's a total t*sser and that nobody should forget that.

What would have to gain by inventing something. He could keep quoet and let others bring Jihnson down.

He risks losing what little credibility he has by lying.

At the moment no one other than the obvious has attempted to deny what he has said, and others have now come forward and are prepared (like him) to swear an oath what he said is true.

Remember, no witness entering the witness box goes in without having lied about something in the past - should that disqualify their evidence ?

More to the point, is Johnson a reliable witness, given that he is an habitual liar ?
