I'd rather get behind a party that didn't see lying and manipulation as a core value. But its a powerful tool and they seem to be using it a lot.

More important things to talk about Doing what he did was bad enough. Getting away with it would be even worse. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Norwegian news keeps going on about some doctor raging about Cummings and threatens to resign if he doesn't (or something along those lines). I came here to see the reaction to it, and maybe some thought around the hippocratic oath, but seems it's not touched on here lol. Or is it about 50 pages ago and I'm way to slow?

Davkaus Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) It's 4pm according to the torygraph. I really can't see how they're going to play it 1. Resign. Can't see it - he's sticking around for questions 2. Stick to his guns and explain he did nothing wrong. Why, after it backfired so horribly yesterday? 3. Apologise...Which would have worked yesterday, but I don't see how they can try this now without Boris looking like an even bigger fool, you can't come out and apologise less than 24 hours after the PM went on TV and said you did nothing wrong. Unless they try Patel's favourite trick "I'm sorry if people feel I broke the lockdown rules"... Edited May 25, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Either he's speaking personally, which means he shouldn't use Government property to do this, or he's speaking for the Government which means he's breaking the Spad code of conduct... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Wow, this is an incredible situation. I can’t see a scenario where this goes well for DC or BJ unless it was full apology and resignation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw the tweet from the doctor yesterday. Didn't pay too much attention to it, I didn't know who he was and it seemed like just one in a storm of angry tweets.
