Or alternatively, he is a liar who thought he wouldn't get caught, did and now will say anything to save his skin, other than "I'm sorry" or "I resign"!
Apparently one of the new symptoms easily checked by a visit to an English Heritage property.
Next week's new symptom will be compulsive lying! Not so easily checked if a lot of your friends have also had symptoms too...
In a bizarre way this is exactly what Cummings and Johnson wanted, people to ignore the advice and create herd immunity.
Unfortunately they won't know be able to blame the stupid public for not following government advice if the death rate goes up, as their supremo can't even do that... Oh...
It's his next stop off point for tours of castles of the North and North East. He's got a walking tours book coming out in the summer, just in time for Phase 3...
Now I'm normally a measured reasonable man, who listens to what someone has to say and gives a measured response, however on this occasion all my brain is shouting at me is...
Oh **** off...!
That’s because it’s all bollocks and an attempt to cover up.
If there is even a shred of truth in their explanation, then Cummings clearly isn’t as smart as he would have others believe he is...
If that is true, all the more reason for fronting this out at the very start, not leaving it until weeks later, allowing the story to ferment and fester.
Still doesn’t explain why the sister, who was Plan A for childcare, couldn’t have come and got said child, nor who looked after the child...
As a father I have always told my kids, if you do something wrong, or are found to have done something wrong, own up, don’t deny or lie to cover your tracks, face up to it and the consequences.
Clearly neither Johnson’s or Cummings fathers had the same parenting skills as me! :D
Think this may still run for a while, but think I will just leave this here before I pop off to bed.
Sleep well Mr Cummings, wherever you are...

So basically we are going full speed ahead to Phase 2, that should shut people up. Shops will open, schools will open - Dominic who? All forgotten... Nice one Boris!
Johnson seemed to have a smug half smile on his face for most of that press conference. The look of someone who appears to have got an in-joke that no-one else has!!!
Smug tosser...
No, I'm not waiting on Boris resigning - there are far more powerful men around the Conservative party than Cummings, who I am sure will move when the time is right - and Boris will toddle off, with his sick note in hand.
