The Official Dominic Supporters Thread

I agree this is a pointless distraction from more important issues. Would have been better if he'd just apologised, but the distraction job was created by the lefty newspapers that dredged this up in the first place and made such an issue of it.

He can’t apologise - his insurance policy prohibits it

HTH

I'm of the opinion the Daily Mail comments are mostly being doctored regarding this. Happening a lot since the new editor took over and they politically changed direction.

I did notice the DM was more anti government recently. You've explained it.

Does anyone remember when the Telegraph made such a fuss about Prof. Ferguson and he honourably and quietly resigned?

Dominic is a winner, get over it - losers.

Funnily enough ToryGraph was foaming at the mouth against him - 80/20 at best giving minir support to poor Dom.

I think you may be being a bit sarcastic, but the Daily Mail has definitely been less supportive of the government recently, mainly because it's editor is a remainer:

Yeh, not saying it's just lefties, everyone does it, but it isn't helpful.

Maybe there should be a referendum on it?

Far left Twitter showing they're just as good as far right Twitter at spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation right now, in particular this gem: apparently Cumming's sister was made the director of Idox Group on 14 April and they were responsible for the contact tracing app. Except:

* Absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the director in question, Alice Cummings, is a relation. Because Cummings is such a rare surname? A few people have suggested his sister might be called Francesca or Sarah and I've seen some unverified evidence that Alice Cummings is her married name anyway, but no evidence that she is any kind of relation whatsoever. It fails the Google test for me - it should be pretty easy to verify a fact by googling and finding some kind of primary or reliable secondary source, but googling for this just gives loads of unrelated results or links to people reposting the same conspiracy.

* Idox have won some government contracts including an online booking system for COVID-19 testing (and postal voting systems in the past) but they didn't develop the app, that was VMWare Pivotal. This is easy to verify.

For the record:

Fact check: Dominic Cummings does not have a sister working for the IT solutions company Idox - Reuters

The media holding the powerful to account is the sign of a functioning democracy. You wouldn't see newspapers publishing this kind of article in mainland China.
