They're all told to do that. I remember that car crash Theresa May conference speech when the lettering fell off and she could barely speak and afterwards on cue they all went on twitter to praise it (even though most of them wanted her out after 2017 election).

most people will be reading this forum on their phone. A large block of text is really difficult to read. I don’t have issues reading long article on my phone, because usually they are formatted properly.
I choose option b.
I also dont believe his claim that he didn't visit his parents or sister and that they communicated by shouting across the dinner. Absolute bollocks. Am sure his mother made fantastic hot dinners every night, and they all sat around the table enjoying the warmth of family camaraderie while other people couldn't even attend the funeral of their parent or child.
Honestly, do you want me to start photographing pages of books and posting them? 23 lines in a paragraph is clearly and demonstrably not unusual. (Edit: It's only 23 lines because of the screen that you're using too as an aside).
If I must justify my stylistic choice: I was deliberately writing Cummings fecking ridiculous position in a single paragraph to maximise the impact of how bloody silly it is. This was a deliberate decision to heighten the message I was making.
However, this is a totally fecking ridiculous digression which is one of the several distraction techniques you've deployed in this thread to distract from what you palpably know to be the truth:
Your boy fecked up big time.
Only used words of one syllable there too, just in case you decided to go for that angle.
The reasons why people feel this are not only very transparent but explained several times in this thread although sometimes perhaps using too many words or a paragraph structure you may have found unappealing.
Oh yeah I'm fuming about it all. It's difficult enough dealing with selfish know it all prats as it is and this just adds fuel to the fire.
“Man drives his family sick with contagious virus the length of the country, while entire country stays home”
That’s not a left wing point. It’s fact.
We all know that Cummings is a bit of a dick, but what vitriol levels will we have for another apparently immune-from-the-law politico.

You lay into other posters about not being articulate enough for you, but by your own admission, you find 23 lines of text really difficult to read... Er, okay then.
The primary issue is whether he was able to arrange alternative child care in London.
At the start of this episode, he clearly stated that he was not able to arrange child care and therefore the only option was to drive to Durham.
My point is that I cannot believe that a senior government official had no plans for emergency child care and his only option was to do that.
His wife's family members in close proximity were also an option but he didn't want to risk their health.
The niece was fair game though it seems.
I wonder how many libs are going to watch all of this and still assume there's any hope the political system works for them
The post you have written is much easier to read. Thanks, well done - I appreciate it.
Although, I think your last paragraph could do with some punctuation, so I can understand what you are trying to convey.
he’s not my boy.
I’d love you to go off and take pictures of long paragraphs and post them on here. It really would make my day.
He wanted to make sure he was safe to drive...so he packed up the car with his wife and kids. Yeah, put the kids in the car when you're worried you can't drive. It makes no sense.
He’s the kind of nasty cnut that wouldn’t want his family to survive him. Definitely a ‘If I can’t live you must all die’ kind of sociopath.
Asked if he stopped for petrol, he said probably but could not be sure.
Assuming he left London with a full tank, he drove to Durham, plus an ‘eye test‘ jolly at Barnard Castle. What fecking car can do 580 miles without refuelling?
He obviously stopped for fuel, so why the loss of memory?

Yep. Just like that fella from Germany...Oliver Kahn.
Yeah, doesnt look good. We have had our restrictions eased so I dont know law he's breaking
I disagree that they tried to create an excuse which would persuade people what he did is right. My prediction is that telling people that he drove when his eyesight was bad will fill the headlines tomorrow and for the next few days. They're probably hoping that the police pick it up to investigate to prolong the exposure and that people will be talking about that rather than the fact he went to Durham in the first place.
By the time all that has passed and he at worst gets a public telling off from the police people will have forgotten that the real issue was his breaking of lock-down and the press will have their bit of blood so will move onto the next thing. It's all very deliberate in my opinion.
Not sure what is worse. Traveling across the country infected while perfectly informed of what the consequences to others might be of that, or trying to use your 4 old son to weasel yourself out of trouble for it.
What a shitstain of a politician.

Yes, I adapted my style to help you out. Glad you appreciate it. Hope it warms your grizzled old heart.
You do realise that your grammar isn't particularly strong don't you? You're not launching your pedantic attacks from a position of strength.
He is your boy. I know baiting the Labour loving lefties in their echo chamber is your game but that means you've got to adopt these guys that you'll defend pretty much no matter what they do. He's your boy by default.
241 words in a paragraph is not in by any normal standards "massive" and the topic didn't change. I'm comfortable with that.
However, I'll continue to use short sentences to aid your comprehension. Just for you.

As I see it, it's debateable whether he did or didn't beak the law, like Cummings, but he certainly failed to follow his own advice.
Ha! Good one.
You’re boring.
You enjoy being governed by a ruling class
You voted for terrible humans
You’re probably a garbage person.
I can't help thinking about John Profumo, Steve. He resigned for lying to the House - but of course, went on to have a very honourable life and worked for charity as a volunteer for the rest of his days. Compared to this whining muppet, we've gone a million miles backwards as far as political integrity is concerned.
He definitely stated that he did not stop on the way to Durham.
Anyway. If he did stop for fuel on the way back, he should have used his card.
So that can be easily checked.
But that is a slideshow.
Was his London home a target. There must be evidence of this.
Why did a senior government official not have emergency child care support in a city the size of London.
Why did he have to drive 30 miles with his son to 'test his eyesight'.
Come on. He had weeks to come up with a better story than that.
What if they replied that their eyes were fecked and they just wanted to test if it was too hot?
If Cummings was part of the US government he'd be sacked, though. Or at the very least they'd have clarified they didn't think he was doing anything wrong at the time he did it.
Stupdity is one thing but stupidity with a complete lack of any integrity is quite something else. Trump comes out and tells the world he's a clown. Our lot dress as responsible adults and then only reveal they're clowns once people have followed their advice and thrown themselves off the cliff.
Not sure about that, you had guys like Cyril Smith who was a paedophile and serial rapist who did things like lying to parliament to cover up the dangers of asbestos at the world‘s biggest asbestos factory in Rochdale.
I‘d argue they were a lot worse then in many regards because they could get away with nefarious deeds more easily.
I'd section them.

Garbage person
let’s just remember the choice we had when we last voted, the alternative being a Corbyn led government.
Somewhat brush to call everyone who voted for the largest party a garbage person (whatever that may be!).
I think it weird that he could not be sure if he stopped for fuel, why lie about it?
And, typically, it was (apparently) the women who were immoral.
Seriously, little changes in Britain, and it's been like this for centuries.
Yes. Yes it is somewhat brush.Garbage person

Was this eyesight test drive thing a big old Trumpian style distraction?
Give everyone something so ridiculous to run with so we ignore the fundamental issues at the heart of his story? Now I’ve digested it a bit it just feels too constructed. They’ve had over 48 hours to get this story sorted and the excuse they come up with was “eyesight”.

Mine. But then again, I doubt he has a Mondeo estate (lay off me, it’s a company car).
There must be so many families where both parents had the disease at a similar time. How does he think they’ve all managed it.
one of the perils of posting from a phone.
Would love to have heard your opinion if Corbyn had won the election and his chief advisor conducted himself the exact same way as Cummings did. Food for thought? Your tribalism is very transparent.Garbage person

Johnson: "To the best of my knowledge, Mr Cummings has just subjected himself to your interrogation for quite a long time now"
'Interrogation'. They're the victims, folks. Who knew?
