Ahead of Dominic Cummings’s public statement this afternoon, a number of people on Twitter are flagging the government’s code of conduct for special advisers which states they must not take “public part in political controversy”. Point 14 states: "Special advisers must not take public part in political controversy, through any form of statement whether in speeches or letters to the press, or in books, social media, articles or leaflets. They must observe discretion and express comment with moderation, avoiding personal attacks, and would not normally speak in public for their minister or the department."

Gaz Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 He's going to say that his child has a health condition, my money's on autism or another ASD, which means he requires specialised childcare. That's why the local relative wouldn't have worked and he had to go somewhere where they knew how to give that childcare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 So the Daily Mail, CoE Bishops and former Police Chief Inspectors are calling for him to go. Let's hope he mugs them all off later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) If - and it's a big if - his child does have autism, then I do have a (very, very slight) degree of sympathy for him, given my own circumstances. That being said, there will be a large amount of parents of autistic children around the country who have gotten ill and soldiered on with no external childcare as that's what they believed they should be doing. My own kids haven't seen any of their friends / family for nine weeks. Granted my wife and I haven't been ill.

The DA Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 1 minute ago, Mark Connolly said: Except they can't make their minds up on whether or not they actually used childcare I don't understand the differentiation people are making between making sure childcare was available if needed and then actually using it. If the pair of them were down with CV-19, it would be a bit late to go looking for childcare then. Not defending Cummings - he's an entitled c**t and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government - but the 'did't use it after all' argument is unsound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
