Dominic Cummings accused of perverting course of justice after Barnard Castle trip

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1454947.html

Nazir Afzal, OBE, the former Chief Crown Prosecutor for Northwest England, has sent authorities, including the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Police a dossier, conatining new witness statements and other material, accusing the prime minister’s chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, of breaking coronavirus laws and perverting the course of justice.

In a statement, Mr Afzal’s lawyers said there was evidence of six offences under the Health Protection Regulations for Mr Cummings and three for Ms Wakefield.

At a press conference on 25th May, the so-called "SPAD" (special adviser) said he had travelled to Barnard Castle to see if he could drive safely because he was experiencing problems with his eyesight. Mr Afzal’s lawyers alleged that some of his assertions were inconsistent with accounts obtained from witnesses, and called for police to check CCTV, location data and traffic cameras.
I have no doubt that, as with Priti Patel and Dido Harding, Boris Johnson will exert political pressure on the "authorities" to block any attempt to castigate his cronies in the Cosy Coterie .....

It's yesterday's news. We all know he was protected because of his position. No need for further investigations. One rule for some another for the rest of us.

He's not an MP or even a member of the Conservative Party

He did nothing wrong.

The sheer desperation of some people to decry Brexit has been more than a little silly for a long time now.

As for " One rule for some another for the rest of us. " - yeah right!
Utter cobblers.
That's why we've seen packed beaches (before any of this shizzle too please note) ; parties & raves galore; and people desperately flocking for a last-minute booze-up before restrictions is it?

If you want to see real law-breaking just take a look here:

I would say driving during lockdown when sick and to test your eyesight is pretty much in the wrong camp... but I guess he is a pet of a number of posters here so I will say no more.

There is so much negativity on here at the moment, people should be more supportive of others during this difficult time.

Margaret Ferriers actions seem far worse than Cummings's but she seems determined to tuff it out.
