Not good enough

Sophistry is one of Dominic Cumming's issues. 

The NHS website returns 147 answers in response to the query "small children"; none of them refer to Covid-19. Yet Dominic kept repeating it. 

He said he never left the cottage at North Lodge Farm when isolated or infectious, yet drove 5 miles each way whilst ill to pick up his wife and son after the boy was taken into hospital overnight. This at a time when, presumably, his eyesight was weird. 

He said he'd had a couple of phone conversations with the Prime Minister while at North Lodge, but couldn't really remember them. Perhaps he also sent some texts - we'll never know, because they use an application outside normal Goverment channels. 

He can't remember buying petrol. He'd driven 260 miles up to North Lodge Farm; 10 miles to and from the hospital; 50 miles to and from Barnard Castle, and then 260 miles back to London. 580 miles.

He said one of his jobs was "getting investment for the NHS". I hadn't realised we were selling shares. 

He said he'd taken expert medical advice before returning to London. Was that by dialling 111 like the rest of us ? If we'd known Covid-19 could be diagnosed over the phone like that,we could have saved a bit of money on tests, surely......
