No problem with it myself, rather hope they succeed :D.

Can we help fund this effort?

Entitled cunt should be hung, drawn and quartered whether found guilty or not. Just because he's Boris's puppet master if nothing else

Lockdown has been pretty boring, be great fun if they get him.

This is so shite. How many frivolous private prosecutions are going through at the moment? Must be 5 or 6 - 20 or 30 if you count the remoaning cvnts.

Is this the way we really want our politics to go with every government or opposition decision being questioned in, and then thrown out of, court?

Government decisions or breaking the very rules that DC brought in?
No remoaning on my part, quite interested to see how the good ship Brexit goes, but he and the government deserve this.

I don’t think you have to spell cunts with a v here in the new world.

The good news about frivolous cases being brought is the government are doing such a good job with the courts there's no backlog, clearly taking a hatchet to legal aid is yet again paying off for Team Tory

But Cummings is not a politician. He doesn't make decisions.

This prosecution will probably be for dangerous driving or some such bollocks.

That doesn't speak to why the cabinet meekly walked out one by one to undermine whatever credibility they might have left after getting their orders from Dominic. Maybe they all thought it was the right thing to do, but people don't like looking like idiots so one assumes they were acting under duress

Well the key is in the job title. If you really think he is calling the shots, you're more of a remoaner than ever

I think it's more about the law student and her ego than it is about Cummings.

Yup. And the dread word ‘crowdfunding’ is of course in every report of this.

Mind, the woman behind it looks quite fit, unlike the twat Mr Ball who tried to prosecute Boris Johnson, lost his magistrates court ‘victory’ on appeal in the High Court and got hit for ruinous costs.
