ciabaudo Wake up, plandemic is fake...........................

I wonder if there will be another cardiology NTN advertised next year.

Commings Must be going the hell out.

Sometimes punitive measures have to be taken when our efforts are under mined. Salute to the Doctor sticking to morale principles as protect the nhs seems just a gimmick and the elite making fools of us!

One man’s actions might lead to second wave? But no mention of the risk from the thousands of protesters in London & elsewhere who did not observe social distancing? Or of the demented pack of journalists who ignored social distancing while hounding Cummings? The power of one man

So many supporters for a man who would not give a shit if you died tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yea and let's believe he's going to sign on at the job centre.. He's probably likely to now work in the private sector with a fake moral story to tell his friends and family.

I suspect he was about to be sacked.

Still won't embarrass DC to resign

If a doctor is more interested in political protest than helping people, that says more about him than it does about Dominic Cummings. The Guardian is scraping the bottom of the barrel with this story.

And good riddance ! This is a nothing story constantly kept alive by the media and for the record I’m not a Tory fan and the pic is really me !

deserving of no respect. Putting patients at risk to prove a political point is pathetic

He must have lost his shit over Barry Gardner

Probably because as long as cummimgs is in charge, people will break the so called weak ‘guidelines’. If he can break them, so can they. it causes a domino effect, which leaves the NHSuk at breaking point. COVIDー19 is not the only virus we have!

Change the record Guardian. No wonder press readership are at an all time low. Bring smg positive to the headlines.

Covidiot

Will doctor now go private?

Oh no he didn't

The friends of Nick Griffin in NHS NEPT management deprived me in return of 5 years seniority (in salary and pension) and made my job undoable that I had to retire early after 17 years' fight against their sabotage of the care that killed 22 psychiatric patients of that trust.

In 2004, while working as a consultant psychiatrist at North Essex Partnership Trust, Nick Griffin then the leader of BNP sent a message through one of a senior colleagues (his friend) that I will get £50.000 if I leave UK, I refused. It is Cummings and Griffin who should leave.

Goodbye, you won’t be missed ...

SueHotchkis Please read the whole article, it clearly states that if there's a second wave, he has said he'll stay on to help through that. His point and principles stand, he's right about this government, it stinks. I think it's a sad loss though. Suspect more will follow.

I think he’ll be really really upset by this

The already severely compromised NHS, now crumbling further due to the direct actions of those supposed to be guiding us through this. Imagine the gravity of the decision from this Doctor, walking away from his calling. Look , just look at what you've done. Shame on you Blues.

The number of bots in this thread... If there's a headline with Cummings name in it, they swarm all over it.

The Hypocritic Oaf.

Shame! We can’t do without doctors but the Uk could certainly do without Dominic Cummings!

Worried about second wave, quits the NHS... great doctor... poor morals.

Yea, stupid doctor or fake news

This will help 🤔

Pathetic

This seems counterproductive to say the least.

So we lose a dedicated,hard working,caring doctor & possibly more to follow. But Cummings is protected. We are a completely divided Society.The over privileged,lazy, Johnson,ReesMogg& chums v the rest

This is a shame, I understand his cause, but there are people who need him, we need all the NHS drs we can get! The gov have let the people down, don’t do the same, it’s not their fault.

Pointless

So what does that achieve? Really?

Sorry but that doctor will be doing more damage than Dominic Cummings by walking away when we are still fighting covid-19

...”behaviour of PM’s adviser could help trigger second wave of Covid-19” Err, not really. It’s the idiots planning to ignore the laws and guidelines. To use DC as an excuse is woeful.

Great. One less nob masquerading as a doctor.

stupid doctor....

Have fun trying to feed yourself, doc

The moron resigns because he’s worried that Cummings may have assisted in a 2nd wave of CV, what the hell is ye going to do when he hears about the BLM demos...

You'd think the mass protests about an irrelevant issue in another country would concern him more than one man breaking quarantine.

peterjukes Powerful!

.......ok. sorry I thought this track and trace systems gotten off well in my opinion

CummingsIsKaput When pubs finally do open again juniordrblog shouldn't have to pay for a drink ever again. Thank you to all NHS staff working so hard, and those speaking out.

After yesterday’s protest I’d say that’s a moot action.

Travesty

sackDominicCummings

LizJarvisUK The Doctor of his word

What a fantastic result. Now let's see where he turns up next. Let's see a bit of volunteer work. Top job in the private sector.

Cretinous dr. Tokenism at its best.

He put his politics before his patients. Probably not suitable career for him anyway. 🤷‍♀️ good riddance.

Is jk_rowling going to pay his wages? ScumMedia

Any person can do mistake ,may be error in own judgement. The doctors also do mistakes. I think this doctor might got a job offer in private sector or in tax free middle East. May be in Saudi Arabia?

What a stupid and selfish act, I can't imagine how a doctor can be so juvenile, will he actually be a loss to the profession. probably not.

RESPECT...

What a sad state of affairs the self serving incompetent Boris Johnson is leading us into. The lack of integrity this government has shown over Dominic Cummings is disgraceful

I guess he saw the footage of the Guardian promoted 'protests' yesterday and didn't fancy dealing with the consequences in a couple of weeks time

The question we should all be asking is how did we come to this point. Not about his wrong or the govert is right etc

👋👋👋👉

BWallArthur SackDominicCummings Not an honourable person.

peterjukes the state of British society today. a man who saves lives has to resign rather than a man who has cost countless lives. truly warped.

peterjukes And, good evening, Peter. You are one of my trusted voices.

peterjukes Can one resign from geriatric genocide? IntlCrimCourt - where the hell are you?

Cummings had no right to resign as he didn’t break any lockdown rules and that Doctor is an idiot for using Dominic Cummings as an excuse

Any comments scullyp You supported Dominic Cummings to hilt You even went so far to pen an essay about it

For seasoned politicians, such as Cummings and Johnson, not to know how to de-escalate a PR nightmare is mind-boggling. 1 Offer to pay a fine. 2 Apologize profusely. Too late now. They underestimate the power of apology.

The doctor had every right to make their choice, especially given that the health service had worked tooth and nail to ensure that the safety of the public is a priority. Cummings' actions were a spit in the face to, not only the guidelines, but to those risking their lives.

Pimenta has done a fair amount of retweeting Alistair Campbell & Piers Morgan - obviously likes dodgy dossiers & phone hacking - so good that he's no longer employed by the NHS

Pathetic! They should stay. It will make NO difference other than make the NHS weaker.

That one is a politician. How many are going to resign because of the ongoing protests?

piersmorgan best not mention another word about people breaking lockdown rules now. What an absolute hypocrite he has turned out to be.

DominicCummings

Waste of tax payers money. He was going to leave anyway and is looking for a scapegoat. Very unsavoury individual.

PatriciaVPorter A shame, it will have no effect whatsoever.

After yesterday's protests, if in 2 weeks there is not another spike, everything was a hoax.

Cummings has to go this is ridiculous

No one cares. Lock down is over now anyway - the streets are filled with rioters & looters & all your favourite politicians, & your rag is cheering them on. Your panel of 'experts' says: 'avoid shaking hands', so there you go.

He’s taking a career break a. Or isn’t to this article. He’ll be back. Cummins is a cnut and he should go but this really wasn’t necessary.

Like he wasn’t planning to quit anyway! 🤣

So he really spat his dummy out.

Just like the Guardian - there's political bias to Pimenta's 'move'. Nothing more than a feeble attempt to gain from publicity

sijj786 Excellent!!! Blackmail is not a nice thing. Good luck and thank you for your service 👍🏻

I understand the persons anger and frustration with who’s running the government and those in power. But don’t think its the most moral decision and the one which wont have a powerful impact.

How does that help the NHS? Cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Good. Bye bye

Cummings will just sneer

Byeeeee!

Anyone who knows how many years of arduous training and how many exams this doctor had to endure to get where he is, will realise that this decision was not taken lightly.

Here we go again

piersmorgan you posted about this guy. Someone who knows that life isn't about doing the selfish or popular thing, it's about doing the right thing. I salute you juniordrblog 🙌🏽

Who cares.

And still you rattle on about Cummings but nothing on any of the labour remainers who broke lockdown. Utter bollocks

danielfyork A doctor quits to score political points during a pandemic putting further pressure on a stressed system whilst simultaneously abandoning his patients is what the headline should say. Good riddance!

Iván Redondo y Dominic Cummings son compañeros de trabajo.

Pretty safe to say he's off to the private health care sector.

Doctor shouldn't resign because of Cummings affair. Not the best reasons at a crucial time.

Considering the demonstrations because of the dead junkie robber I find any talk of Cummings ludicrous.

Yippee! Good riddance, any doctor who values his ego over patient care is a m oron

That's a shame! NHS needs Doctors more than the country needs Cummings in the govt.

Sure, trained professionals may be resigning, but at least we still have Dominic Cummings to advise the government on laws and guidelines he won't follow. Unironically a very British 'hero'...

GREAT, bet he wishes he never tweeted that 💩 Now, if ONLY all those luvees who promised to leave the UK if we voted Brexit would ACTUALLY LEAVE YouKnowWhoYouAre Heaven

Sadly I don't think this changes anything and will be counterproductive as the NHS needs dedicated staff.

Good bye bye

24th of May?

Cummings should be keelhauled

Politics above his passion to attend for those in need, well for a good salery anyway.
