not your best analogy i fear Ross..When I was a kid I came running out of school one day with my best mate and I threw a stone in his direction, it missed him and smashed someone's greenhouse window.
Next day we were up before the Head.....did you two break a window ? Err..no..well..umm..err I squirmed just like Cummings is doing now. We got away with it... just as he will only it's a bit more than just a pane of glass.
long story short Cummings is going nowhere...the witch hunt will fade out in a couple of days
