The Dominic Cummings file

[brogdale]

Recommends a dictator.

Okay....

 

[gosub]

He clearly feels that all the accounts of gross incompetence at the time were just not believable until he backs them up. Now that Honest Dom gives his version there'll be a groundswell of demonstrations against Johnson, and his days are immediately numbered

Too much of a scattergun but he's got it in for Hancock and Johnson chance it'll just be closing rank.

There must be some really pissed off people at University of Camridge

 

[steeplejack]

They'll close ranks. Resignation is now as historical as the typing pool and the tail gunner.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Quite an interesting weirdo to listen to, I think. Used "gerrymander" rather than "jury-rigged", though. Not as smart as he thinks he is. I guess it makes you feel smart working with this cabinet

 

[philosophical]

Watch on the Parliament Channel 232

I am half an hour behind and don’t want to miss anything.

He's an intellectual parvenu. Not much inherited intellectual wealth and lots of ideas nicked off other people, garnished with a load of public school front.

 

[krink]

more than ever I'm convinced we should shoot them all

 

[krink]

Didn't take long did it!

 

[SpookyFrank]

This Dom interview is a gold mine. And lol at the bbc apologising for him saying fucking.

I'd rather they apologised for creating Boris Johnson in the first place.

 

[Supine]

I'd rather they apologised for creating Boris Johnson in the first place.

Well Dom said the whole system of how leaders get into position is fucked. “Just look at it, what kind of system would result in an election between Johnson and Corbin. The system is broken!” I paraphrase but that’s what he thinks. Stab stab stab.

Save lives, fire Hancock is quite the stabby theme today too.

 

[Supine]

Hancock is full of stab wounds!

 

[steveo87]

Can you stab slime?

 

[elbows]

Its been rather surreal listening to him today and reading his tweets in recent days. Because lets face it, he is like a mutant right-wing version of me (or I am a mutant left-wing version of him), at least when it comes to all things pandemic and establishment/orthodox failure. Plus I am an outsider and he was an insider.

 

[elbows]

And my skin crawls when he talks about who count in his book as being brilliant, ethical people.

 

[killer b]

And my skin crawls

It's difficult to take any real pleasure in anything he says because of this.

 

[elbows]

I wouldnt trust him and his mates with my data, thats for sure. The sinister face of the database.

Ooh he just mentioned sewage testing, he is welcome to that data and may contribute to it

 

[Steel Icarus]

I'm just waiting, almost certainly stupidly, for some horrific revelation that might actually dent Johnson a bit.

 

[bimble]

if all these accusations of lying came from anybody else apart from the country's most renowned liar maybe they'd actually hurt his targets.

Its hard to predict what stuff can scupper people like Johnson. Serial 'winners' like him and Trump are described as bulletproof and people to whom mud wont stick, right up until the moment when that suddenly isnt true. Their special shield rarely lasts forever, but its hard to predict the exact conditions that will bring about its ultimate failure.

jeffrey archer, formerly britain's foremost liar, has been utterly eclipsed by johnson

if someone's bulletproof then use a different weapon

 

[killer b]

Yeah, it's difficult to put your finger on exactly why the last thing that seriously damaged the Johnson government - Cummings' own sojourn to Barnard Castle - hit home when numerous other outrages did nothing

 

[elbows]

lol he just said contract tracing instead of contact tracing.

 

[elbows]

He said it again.

 

[two sheds]

Sure he's not referring to 'follow the money'?

 

[elbows]

And now he has stabbed Hancock with a nuclear missile over false assurances that people would be tested before being sent back to care homes.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Wowsers.

 

[maomao]

He said it again.

I think he's actually quite nervous, he's been less articulate than you'd expect throughout.

 

[ska invita]

If you come within Bluetooth range of Matt Cummings you might end up with a PPE contact
