The Dominic Cummings file

Gather that the oracle is dispensing more pearls of wisdom today.

I saw this bit via the Guardian and didnt bother exploring the rest:

He said there should be a “revolving door” between the civil service and the private sector. He said all civil service jobs should be open to outsiders. When a reader said this could create the risk of a revolving door between the civil service and business, Cummings replied: “That’s not a risk, that’s the goal!”

Wouldn't there also be a risk that, after you sack them, they try to embarrass you by slagging you off and quoting things you said to them in confidence?
 
Maybe directly linking to his blog is a bad thing to do but I see he’s gone into bat to try to stop Trump getting back into the Whitehouse .

Maybe he’s not all bad then? :D But you’ve got to wonder at the hubris of the man, apparently seeing it as his place to influence the selection of future presidents of the US. His confidence in his own competence clearly considerably exceeds his self effacement. I wonder how his parents brought him up, as he was clearly never told “no” and grew up to expect the world to bend to his will. Complete opposite of most people, and somehow grimly fascinating as a result.

I bet he has a fair few million quid in the bank, but whenever he has a new idea for a pet project it seems it is for others to fund it, while he rings the begging bowl soliciting donations via PayPal or whatever.

I wonder how the Cummings story will end in the future. I doubt he’s the type to fade into obscurity. He clearly sees politics as a game in which he’s chasing the highest score. Will he win big at some point, or lose a life? He‘s just the type who might be seen as dangerous by people with real power and could easily have an unfortunate accident.

I find it rather sad tbh (in the pathetic rather than feeling sorry way)
He is clearly having trouble adjusting to the realisation that he is now a nobody and no-one cares what he thinks.
His blog posts carry little more weight than some of the rants that have been posted on this forum
 


@Dominic2306: Total bullshit from a bullshit org that nobody shd take seriously. Take EVERY penny of taxpayers £ from them, remove them from EVERY gvt program, let them raise their own £ from trans men pretending to be women in MMA competitions. Sign of idiocracy orgs like this even exist https://t.co/XrKNOl5DpL

What a lovely man.

Give it 5 years and he'll be ranting at Speaker's Corner with his packed lunch in a satchel.
