The Dominic Cummings file

I'll expand. Campbell was and is a bullying arsehole and he certainly had a fair bit of influence over Tony Blair, but ultimately he was there to serve Blair. Cummings is in a far more influential position than that, to the point where he seems to exert a great deal of influence over government strategy. His methods are also a lot dodgier than Campbell even at his worst. Ultimately Campbell was a media enforcer; Cummings is more than that.

I wonder what a real pandemic would look like? I mean, if this one is a huge hoax, how would a real one differ from this one? And how do they explain the bodies in the streets in Guayaquil? Did they get killed by the authorities to support the hoax? If so, why in such an out of the way spot...

I looked at that and I couldn't make any definitive findings. There is an Alice Cummings in the Durham area but it seems almost certain to be a different one to the one who is a director of innumerable private sector medical companies (different initials for example). I've not seen anything posted anywhere apart from THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME SURNAME!!! breathlessness to indicate the health service carpetbagger is the sister (or indeed a relative) of the man nappy-wearing wolfbagger.

On the subject of enforcement three people have just been fined here in Scotland, for travelling 50 miles to go up a hill, and having to call mountain rescue because they got lost.
How much were they fined out of interest?

Also, the problem with this line is that it means this great humanitarian with 'fatherly instincts' dragged his sick wife and potentially infected child on a roadtrip in a confined space, on government business/making money for his sister. The great brain has just about filled all his exit routes with rubble.

Article doesn't say, just that they were met by police as they were escorted off the hill by mountain rescue.

Glad to see that Campbells minor but completely transparent misdemeanor of doctoring a dossier that led to the Iraq war being put in a correct post Cummings historical perspective

Thanks. Might listen in just in case of a zinger.
I want to see him try a 3-word slogan.

Neither will I but I hope the quality of reporting on here is better than yesterday. Please make clear who's saying what, people, particularly during any questions. Some basic standards at least

It's spelled "found".
No-one said it was either minor or transparent, did they?
OTOH it remains a fact that Cummings seems to wield a hell of a lot more power than Campbell ever did. And Campbell wielded his power at the behest of Blair; with Cummings and Johnson it looks at times to be the other way around.

I can't speak about very recent standards, but generally speaking I find this place beats the shit out of the Beeb and anyone else for coverage of this kind of thing.

AC got the DG of the BBC fired whilst trying to stoke a false prospectus for a war. When has Cummings done anything on that level?

Apparently it'll be done from the Rose Garden at no. 10.
Still no word as to when, though
How appropriate.
But when did Campbell seem to be in charge of the government's entire political strategy, as Cummings evidently was last year?
Look, I'm not trying to minimise the damage Campbell did for one moment. I just think that airily saying 'oh well, Campbell was just as bad' lets Cummings off the hook far too easily.

There's no future in England's dreaming
Cummings will be speaking from the garden in Downing Street, just like any PM should.
Unfortunately PIRA have disbanded and there will be no mortar display.
