Dominic Cummings

[Paul1970]

Is anyone actually surprised by his actions as we all know that his guy is a total loose cannon who does what he wants and with no regard to he public . Dominic Cummins is great at what he does but it’s all ok he crap that comes with him and Boris is that dependant on Cummins and will never want to sack him but public opinion will grow so large that he will have to sack by end of play Monday.

Useful distraction tbh. While the govts opponents are hounding an unelected govt advisor for driving up and down the A1 the govt get to duck other much more awkward questions about how they are handling the pandemic. He'll probably go, but pop up in another 'advisory' capacity. If there were a GE this year it would be a tougher issue for BJ, but as it is it will be old news soon enough.

You should never trust a scruffy ****. And he’s one scruffy ****!

Boris will just have his friend round for dinner, it'll make no difference. If anything the opposition need him to stay so they can circle back in 5 years when the true devastation and fallout is known.

Will end up resigning, take a few months off whilst still effectively doing the job in the background and will then be officially back.

Politics is like football and being sacked or resigning means fuck all.

It's jobs for the boys.

I was thinking that. He will still advise as a mate rather than official advisor, then half a dozen other shit storms will have happened which means everyone would have forgotten about this one and he’d just be back doing what he’d been doing anyway, but back as an official job title.

Both spot on. Other headline today (times I think) 'Govt dithering led to death of thousands' - I'm sure the torys would rather spend a week being grilled about an unelected nobody driving up the A1 than this.

All that way for a shag? Let's hope he didn't shove shove spurt and waste everyone's time.

I cannot remember the details clearly and cannot be arsed to check - but the situation with Mandleson comes to mind - there may be parallels

Bottom line is - he will simply have to go - what a dick.

Terrible timing for Brexit though

Cummings chums in the media are citing ‘ruler privilege’ as a reason why he should not only stay but be exempt from Govt rules and, presumably, the law of the land. I wasn’t aware that Cummings had been elected ‘supreme ruler of the UK’ but perhaps I missed it.

Even more amusing it’s the same mob who rail against the ‘elites’ and their contempt for the common folk when it comes to Brexit etc.
