Dominic Cummings

Because, like Steve Bannon and his ilk, he's an election winning machine. He knows what gets votes. He masterminded the Leave win. He taps into the Zeitgeist and calculates what will play well with Joe Public. Hence, he's held in such high regard by Gove, Johnson and the Tory hawks. A flying fuck they could not give that he "broke the rules". Can he get them re-elected? That's all they'll be thinking about. We are truly moving ever closer to a Trumpian dystopia in this country. This pandemic has ripped Johnson clean bare of all the chutzpah, the rodomontade, the bravado - you can get away with that shit when it's an election. Not when it's a virus - viruses don't care about politics.

Rodomontade? I had to look that one up.

We obviously need an Anglo Saxon word for this sort of hubris.

Cummishness? Cummishite?

This may be a minor point, but I'm going to put it out there; check how Dom the gutless is dressed, he is going to No10 for a will he wont he, chat with the guy who is supposed to be running the country, and he turns up in, a t-shirt and some what are they lounge trousers? All the signs of a man being asked to come in by someone who he sees as being beneath him in the organisation as a personal favour

This is very true.

Make no mistake, this isn't someone who is just unthinking a bout what he wears.

It is someone who attempts to carefully construct an image that he is unthinking about what he wears.

He chooses to attend a meeting about a national scandal that he has caused dressed like that because he considers maintaining his own image (that he considers to be some sort of sartorial machismo) over treating it with respect or any sort of formality.

It also speaks volumes about his view of the ire and grilling that he felt he was about to receive. If, sometime in the future, he appears in court on charges (not about this) then I suspect he will ditch the Picadilly spice addict look in favour of something that suggests he respects/fears the process more.

As you say the way he acts and dresses speaks volumes about him.
I don't think he would have had second thoughts about advising a leave alone policy for care homes.
 
any of us would do anything to protect our kids,absolutely anything . Lockdown ? there is no lockdown, but as he had preached it he should have quit the moment he started his car engine.

why he's not been sacked can only mean he's too important to the fight.

Because Bill in all but name he is the prime minister, Johnson couldn’t run a bath the clown
