Cummings gets the Boot
- Thread starter Muck Spreader
- Start date
My example was a comparison , look at yourselves .
Right wing thinkers, populists in general, Trumpers, Brexiteers in the main, habitually shoot off the auto response “haters”, to anybody who expresses an opinion opposing their own. A simple glance through multiple different threads in TFF for example is living proof of that.
The thing is, that it’s quite ok and quite normal to have a different view or opinion, and simultaneously not have the slightest sense of “hate”, for the other side.
In the normal rules of engagement on TFF, moderators actually put up with that, as they do with posters persistently calling others “liars”, at the merest hint of expressing a differing opinion than their own.
I just don’t know anymore!!

Apparently.
Boris has actually given him the gooner....
But he's not going for a while yet.

Well that’s the brain gone, such as it was. Watch out for some headless chicken action now.
I forecast 250,000 COVID deaths at the start of this and sadly it will come to pass. We don’t have the resolve to stop it. Through public stupidity populism and human rights we fail to control it. Only the robustness of the British constitution can fight it. That’s why he’s gone now. He knows full well what’s coming.
Same with trying to run a business in UK. We have no idea what the trading outlook will be from 1st jan. we don’t know whether we have neonic seed dressing on beet till long after we sign contract. Furlough extension announced a few days before it was to expire. Businesses treated with contempt and disregard while politicians posture. People won’t forget this shambles.

It'll be interesting if any more of the "Vote Leave" cabal go too, now that the Leader has left...
When I saw Cummings had jumped, I did wonder if that was going to be the final straw and will Bozzer will now pull the ill health card post covid, and Resign too.
BUT, now he needs to stop and face the music for the Brexit chaos and Covid misery his incompotence has, and will continue to cause.

I heard Cumming's background was in working for a very shady Russian air travel company that had planes which never took off but he'd made the right friends in the right places and was basically a go-between man who could get Russians into the UK and have them politically connected and put on the purple colour on the monopoly board when it came to the London property market....
Way things are going, there will be 250k deaths in NI alone!! DUP insisting on lifting restrictions, when the hospitals are already over 100% occupied. It’s going to be a turkey shoot.
Where’s cilla.

This dislike of Cummins baffles me. I don’t really have any opinions on him at all he was an advisor not an elected official he’s like your agronomist he tells you what you should do but he doesn’t drive the tractor or operate the sprayer. He’s a very good hate figure in order to deflect attention from those making the decisions. It was interesting that he walked out the front of Downing Street with his box basically shows he has no shame about the situation and rightly so he made the suggestions Boris and his team implemented them he wasn’t holding a gun to anyone’s head.

I've come to the conclusion, that Cummins is going anyways and he's engineered his departure to make it look as if Boris has grown a pair.
More to play out in this little cameo yet.

I think yoiu underestimate Cummings and his “role” in Government, advising Gov is a fairly dull role with little benefit or satisfaction to be gained, DC has capabilities and objectives way beyond that of a simple advisor - he’s an influencer and extremely good at it. Make no mistake he will crop up for years to come.

Bozza is in a difficult situation regarding Brexit. If he agrees to a deal it can now only be wafer thin and very difficult to sell to the people as a great success. So, his option maybe to go for no deal and try and blame the EU for the resulting chaos.
