Boris Johnson’s most notorious former advisor, Dominic Cummings, the man behind one of the most successful political campaigns in history, the one that forever changed 40 years of European integration. continues to disclose details life on Downing Street – and continues to absolve itself of responsibility, even though it has been an important part of not only Brexit, but much of the Johnson administration’s political strategy over the past two years.
“Even the closest associates of Boris Johnson consider him incapacitated and after the general elections are trying to develop a plan to remove him from the post of prime minister.” Another week – another pompous interference of the former chief adviser to the head of the British government Dominic Cummings in the press. Johnson’s former right-hand man was interviewed for the first time on television, and he once again exposed the bowels of the government at 10 Downing Street, and it is not very pleasant to hear him again.
Cummings says Johnson said only very old people died from covid-19
Some of the strongest phrases in interviews can, however, be shoved into Cummings’ scrapbooking drawer – since they are generic without reference, others will be harder to pass up. Cummings claims to have received a message from the Prime Minister on October 15, 2020, when Johnson refused to impose another conclusion, rejecting any fears of death: “All deaths occur at an age above the average hope of life. Catch covid and live longer. And I no longer believe that health services are crumbling. I think we need a new approach, ”Johnson wrote. The government told the BBC that it had done “everything it could to protect lives and jobs.”
Any prime minister, any person with power wants to know what enemies he has to fight. Cummings says that’s all. Everyone around the prime minister wants to overthrow him. And he adds that this may be due to the need to maintain their own jobs. “Either we’ll all leave here soon, or we have to find someone else as prime minister,” the conspirators said in the hallway, or Cummings says Johnson’s allies said things like that. Much of this drama revolves around the entry into the life of the government of Carrie Symonds, a former spokesman for the Conservative Party and now Johnson’s wife after a very private and secret wedding last month.
“They said that he [Johnson] I didn’t have a plan. “
Symonds is an outspoken opponent of conservatism, which the British call “vile”, vile, disgusting, vile, associated with the era of Margaret Thatcher. And Cummings gained this notoriety when he used some rather unpleasant oratory strategies to lead his Brexit to victory: from constant anti-immigration platitudes, he continued to condemn those who asked for subsidies from the state, and, in the same phrase, he turned politicians into parasitic elites and a real the problem with all of this.
“They said that he [Johnson] he didn’t have a plan, he didn’t know how to become prime minister, and that he was only chosen to solve an urgent problem, not because he was the person who had to do something for the country, ”said Cummings BBC. 2.
His speeches, which were very caustic and even demeaning to various members of the government, especially those who were in some way involved in planning the attack on the pandemic, did not cause much shock, because Cummings himself is a character who cannot inspire sympathy among those around him. … public opinion. Not only was Cummings arrogant towards all journalists, lawmakers, government officials, and just about anyone who might disagree with him, he violated the prison rules he helped write for miles when he traveled from one end of the country to the other while he was infected with the virus. … covid-19. So who is he to talk about ministers’ failures? Morally speaking, it may be nobody, but it’s hard not to want to listen to someone with this level of access to the daily life of a government in a panic.
Previous complaints
Cummings suffered from this during the most unpredictable five years of British political life since the post-war period, and now he writes huge texts about what he saw, posts the Prime Minister on Twitter, and provides detailed reports to parliamentary committees organized to investigate. what could have gone wrong at the start of the pandemic (results that will not be presented this year, a fact that has been heavily criticized by the government).
Almost nothing is given importance, almost nothing is refuted (read the evidence to contradict what Cummings actually publishes), and life goes on as usual, even if Cummings has already said very harmful things – for example, former Minister of Health Matt Hancock is practically ruled out from the government two weeks ago after being caught on surveillance camera kissing in the office with another woman and thus violating distancing rules, has long argued that the UK should choose group immunity as a strategy to deal with the pandemic. Or that the Department of Public Procurement got a “no” when it requested permission to buy ventilators for the NHS because “the market price has gone up a lot these days,” says Cummings, and that was the explanation.
Brexit legacy
When journalist Laura Kuensberg asked how she analyzed her role in transforming the country after Brexit, Cummings declined to suggest that she had any confidence in what she so bravely defended at the time: anyone with confidence in the Brexit issue. ” only he can shut up, “Cummings said, not least because” no one on this planet knows if leaving the European Union was a good idea. ” Of his much criticized persuasion methods, Cummings acknowledged that much of what he did was “provoke” politicians into the battlefield of those who advocated permanence. “Have we stretched out a little differently to try and disorientate people from the opposite camp? Yes, but this is … politics. “
