These revelations, if you can call them that, from Cummings are quite something.
It's as if a hell of a lot of people knew the government were about to fuck things up, did fuck things up, and continuously fuck things up but it's someone from the inside (Cummings) who can reveal it in all it's miserable glory.
Some of the things he's said so far:
- on 12th March, Cabinet Sec told PM they had a herd immunity plan 'like the old chickenpox parties'. This is at a time where the virus was already spreading like wildfire in Italy and that that country had already been in lockdown for several weeks.
- The night before, Helen MacNamara (former deputy Cabinet Sec) said 'I think we are absolutely fucked. I think we are going to kill 1000s of people' after being told 'there was no pandemic plan'.
He says 'Cabinet Office is terrifyingly shit'.
'Hancock should have been fired to at least 15 or 20 things, including lying to everybody on multiple occasions in meeting after meeting in the Cabinet room and publicly'
This is only the beginning, as well. I hate Cummings for the role he played in last year's shit-show as he is culpable as the rest of them, but if this means we are one step closer to getting the people in charge out of power then so be it. It doesn't make him a saint or anything like that, but it makes Johnson and his pals far more devilish and devious against the country and its people. And that will be remembered.
