its that nobody wants to be first to take it ...

I fucking do.

But then I work with someone who's been actively involved in developing a vaccine candidate (albeit one currently at the pre clinical stage so miles away from ready) and I can see how many hoops they have to jump through to prove it's safe - even on this accelerated timescale.

I'm no Cummings fan but I find it humorous that they are trying to paint the Governments failures on him and his Vote Leave crew. How many different people have now been blamed for Tory government issues now, it must be near double figures over the 10 years they've been in power? Whilst this is definitely good news, Boris Johnson is still our PM and is still utterly useless at the job.

yeah, he was a nice scapegoat for Johnson. But, this is the way Johnson does things...he is a figurehead and just lets others do the work...chairman of the bored.

Overall I think it's good that he's gone, didn't like the way he saw the world.

Cummings' BBC documentary (below - it's well worth a watch and will make a lot of sense) made me go from thinking he's just a misunderstood nerd to someone who's genuinely dangerous. He's pure toxicity, hell bent on the idea that to create a better world you have to destroy it first, utilising psychology and propaganda in the process.

In their 10 years in power the Tories have blamed for their own failings:

- Lib Dems

- The EU

- Immigrants

- Corbyn

- Remainers

- Parliament

- The courts

- The young

- Dominic Cummings

 

Not once have they accepted any blame for anything, they are running out of people they can shift it too. Instead it's just them to blame for so many of the issues we see now today.

Seen this too and can also recommend, along with the one about the Murdochs on there (have you seen that?).

Fraid to say that from what I have read, Cummings isn't even the real end of level baddie. His boss his Andrew Elliott, who runs all the US backed lobbying groups out of Tufton St. His American wife (sarah) is the head of 'Republicans in Europe) and used to work for the Koch Brothers. Also have links to Robert Mercer (Breitbart founder; Trump's biggest donor; illegally leant Leave Cambridge Analytica).

Can’t really celebrate this Cummings thing. There’s something going on here that’s probably going to be worse than DC staying in Downing Street. Highly suspicious.

Yeah I don't feel good about this either. The people we really need to get out of Downing Street are the Tories.

    • Personally, I do hope Fontaines headline next year. Feels like it's their time in terms of the contemporary element - I know 2028 could equally be but I think (and speaking as an old git) they are probably the most significant band to emerge for a good few years, and they've already accumulated 4 great albums, let alone adding 5th, to field a memorable setlist.

    • Alright fair, I thought she only did BST once. Though I do question how that type of pop show will translate to a stadium.      
    • yeah, but I enjoy moaning about them too much so whatever I guess.   and besides... a few years from now there will be absolutely nothing on TV except for Coben based shows so I'd best get used to it...   🙂        (for anyone who has ever read a Coben book - are the books as utterly sh*t as the tv shows???)  
    • Those in the Glastonbury ‘Tour’ thread buying tickets noticed it when tickets first went on sale.   And if you look at the blocks still on sale here https://www.axs.com/uk/events/1489025/muse-tickets?skin=theo2 blocks 410-414 definitely stand out as the only seating areas without tickets available, so appears that they still haven’t gone on sale.
