Get Cummings Done.

One can only imagine the Dom/Boris conversation. ‘She’s coming down with it/ We can’t do without you/ Can I take her to her mothers?/ Of course dear boy.’ One could also imagin a news headline the following day, ‘Advisor’s family rushed to grandparents by official car to safeguard government.’ But true to DC’s way he opted to do it himself. I imagine he sees himself as a Bletchley Park back-room operative making history without being a visible part of it. He’d cracked the code of British political propaganda, the three word phrase, and it’s ‘All gone Pear-shaped.’ (ignore the hyphon) So is there a deeper truth here, that if you live by subterfuge you will die by subterfuge? And the same goes for being too clever by half. The distortions used to win the referendum and elections, the deceptive vacuous assertions that underpin our current government’s political rhetoric are coming face to face with their maker. Dominic Cummings actions on that car journey were best justifiable and at worst immaterial but the public outcry of genuine anger is palpable, if unfathomable by Conservative ministers. It’s a reaction to the rank puss of their own disingenuousness; the oily smell of a dead body. But it’s their time in the sun, their culmination, each one clinging to the lead Lilo of the office they’d so long dreamt of. Yes they’re out of their depth but the British public could forgive that. Being deceived, duped, lied to and treated as stupid we won’t forgive, especially by those ‘who serve us’ in public office. So could the man who handed power to the Conservatives have driven it away in 220 miles? Can we be saved from the UK being the 53^rd US state with Boris as State governor rather than our own PM? Can Keir Starmer hold the dagger of calm truth to the throat of this gang of rogue boys? Series two will be out in the fall, sorry autumn. And now to the commercial break.
