Dominic Cummings.

I watched Dominic Cummings in front of a select committee hearing. My view? A severely damaged individual. What do I mean? He disassembled every question like loosening the wheel nuts on an oncoming car making it career off the road before it got to him. Time and time again they tightened them and he loosened them making it appear it was their own machinery at some kind of irrational fault leaving him untouched in the middle of the road like some blank faced Midwich Cuckoo. This is not acquired political expediency, it’s a childhood survival mechanism. A lot of kids try it on but for it to remain the survival mechanism of a full grown adult suggests a fearful overbearing parent and a very damaged child. If anything I was damaged in the reverse way. In the face of overbearing illogic I now use logic as a means of survival; harming but not as dangerous. So Cummings will never show weakness or contrition and will use his considerable intellectual abilities to defend and manipulate anything that he perceives as overbearing, importantly irrespective of its rights and wrongs. As a hired gun he’s perfect. Tell him Remain is the overbearing establishment and he will cut it at the knees, Corbyn is soft, ditto, and the British public are clods and he will coral them like sheep. Caught in Durham he will concoct a heart warming explanation. And when Boris is pressured to sack him? Who knows, but what he’s given can be taken away, ‘know what I mean.’ No one’s born bad we just achieve it by our learnt defences. That Dominic dominates is forty years historical. What I’ve learnt in seventy odd years is however it’s explained certain people are best avoided and definitely not exploited for their childhood damage.
