Is the UK government an incompentent bunch of liars?
Re: Is the UK government an incompentent bunch of liars?
Heard figure of 140 grand p.a. He's credited (!) with winning brexit and the largest Tory majority for decades. Cheap as chips to those who desired those 2 outcomes.

Apparently Cummings is 'only' on £100,000 per year as he thinks nobody is worth more than that.
Not only is he a national hero but he doesn't want to overcharge us for his services.
What a public spirited man he is.

You won't find a single person outside the UK that thinks we've managed this anything but disastrously.
I'm not at all surprised that our health system's response to this crisis has not been very good.
I worked in a non-medical NHS role for a short period of time and now I am an NHS patient requiring ongoing treatment.
Both experiences have not given me any great confidence in the NHS's organisational skills, the efficiency of its communications both with patients and internally or in its ability to react fast to changing circumstances.
Your lack of comment on the universal view that we have done badly because of the government is duly noted.
The NHS does not set government policy on social distancing or pandemic preparedness. NHS capacity response is arguably the only positive for the uk relative to others.
The alternative is the Truth that the Government failed and CC cannot accept that. He has lied multiple times and made the most absurd claims, all of which have been proven. The absolute inability to see any fault in his idols ais a typical Stan trait.

Dnn't know whether i saw it on here (still worth repeating) or on Facebook,
Apparently Barnards Castle is Durham slang for amongst other things a poor excuse..... Cummings certainly did a "Barny Castle"

Evening, I do believe we have a run off on the horizon? Between Carpet Cleaner and Dominic Cummings as to who should wear the Motley as Court Fool for Boris the Buffoon?
Only thing going against CC is the fact that DC is generating more column inches in the press!
Shame the role as Village Idiot has faded out, otherwise it would mean jobs for both of them. This is not Trolling. MM

He might find it gets harder to "earn" that money as apparently (word of mouth or Social Media) is that when the Track and Trace call, 1st contact name people are intending to give is "Dom Cummings" (then the rest). Not that I'd suggest such a thing but given how strongly the immature cauliflower is using "must, must, must" if Dom is being identified as 1st contact 100 times a day he kind of must "self-isolate" .....
And I suppose given Cummings' habit of traveling all over the country it doesn't much matter where you live as good chance Dom's travels have taken him there anyway.

A dukedom would suffice, with a cash grant to enable home to buy a stately home.
That's how we used to reward national heroes.
For once I actually agree with you. Such an award would be a superb and an appropriate illustration of just how morally bankrupt Johnson and the Tories are
As for the home, I believe that Robert Jenrick is the current corrupt Tory politician if you want something illegally signed off and save a few million quid

He'll get to God status if he survives this. -- Bojo refusing questions to scientific advisors is unbelievable. I wonder who advised him that would be a "Really good idea"?
Boris should resign now.
I am here. Where are you?

Nor am I
The Governments complete ineptitude, stupidity and failure to organise everything from PPE to the most basic equipment ensured that the response would not be good.
What needs to be admired is the way that the NHS overcame these failings and managed to function at such a high level of competency and skill.
Without the dedication, the willingness and the sheer bravery of NHS staff, many thousands more would have died.
The way the Country has resolved this issue was in spite of the Government., who lied, bumbled and staggered the way through the crisis
