Dominic Cummings

[lankeela]

drops No 10 in the mire over 'illegal' drinks parties - but points out that the one he attended days earlier definitely wasn't! Who would believe anything this toady two faced liar says ever again?

[albaqwerty]

I couldn't care less what he says about anything. I'd like to know why the media report on what he spouts. If they've got nothing to gain from it, why do it? :-)

[tonyav]

If that toady two faced liar told me today was Saturday I'd check the calendar.

[anneasquith]

Do you trust Boris more than Dominic ?

[tonyav]

Right now I don't.

[youngmafbog]

Personally I dont trust either.

[lady-janine]

Untrustworthy and unworthy.

[Mozz71]

Cummings is a sleazeball. I can see why Boris liked him so much.

[emmie]

perhaps Boris didn't like him all that much, but used him as a means to an end. No one truly knows what Boris thinks, no more than any politician.

[Khandro]

It was really Cummings, not Boris who 'Got Brexit Done'. He's brighter, than Boris, got street cred & is a fighter. I personally wish he was back in #10 to stir things up, but fat chance.

[youngmafbog]

I can. Before Carrie Antoinette got her claws into him Cummings was Boris - and he get him to PM. It ahs been very obvious the change to a liberal green for Johnson since he has gone.

Cummings, although an awful character, is a brilliant strategist. The sort of person you have on side - but at an arms length. The Prime Minister and her husband failed to realise this and are now paying the price. He will not go away and no matter how much people dislike him when he plants the seeds of doubt (which is what he is doing) it will stick in peoples minds.

[emmie]

no chance at all.

[lady-janine]

Most times I don't think Boris knows what Boris thinks.

[emmie]

that was to Khandro post

[ichkeria]

I have always had a grudging admiration for Cummings, while at the same time deploring his methods.
I was one of those who laughed at the "Moonshot" project, but in actual fact the LFT tests have been a great success.
And it's noticeable that since his departure from No 10 things have nosedived there - from an already low base, so quite an achievement.
I was never sure if the infamous No 10 Garden Show (back at a time when no one had anything better to do that watch such things) was something he really wanted to do or something forced on him by his boss (a bit like the news conference by the Salisbury GRU "tourists")
as a humiliation.

I think Boris has lost his marbles since DC was ousted by *the wife *.

[Peter Pedant]

Cummings is a sleazeball. I can see why Boris liked him so much.

r William Gordon Casselman argues that, while the word is now in wide circulation, "paraprosdokian" (or "paraprosdokia") is not a term of classical (or medieval) Greek or Latin rhetoric, but a late 20th-century neologism,

that is, for slow Ab readers - the fella says it was never ancient Greek but an English sixties made up word

First one IS Aristophanes - "I have been awake all night - tormented by the tax man."
shoulda been flea - atheian audiences possed themselved

[Khandro]

Peter, If paradox is two doctors (geddit?) is proparadox the support you give to them?

[Zacs-Master]

No, properdox are red with yellow stitching. End of!

// Who would believe anything this toady two faced liar says ever again? //

His record so far has been 100% true.
He drops these little snippets which are usually instantly denied. Then another source confirms Cummings story. No.10 then don’t say anything and hope it just goes away. And it is Boris/Government that people stop believing.
All very damaging. The severed alliance might go down as Johnson’s greatest mistake.
