Dominic Cummings

[saptastic]

Doing his best at making the govt look like a sitcom and land a few punches.

You get a lot of his sort in IT. A lot of talk about fantastic ideas, how their superior wisdom will fix everything, then a few months later it's all "it is all your fault that I failed".

[tazdevil]

He's not very professional with all this and

Doubt he'll get another gig if he goes off about his clients afterward or is he aiming for a new career as a celebrity

[_V_]

I hope he can bring down the Tory scum govt.

Anarchy would be preferable to this rabble.

Basically the whole civil service has good people(which it does), however not at the top!!!

So a senior doctor is very good at what they do, thankfully. But the health secretary is a moron.

Matt Hancock does a runner

British form of Govt separates actual professionals who do the job and “elected” morons who will be in charge of policy

In other news - Nhs will sell off personally identifiable patient info unless you opt out in the next few weeks. And if you opt out they will still share your info, just without name/id.

Cummins is referring to senior unelected individuals also in the civil service.

In fairness, it's about as "box office" as a parliamentary committee gets. The criticisms of Hancock are hilarious and he'll obviously have to resign after this (but won't).

I remember opting out of NHS data sharing years ago. Do we have to opt out again?

So if everything was a shambles in September, why didn't he call it out then? Why wait six months until after he's sacked to shout like a jilted lover?

Whilst I am sure there's been many mistakes made, are his accusations decisions that were unwise in hindsight with his superb 20/20 vision or completely nuts at the time and totally against any sane assessment of the situation?
