RE: The good news about the tory victory16 Dec 2019 11:40
Notwithstanding my doubts about economic success from leaving the EU, the tories might make a go of it. However, in the telegraph I keep reading about how Dominic Cummings is going to do/review many things, so far these include review the MOD, perhaps get rid of the aircraft carriers etc, review the civil service and replace people, he has already sacked a number of ministers aides ( to the anger of ministers) . It was also Cummings that forced out people like Clarke, Hammond , et al ... in fact the politicians that I saw as reasonable and honorouble ( even Boris’s brother couldn’t stomach it. Also the doing away of the BBC licence, I guarantee if some kind of commercial BBC is formed we Will fur the day. I pay for subscription TV services, the BBC provides incomparable value for money with everything from Radio 4 ( the best radio station by far), superb TV and dramas ( I would cite Wolfe Hall there as an example of exemplary drama) . To lose the BBC ( yes with all it’s waste and jobs for the boys) would be singular crime against the British people. We are entering the world according to Dominic Cummings. The MPs he managed to get rid of were intelligent honourable people, whose reasoning you could listen to , not just three word slogans repeated. .... and now I turn to the horror show that he had largely helped to create, what looks like the beginning of the dissolution of the Union. I hope that what’s left of the honourable part of the tory party wakes up and has enough sense to get rid of the fowl creature.
