To give you start to any research, Look up the question about Cummins that Dominic Grieves MP asked in Parliament. How can I research, how other people have formed an opinion on Dominic Cummins?

You couldn't make it up. FWIW my financial situation is the best it has been in years, I wonder if I put it down to Brexit if the BBC would report on it? Anything factually incorrect in the article?

I've seen posts from the people that you would call staunch Tories, and hard right wingers, admitting that they would be behind some of the socialist policies if they can be proven to be financially viable. Us Conservatives arent always as stubborn and heartless as you would have people believe. I expected Tories on here would be furious about some of Johnson's possible leftish economic policies, as they were unhappy about previous Labour suggestions on taxation plans. I'm saying I like that Johnson might be implementing some of these types of policies. I'm looking forward to seeing staunch Tories decide that these are now good policies as they are coming from the conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'You wouldn't that, would you?' Think you should stay off the pop, not only is it making you read things that I didnt say, it seems to be affecting your ability to put together a coherent sentence.

The blue rinse brigade shouldn't start panicking, as even Johnson's most ardent supporters know that most of his ideas will never be fully implemented if at all.

I'd tolerate the price at this point if the timescale became more realistic. The length of time to complete this is absolutely outrageous. There are zero genuine reasons this couldn't be completed much sooner. It's always the same. The entire process will be severely inefficient, undermanned and under-machined. It's going to be very interesting to see what other transportation technological advancements and adoptions render this utterly daft.

It's certainly a strange one. Maybe there have always been figures like Cummings in the background acting as advisors and setting agendas, just that this is the first time one has developed a public persona? What I found realy disappointing was on The Last Leg on Friday they did a piece against Cummings that seemed to mainly focus on his strange fashion sense and his weird face/head. I couldn't care less what he looks like. We need to be watching what he does, not what he looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
