I suspect Boris was right in his instincts on Covid (it was NOT a killer plague but was a media hype). And got pushed into stupid lockdowns and Nightingales by the same advisors who got him ditched.
What's really disgraceful is how Cummings, a bitter ex-spad, has been indulged in his nasty acts of rank hypocrisy by a media that is happy to let it pass because it serves their purpose. There will come a Cummings for other parties and other governments, and they won't have a coherent means to complain. It's a scandal that even now he has such an impact.

Stop? I don't think anybody actually went to Rwanda, although I read somewhere that we paid for it anyway. It was just a lie.
It was no more than smoke and mirrors and way to look the government were doing something productive. The money we gave to Rwanda was no more than a foreign aid token.
No one believed the plan would work due to lawyers and ERCH. The media have stopped talking about it.

Yes but they thought it and said it and the majority agreed. We can't just rely on their ignorance (of laws) or organisational incompetence to avoid this; or gas Chambers. At some point a gifted or even genius politician may come along, as happened in the 1930s in Germany....
