Cummings is Recruiting

Dominic Cummings is recruiting !

Just read the abridged version on Guido which prompted me to read the full version here on his blog ...

https://dominiccummings.com

If you don't rate Dominic Cummings, you should, especially if you are a remainer because its one of the main reasons you lost.

Here is the abridged version courtesy of Guido here ...

Re: Cummings is Recruiting

Like he said:
"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”*
Get brexit done

"Every age that has historical status is governed by aristocracies.
Aristocracy with the meaning - the best are ruling.
Peoples do never govern themselves. That lunacy was concocted by liberalism. Behind its "people's sovereignty" the slyest cheaters are hiding, who don't want to be recognized.”*
We must take back our sovereignty.

Re: Cummings is Recruiting

The paper reeks of "management consultants" and "gravy train".

Cambridge dictionary definition of propaganda : "information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people's opinions:"

Propaganda exploits the frailty in human thought processes.

I'm not sure why you are laughing? You may as well admit you don't have a clue what he is going on about.

What is likely to happen is that he will make scrambled eggs rather than a souffle. He will then disappear in two or three years max. In the meantime a whole host of parasitic contractors will make a mint and drink champers on Mustique. That's my bug bear with his plan. The fact that tax payers money will go down the drain on those who swan around. Once push comes to shove and their mistakes are discovered they are already on their next gravy train merrily waving adios.

Boris should look back at history and recognise that those who lead people to power are no longer useful once power is achieved.

Cummings has spent nearly 20 years on his ideas for reforming the civil service. For a start, his recruitment campaign is not an open offer to tender as you seem to think it is, he is asking for individuals to apply.

Other ideas from Cummings include a regional cabinet so that departments are distributed around the country and spending on objectives rather than process. This would be a revolution in clearing out the mandarins in the civil service allowing a much stronger focus on delivering projects.

Lansley spent years planning the Health and social care act. it's now slowly being reversed after being deemed a colossal failure.

As for the "ideas", it's all blah blah management speak. He will chuck out people who have years of experience and then when he's gone they someone else will be begging them to come back on massive salaries. This is how these things work.

If you want to believe the sun shines that's up to you but I think a massive re-organisation just when there is Brexit around the corner and all hands are needed on deck is reckless and such changes should not be left to one person.
