Dominic Cummings, a thread:

Wow. So it finally happened. Mark Francois confirmed that our country is being controlled by an unelected advisor.
The irony being that Cummings literally led the Leave campaign on “freeing ourselves from the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels”.
Now I can’t stand Johnson, Gove, Patel, Raab, Farage, etc but NONE of them will ever make my blood boil like Cummings does.
I shall try to articulate my anger:
Cummings is the man who gave us Brexit. Now, if the referendum had been won on honest terms I’d have accepted the result because, well, democracy. But that referendum was in no way, shape or form democratic.
The Electoral Commison found that Vote Leave, led by Cummings, broke electoral spending laws during the 2016 campaign.
Because of Cummings’ dishonest and heinous Vote Leave campaign, we are now leaving the world’s largest trading bloc and sacrificing all the benefits that come with it, such as freedom of movement.
I am so angry. It was my 19th birthday yesterday and I’m supposed to have my whole life ahead of me. But since my country is now led by a populist leader, who is dancing to the tune of his tyrannical, unelected chief advisor, you’ll forgive me for not feeling too optimistic.
Cummings is the reason behind my anger. He has taken away my rights, - and the rights of all British people, whether they like it or not - to live, work and retire in 27 other countries, on the basis of a narrowly-won and fraudulent vote.
We all speculated that Cummings was the one pulling the strings behind closed doors, but we never had any proof - until today. Thanks to Francois, we now know that to be true.
Cummings promised sovereignty and freedom to the people in the Vote Leave campaign, but he has now become the very thing he claimed to hate; the very thing he led the Leave campaign against: an unelected bureaucrat.
He is now in charge of the country I used to love and be proud of; the country I’ve seen change drastically over the past four years. Cummings is the reason I am now ashamed to be British. I will NEVER forgive him.
