Cummings v The Masses – It’s Like Man City v Rochdale
Anyone who has followed Brexit with any degree of interest would have heard about Boris Johnson’s appointment of Dominic Cummings. Rampant Brexiters would have celebrated with a slow fist pump. Remainers and those trying to find a path to common sense, would have said ‘Oh no…now we are fucked’.
