Cummings and Johnson evil geniuses? Hardly, just lazy and incompetent | Nick Cohen

Foreigners can sometimes see a country with the greatest clarity. British politicians and journalists, who think themselves sophisticated, watched Dominic Cummings’ press conference in the Downing Street rose garden on Monday – along with countless citizens outraged by elite double standards. To my knowledge, only one viewer saw the trick Cummings was pulling. It wasn’t an opposition MP or hot-shot reporter but Jens Wiechers, a data protection consultant from Cologne.

Cohen would know a thing or two about being lazy and incompetent.

The Wayback Machine showed DominicCummings had added the reference to coronaviruses [to his blog] between 9 April and 3 May 2020. Did he contribute to SAGE’s Consensus view on potential relaxing of social distancing measures - 4 May 2020?

it is the scumedia that are lazy, incompetent. what a headline!

Incompetent NickCohen4? They won the EU referendum, they won the Conservative leadership election, they won the 2019 general election. That seems far from ‘incompetent’.

No that is the journalists

BorisOut This useless inept incompetent PM must resign and take DominicCummings with him. How many people are they going to kill! Please sign and share this petition. Thanks 🙏

Please sign and share this petition. DominicCummingsmustbesacked his sheer arrogance and lack of remorse for his irresponsible actions is a slap in the face to the public and those grieving lost loved ones. He wrote the Rules! 😡😡😡 Thanks 🙏

Well yeah, you could call them so many names, but genius won't be one of them.

Someone who comes up with “ I’m gonna take a long drive to test my eyesight” can’t be a genius...and what to add about the Fragel...

Cummings presented a tissue of truth propped up on lies. Travelling with the infection is unacceptable, and thus behaviour from a senior government advisor is unforgivable. The public are angry and want Cummings to be sacked.

In your opinion.

Both should go!

Personal insults from the left. Nothing new then.

Is he the bingo caller ?

Lazy and incompetent maybe, but conniving to promote their own interest above all else mostly. Never trust sociopaths to run your country.

Well written - it is important not to allow to let this one go despite 10DowningStreet wanting to dictate the agenda. This was an outrageous claim that will have been allowed to slip through the net but for those who question the 'facts'. Keep pressing . Cheers

Lazy and incompetent journalists at the Guardian you mean

They are almost qualified to write for the Guardian then.

Cut to the chase, Nick!

And entitled, don't forget their inflated sense of entitlement?

Go and do the dishes Twitter men.

It’s like people thinking Trump is some kind of political/business genius over here in the USA. He’s not. Like my Mama, RIP, used to say, “Even a blind squirrel will find an acorn every now and then.”

You forgot one. They're lazy, incompetent AND dangerous.

It`s the guardian comic playing to its childish readership, all three of them.

Listen fed up with this phoney lockdown so just thought we would speed herd IMMUNITY yours the four HORSEMEN

Remind me, which is which?

Please - I'm a leftie and Guardian reader but this has become a witch-hunt rather than journalism.

Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson have wrecked something precious | Jonathan FreedlandTheir actions may damage the Tories’ political prospects, but the real victim is the British people’s trust in those in charge, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland Breathe freedom. Good. The British people *shouldn't* trust who is in charge. Because the people in charge, and especially the Tories, are incompetent, self-serving, and often criminal, and the people should be resisting them and trying to hold them to account. Millions disagree
