Dear John - The fascist JAMES DELINGPOLE  23 Jul 2019, Executive Editor  of Breitbart UK, who wrote the article below, fails to note that The Deep State, less emotively called the Civil Service, here and in Trump’s America, keeps the system running – despite all the faulty, short-term political regimes. Our independent judiciary assures a little justice, some of it outside political influence. The free-press and social-media (at least those not owned by tax-evading offshore and foreign billionaires) ensures independent public knowledge. Trump, Johnson’s mentor, apes Hitler in his attacks on these institutions (Hitler caused 60M deaths, ruined Europe, then committed suicide – Deeply unintelligent behaviour).

 

Johnson is attempting a rugby ruck; a bunch of bullying heavyweights rushing Brexit over the touch-line by October and stampeding and stamping on any who obstruct them. (Like Bullyboy Boris floored the little Japanese child).

 

My first reaction to his new Cabinet (1) Priti Patel, when Foreign Aid minister, was reported to us by Israel for trying (and failing) to do private business – We sacked her. How much will she divert as Foreign Secretary? She likes capital-punishment. Will she hang her critics by the neck? And set up Remainer arrest camps for 18M Remain voters? (2) Sajid Javid has no skills to be Chancellor. Will he try to divert taxpayers’ cash to his Tory pals? 

(3) Cummings is clever and scoffs at rules. His constantly repeated Brexitbig-lies and soundbites worked – with the help of disgraced Cambridge Analytica (now being sued – maybe prison?) and Facebook (biggest fine ever for abusing customers’ data); he is a clever and creative marketing man. But now that he is outed from the shadows into the light – he will be far less effective.

 

Turbulent days (99 days) ahead. I think Boris will run out of puff before he hustles and bumbles Brexit across the line to score.

Subject: drain the uk swamp

Some encouraging news: Boris Johnson has appointed Dominic Cummings as one of his senior advisors.

JAMES DELINGPOLE EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF BREIBART

Cummings is a Marmite figure — loved and loathed in equal measure. But the two key things you need to know about him are these:

1. He was the mastermind of the Vote Leave campaign and was — arguably — the main reason why Brexiteers and not Remainers won the EU referendum.
2. He is a sworn enemy of the Swamp.

As I wrote yesterday, one of the most important challenges facing Boris is the need to take on Britain’s Deep State: the Civil Service and the various quangos — all of which are not only sclerotically inefficient but outrageously left-biased.
I rated Boris’s chances of achieving this at 4/10. But with Cummings’s appointment, the odds have improved quite dramatically.
You can tell the Swamp is getting nervous because already its slimy denizens are briefing against Cummings and vaingloriously boasting about how totally he doesn’t frighten them.
Hmm. Let’s see if they still feel that cocky when Cummings starts wielding his axe.
Britain’s Deep State problem is something to which Cummings has given considerable thought. Five years ago, he outlined his thinking on the subject in a speech to the left-wing think tank the IPPR.
Among the reasons why the Civil Service is so perfectly useless, he argued, is that it rewards failure (almost no one is ever sacked — they’re just shuffled to a different department); it promotes people who want to protect the system and not rock the boat, while weeding out the dissenters and mavericks who might contribute original ideas; it is process-driven, not goal-driven; it’s massively bloated and largely overpaid.
His solutions?
A mass refocussing of goals, not dissimilar to the time when Steve Jobs came back to Apple and ruthlessly pared down the product range.
Reduce the size of every government department by half.
The abolition of the ‘permanent civil service’ – which would mean no more too-powerful-for-their-own-good figures like the late Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood (who effectively ran David Cameron) nor indeed like Mark Sedwill, the similarly overweening anti-Brexit Cabinet Secretary who ran Theresa May.
I’m sure American readers will be cheering on Cummings as much as many British readers will. After all — as we’re being reminded right now by the Mueller hearings — the U.S. has exactly the same Swamp problem we have over here.
And the arrogance of these people! Isn’t it just extraordinary that instead of knuckling under and working with the new Boris Johnson administration, as they’re supposed to — this is the Civil Service’s main job after all: smoothly and efficiently to enact government policy — here they are already boasting about how they’re going to undermine it by “running rings” around Boris’s reformist special advisor.
Still, one of the great things about Cummings is that he is a ruthless operator. I’m sure we can rely on him to show these Swamp creatures the zero mercy they deserve.
