Otóz jest afera, bo niejaki Dominic Cummings pojechał sobie z rodzinką do swojego drugiego domu i robił sobie zwiedzanie z synem.
I nie wyciągnęli wobec niego konsekwencji.
Oto, co pisze mój znajomy:
Why is Boris so loyal to his mate Dominic? Maybe he relies on him for more than just impartial advice. It looks like a deep mire of corruption to me, though I only know of snippets reported from around the murky shallows at the edge. A couple of examples here:
Dominic Cummings has a sister in Durham providing for his childcare needs? Maybe, but that’s not all Alice Cummings does. In the past 5 years she’s been a director of no less than 28 companies providing services commercially to the NHS, such as scanning services and patient data management. In other words, privatised health services. In April this year she became non-executive director of the IDOX group, with companies engaged in NHS data management services, covid-19 testing services, electoral vote counting and reorganisation of the UK electoral register. The £1.7 million contract for the latter was awarded by Boris’s Government just before the 2019 election, without competitive tendering, whilst IDOX was found to have been in breach of the law in their postal vote counting practices after the 2015 election. IDOX support tracking of over 11.5 million active NHS patient records and make much of this asset in marketing their commercial services. Useful family ties.
Why are we being asked to use a partially-developed Covid tracking app on our phones that uses a central data gathering system, unlike the other established and apparently successful apps in use around the world which keep your data on your own smartphone and therefore available only to you? The company awarded the contract, again without competitive tendering, was NHSX. It is run by Marc Warner, whose brother, Ben, was recruited to Downing Street by Cummings after working closely with him on the Vote Leave campaign and the Tory party’s election modelling. We’re assured that the data will be used for nothing more than Covid tracking, but the example above shows that patient data is powerful stuff, if only for marketing of wider financial services. More useful family ties.
How far should we trust our current prime minister, his cabinet and his advisors? Personally, I have no trust in them whatsoever to represent my interests or those of the majority of us. I believe that their actions always favour their own financial interests. I think it’s a sad fact of public interest though, that Dominic Cummings’s recent breaches of the lockdown rules have raised far more controversy than the Government’s handling of much bigger issues such as Brexit, the NHS, banking scandals, austenity etc
