For someone who thinks he's so smart Dominic Cummings really does say the stupidest shit.

Bearing in mind that during her evidence the other day Helen MacNamara poured cold water on the idea that anyone had seriously suggested 'Chicken Pox parties' and the evidence Cummings is presenting to back up his story does no such thing.

What we have here is yet another example of Cummings claiming he saved us all while those around him at the time seem to have very different recollections of the events.

I wonder why that could be?

[refitman]

Thanks. What's wrong with it? Usually it's possible to spot some kind of logic in her whingeing no matter how twisted but that letter makes her sound completely off her rocker. It's totally deranged.
