1/ Fantastic to see efforts from so many officials, scientists, deep state, & misfits pay off with something left/right/remain/leave can all support.
Science must be core priority of UK + of No10.
And science funding must become much more diverse with much less friction

2/ For background -
The Power of the Context, Alan Kay

The Dream Machine, Waldrop.

My paper on ARPA history & why UK needs its own

3/ Alan Kay, one of the PARC alumni present at the creation: this video explains the history & explores crucial Q: why so little learning from ARPA/PARC?
4/ Also brilliant work by a young neuroscientist, James Phillips, who came to No10 spring 2020. Apart from saving many lives on covid, e.g making us realise the possibilities of rapid testing, he shepherded #ARIA thro the treacherous shoals of Whitehall. + Jo S @ BEIS ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

1/ How sanctions will soon be seen. Public already shifting cos cost of living (US too). Last to see? Social-science-#FBPE-twatter, always the easiest to fool with propaganda, believe what they read in papers, perpetual groupthink & hysteria dominiccummings.substack.com/p/snippets-4-a…
2/ What happens when you make privileged lefty Ivy league/Oxbridge grads/postgrads super-powerful in politics? E.g a/ Brexit! b/ Trump! Look at DEMs now, *absolute shitshow*. Delusional on Trump, again! The last ppl on earth to trust CNN/NYT 🤡

3/ Nuclear war = 100s of Auschwitz's in hours then more from poisoning/starvation. For? East UKR?! NATO expansion?! We shd try to REDUCE potential for disaster from nuclear miscalculation, not EXPAND no of ways we get 100s of Auschwitz's dominiccummings.substack.com/p/snippets-4-a…

Vote Tory = more...
taxes
regulation
shit bureaucracy
violent/sex crime
neglect of security/armed forces
A&E disasters / NHS neglect

... while idiots babbling about trans & other shite get promoted all over sw1

#RegimeChange
2/ Tories & their wider support in media/'think tanks' etc are so intellectually, politically, & organisationally rancid that a change of leader may well not change these dynamics, but there is NO chance of even discussing serious change unless the 🛒 is replaced
3/ Only point of 🛒 as PM was to act as spokesman for the Vote Leave agenda while we pushed everything in a different direction. Once this was 99% abandoned in 2020 the entire spectacle is pointless *for all except the 🛒 himself* who enjoys riding his bike at Chequers etc

Left graduates 2019-21: hurrah for 'rule of law', ECHR, HRA, JR, EU procurement law, boo to Cummings, hurrah for fox-clubber JRs, 'process is good'...
today: just take the evil people's stuff NOW, 'process' is bullshit
NB ECHR/HRA protects mafia too, not just terrorists & paedos!
A feature of how Gvt works is HRA effects v rarely explained cos most don't want people thinking 'mmm maybe change that'. As I explained last year, on IRA amnesty & boats, gvt legal advice on HRA was *central but not publicly stated*. Relevant to slow action on oligarchs too
HRA is obviously *not* the only factor but the media is not explaining its role, so slow action seems particularly weird. (Am happy for Left graduates to join the Vote Leave campaign to ditch the HRA, welcome aboard comrades!)

Lord Chief Justice crushes Kimono-fox-killer: total vindication for my decisions on moving super speedy on procurement to save lives (remember all the ignorant nonsense from pundits/minor social scientists/Remainiacs?)
dominiccummings.substack.com/p/the-uks-proc…
Crucial: as Ive argued since BEFORE covid, we urgently need a SERIOUS EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT SYSTEM. The EU system killed people & let FoxKiller waste millions of taxpayers ££ for 2 yrs on nonsense. I had to move v fast in totally opaque legal miasma. Where is Gvt action???
Good news Court of Appeal has seen sense & said I behaved lawfully but it's hopeless having these things go thro courts for years causing massive uncertainty/delays/costs across Whitehall. We urgently need *clear procurement rules for people acting in an emergency*

When your #OODA is fkd...
1/ U send out defenders on tv & it's like they're working for your opponent #MoggTV
2/ U try to defend yourself in panic & blow up credibility of your own 'inquiry' giving lobby justification to dismiss as 'whitewash'
#🛒 #RegimeChange
When your #OODA is fkd...
3/ Your best line of defence is ... catastrophic, and the more media you do defending yourself the more you destroy your own support & hasten the inevitable #RegimeChange Image
When your #OODA is fkd...
4/ Your defenders accidentally admit to so much crime going on it would swamp the police if investigated, while thinking they're helping #RegimeChange Image
