To no surprise to anyone in NI...

Cummings has confirmed what we all know. The English nationalist vote leave gurus not only did they not give a toss about Northern Ireland, the Good Friday Agreement, peace and the Union, they had no understanding of the outcomes the shitness of their negotiations would wreak.

Cummings yesterday, in a twitter exchange with J O'B, making it really clear that they hold the people on the Island of Ireland and the peace that currently holds in utter contempt, just how far down the priority list peace is in Brexit Britain, is nonetheless, rather staggering. 👀




Even for the deviance and morality black hole that is the Johnson government this one takes the biscuit.

It took an American president to make this peace deal in the first place, unbelievable that the British Prime Minister could chuck it all away with intransigence and neglect

Based on his personality and history in the private sector and government it is hard not to describe him as anything other than a vile, wicked creature. He has been referred to as a “ career psychopath” by many of his peers and has displayed hypocrisy on many political stances, known to deny saying or doing some of the things on record. He was the director of VoteLeave and his sentiments for his position were based mostly on his own prejudices. He is an ardent Russophile, fluent in Russian, and had lived there for a few years. Though publicly against EU monetary subsidies , referring to them as “ absurd”, he himself received €250,000 in farm subsidies from the EU for an investment farm he co-owns with a partner. He has proclaimed to be a libertarian, then not, a conservative, though often critical of their stances, and not a member of any affiliated party! His lack of care and empathy for others has been displayed often, including violating Covid lockdown measures that were meant for all. This kind of politician is a danger to peace anywhere, and unfortunately it is being seen in his lack of concern to the residents of Northern Ireland.
