Sidders: I'm still a true blue, but the whole Establishment is useless, almost beyond saving. Cumming is right; the (Establishment) swamp needs clearing but now that he's gone who else could /would do that job. DC was, we are led to believe, instrumental in the Brexit and election successes - Boris did as he was told (by DC, we are led to believe). In other words, Boris' success is down to DC, who - as his assistant (not Chief Adviser) - protected his back. After the election, when the swamp clearing began, unfortunately BJ didn't/doesn't have the balls to stick with his man, DC, who is decidedly NOT 'Establishment. The 'Carrie' factor also appears to have influenced BJ (when has a woman not!) and DC was out. My change of view came about as BJ was now truly exposed as a leaf blowing in the wind. Actually, I do really believe in some form of revolution; but that's not going to happen in the UK - we just muddle on. Like him or not, Nigel Farage is right on many issues but unpalatable to many.
By the way, can't decide if Raynor was on her way home after a night out ...
