I'm upset at what they've done to themselves and to some of us but in calmer moments I see they are victims too.I find it upsetting, actually, makes my stomach turn.

Never one for original thought, you seem to have picked the ‘group think‘ off the shelf expressionette quite recently- could that be because Dom n Bor are floating precisely the same words in the Daily Mail and elsewhere as their pretext for attacking the Civil Service?I could change from basic arithmetic to group think that you appear to prefer but as the past 5 years have shown the results do not match your wishful thinking.
Could be, but I've heard others like that who are all too real.Am I still the only person here who thinks this may be a spoof?
Either way, the twatter looks a real dickhead. If it’s real, he’s a prick for posting it. If it’s a spoof, he’s a prick for posting it. Such morons have been a gift for the last 4 years to those who want to leave.Am I still the only person here who thinks this may be a spoof?
Oh man, this is going to be good-
Exactly, Trump could justify dismissals and attack any testimony against him by diplomats and government officials as being the biased actions of Never-Trumpers. In other words their actions weren’t based on professionalism, code of conduct and loyalty to their country but on their bias against Trump. Johnson and Cummings are pulling the stunt here- the head of the CS must be an avowed Brexiteer. If they get away with this, how far will they go in polluting the Civil Service with their lackeys?The attempts by Cummings and his admirers on here to portray the CS as biased and obstructive as opposed to inefficient or somehow more cumbersome than for countless previous administrations is all to do with ideology. If Labour had won the election and set about this course of action, the same people would have been screaming and howling. The GOP enabling of Trump has obviously impressed Cummings and his backers and this is part of replicating it here. Nothing to do with wanting an unbiased or honest CS, everything to do with having a more compliant one.
Why would it be spoof?Am I still the only person here who thinks this may be a spoof?
You answered your own question.Why would it be spoof?
Credible to me, and the writer is adamant its genuine.

PS It’s a great example of what twitter/twatter is all about and is best avoided.
As I’ve said numerous times now, leave supporters swarmed to the tories with small but still significant numbers to the brexit party to ‘get brexit done’.
The remain supporters should have voted Labour where Labour could win a seat, or tactically against the tories where Labour are nowhere. They could always have swung straight back to their Utopia party at the next GE but they didn’t want remain enough to help enable that second referendum.
Do you mean the difference apart from my post being an honest opinion and not a running, snide commentary of others messages?You give it to em', Brian!
By the way, how is that chap pointing out the mess that those Brexiters have made of their own lives any different to posting this kind of thing every couple of days?
Maybe I wasn’t looking for it, but the Twitter thread didn’t read as snide to me. I’d say it was more like astonished.Do you mean the difference apart from my post being an honest opinion and not a running, snide commentary of others messages?

Not in the slightest.

Chat? istm I’m just answering your questions and I’m flattered you think I have the answers. There are nearly 29,000 members and I’m sure they’re all on the edge of their seat at this new member’s continuing inquisition.Flattered that you want to continue our 'chat' but debating Brexit is far more interesting, no?
Though understandable, the EU negotiator must surely know this is an unrealistic demand with a tory govt holding an 80 odd seat majority.
