I was looking up something on Dom Cummings yesterday and was amazed to discover that there's not a single news item about Cummings if you search over the last week. Prior to that you get a plethora of news stories.
It seems that, since spotted running out of 10 Downing Street, he's gone to ground. Mind you, despite me not being a conspiracy theorist, he does have some geeky, misfit friends who are adept at covering tracks.
Remember Protect and Survive, the 1980s public service film about nuclear war that was narrated by Patrick Allen (I always confuse Patrick Allen's voice with that of Stanley Baker)? His voice was the epitome of authority and confident command. His voice was used on Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Two Tribes and he was the face of Barratt Homes adverts. He was also noted for his somewhat irreverent voice-overs for E4.
Well, the government should get someone who can impersonate his voice and do telly broadcasts to warn people to stay home. It would resonate more with people of my age than a politician stood behind a lectern.
A useless bit of trivia concerning my constant confusion between Patrick Allen and Stanley Baker - they both appeared in the 1959 film Jest Storm.
