Cummings and Goings of a T-Rex

I think the Dominic Cummings scandal will possibly play out something like this:

• Cummings will continue to refuse to apologise or resign. 
• Boris will continue to profess support for him publicly and refuse to respond to calls for him to sack Cummings. 
• Public opinion will continue to drain away from both Cummings and Boris. 
• At some stage, when the tidal wave of anti-Cummings opinion has reached a crescendo, Boris, under instruction from Cummings, will issue an order to Cummings to apologise, which he will, but still refuse to resign. 
• Those who have been calling for his resignation will take this as a small Pyrrhic victory in the face of insurmountable arrogance and then the furore will die down, with Cummings still in place, or should that be in power. 
• Those who have continued to defend the indefensible will feel vindicated and accuse those calling for Cummings' sacking of bullying.

Personally, I believe Cummings, along with Boris, Gove, Hancock, et al who defend him, are the best advert possible for a change of government and Cummings would better serve that purpose by not resigning.

You can tell that people are responding to the call to return to work - the number of bikes being advertised on Facbook Market has gone through the roof, and the prices are very low for what appear to be very expensive bikes.

We've been engaged in some groundwork in the garden for the last week, the purpose of which I will reveal in a week or so. While doing the groundwork we came across the bleached, fossilised remains of a complete, T-Rex...

At least that's what was written on the fossil...
