It is ok if the private sector don't want them Cummings said he wanted to replace the civil service with them. Fresks, wierdos, misfits.
Because we all know that trusting HS2 to 'spice monster' Dave and 'baseball bat' Tommy is the way to go.

Yup, but this is good Blue Tape to go with Blue Passports, nothing like that nasty Red Tape and Red passports.

Almost as if leaving a trading bloc that has been aiming to reduce internal trade barriers for 60 years and then trying to trade with it is a recipe for extra bureaucratic barriers.
 
The Mail has seen leaked emails by a 'senior government adviser' who says agriculture and fishery production isn't critically important to the UK economy.

As a percentage of GDP, that's true.

Given how little of the UK's catch is eaten in the UK then the fishing industry is not currently critical to UK food supplies. Of course if imports of the fish we do eat start to dry up then that's a different matter.

IMO it's a different situation w.r.t. farming.

Now I know you're on a wind up.

How can they be put in charge of HS2?

They're still working on crossrail.

As mentioned previously.it is too simplistic to label Ceptimus as just pro brexit. He is very anti unelected bureaucrats. He will be livid about the current Government's approach to sideline ministers and pass the power to Boris's henchman who has puppeteer's hand up the chancellor's arse deciding which industry deserves Government support.

He hasn't shown any such repugnance.

While removing the domestic food supply. That will be fun. Chlorinated chicken and hormonal beef forever.

And, as an added bonus, the elderly and poor are most likely to be killed off by USAian levels of food poisoning.

The more I see of Cummings, the more I think he must have read too much science fiction at an impressionable age.

His behaviour is rather typical of one strand of the neo-reactionaries: anti-democracy, libertarian, deluded about technology shading towards transhumanism st cetera.
Basically overgrown manchildren with a crippling lack of self-awareness.

I'm only familiar with hobbyist 3D printers which are very slow. Can industrial ones churn out the thousands of components an hour our manufacturers require ?

Not without vast numbers of fabrication units, with the commensurate investment of capital, skilled labour and space.

The 3D printer thing is like the whole border thing. Relying on technology whose effectiveness is overestimated and/or whose existence is largely imaginary.

Whether they genuinely believe what they're saying or just hoping people will simply believe them isn't clear to me.

I suspect some, like Cummings, are Randesquely deluded and pull the others (the stupid, the apathetic, the desperate) along with them.
