A very good response IMO.

An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.

If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain.

Incidentally I wasnt sure if I should put it here or in the UK politics thread, seeing as both were around the same level of buried, probably should have put it there in retrospect.

Boris Johnson signed contract giving Dominic Cummings 'jurisdiction' over government projects
What do Tory voters make of this?Dominic Cummings asked Boris Johnson to sign a contract giving him special powers in Downing Street, The Telegraph has learned.
Although employed under the lowly title of "assistant to the Prime Minister", Mr Cummings is understood to have a special agreement, believed to carry Mr Johnson’s signature, spelling out his authority over special advisers (SpAds).
It also confirms his jurisdiction over other government projects such as ARPA, the Tories’ pledge to recreate the United States’ Advanced Research Projects Agency in Britain.
Does no one care that the power in the UK government lies with an unelected adviser who has already removed one chancellor and who has a signed contract giving him formal political powers?
To the extent that he was brought in on the back of his enthusiasm for creating high-performance orgamisations, then this:
"It also confirms his jurisdiction over other government projects such as ARPA, the Tories’ pledge to recreate the United States’ Advanced Research Projects Agency in Britain."
Does not worry me in the slightest. It is in fact WHY I want him in government.
