Agree with you both @Wrongcog and @chris0
I think Cummings not only used social media far better than anyone else to drip feed his poison into society but also used it to gain an understanding of the motivations and drivers trending in society. As I've said earlier he outplayed everyone else. And I think this is where my deepseated feeling of injustice comes from. I have been brought up to be fair and not lie and I'm left confused and deflated by a system of governance that has been corrupted with lies and unfairness.
Ironically the 2 people who brought me up with these values voted to leave and tory.

Don't forget their recent campaign of lies is on a base of years and years of traditional media printing more lies about Corbyn. I've said it before but I blame our state of print newspapers for our political mess

This I see as a positive thing though. Whatever motivated their current vote we can hope that they will expect a general sense of morality overall..? I think (hope) that that stands for many people and despite my instincts telling me we are corrupted beyond repair it’s people like you and your parents who can hold government to ultimate account. Am I right in suspecting they’d be let down and swing the other way if Boris doesn’t deliver decently?

I hate to say it - but I think they (the Tories) have actually ‘won’ this rather than have it gifted. Whilst I don’t disagree that opposition was stubborn, over complicated and arrogant in its nuance I think the real winners in this are right wing strategists who are streets ahead in understanding the landscape. This victory belongs to some of the worst in society, the Cummingses of this world and the clandestine media manipulators. Integrity needs to find a much much more solid footing if it is to win this tug of war at any point between now and inevitable societal break down!
