'We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of an appalling hell hole.'

Boris Johnson’s chief adviser has posted a bizarre, rambling blog post inviting „super-talented weirdos“ to work at the heart of the UK government.

‚“We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of an appalling hell hole, weirdos from William Gibson novels like that girl hired by Bigend as a brand ‚diviner‘ who feels sick at the sight of Tommy Hilfiger or that Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB,‘ Cummings wrote.

Setting out his plans, Cummings said there were „profound problems at the core of how the British state makes decisions,“ saying he wanted to bring in „super-talented weirdos“ with „genuine cognitive diversity“ and hire fewer civil service applicants with arts degrees from Oxford and Cambridge University.

Cummings said the government’s 80-strong majority meant the government had „little need to worry about short-term unpopularity while trying to make rapid progress,“ meaning it could take unpopular risks that previous administrations could not.
