The cunt might have a point Diversity innit? It's actually the opposite if you read the link. He only values people with advanced Mathematics or Physics backgrounds for a start.

That appears to be standard for data scientists no?
There are other things mentioned but it’s interesting that he mentions that he doesn’t want public school types.
Surely there are too many public school types as it stands?

That appears to be standard for data scientists no? No. The advert appears to be for a wide range of policy advisers and analysts
Data scientists and software developers Economists Policy experts Project managers Communication experts Junior researchers one of whom will also be my personal assistant

But that's the qualifications for category A, no? B. Unusual software developers
We are looking for great software developers
C. Unusual economists
We are looking to hire some recent graduates in economicsSome of the other categories are more vague in terms of what they are looking for. I thought this was interesting: G. Super-talented weirdos
People in SW1 talk a lot about ‘diversity’ but they rarely mean ‘true cognitive diversity’. They are usually babbling about ‘gender identity diversity blah blah’. What SW1 needs is not more drivel about ‘identity’ and ‘diversity’ from Oxbridge humanities graduates but more genuine cognitive diversity.
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. If you want to figure out what characters around Putin might do, or how international criminal gangs might exploit holes in our border security, you don’t want more Oxbridge English graduates who chat about Lacan at dinner parties with TV producers and spread fake news about fake news.I thought you would like some pushback against the kind of public school graduates who tend to fill these roles and their lack of real world experience no?

Cummings doesn't have the power to appoint senior civil servants or senior advisors on his own. And even if he did there's no way he'd be appointing people from council estates. It's an iconoclastic fantasy and I don't believe a word of it. Interesting is one way of putting it, egotistical incoherent rant might be another. And where are these applicants meant to get their Phds from if they've never been to university?
If they are really serious about getting more diversity ( although the way he mocks the term suggests to me he isn't), there are practical steps you can take to do it. Frenzied rants aren't one of them.
