George Orwell said that "The lady in the Rolls-Royce car is more damaging to morale than a fleet of Goering's bombing planes." In other words, if the elite excuses itself from the national effort, this effort is dangerously undermined.
Hancock refused to criticise Cummings's disgraceful breach, while immediately jumping on minor infractions by ordinary citizens. You might or might not agree with the rule. That's not the point. The point is that if it applies to us it must apply to them. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
And let's not be naive about this. If 10 Downing Street is refusing to say whether or not Boris Johnson was driven to the park to ride his bike, it means he was driven to the park to ride his bike. Otherwise they would have firmly refuted it.
