I think most would agree that the behaviour of a minority of the public has deteriorated markedly since the Cummings incident, and I know for a fact that, the weekend after news of the Cummings case ‘broke’, the police were inundated with examples of people giving their name as ‘Dominic Cummings’ and saying ‘if he can drive from London to Durham don’t think you can tell me where I can go’...or words to that effect.
I’m in no way advocating such behaviour, but it is my opinion that if the PM can’t control the actions of his own senior advisor and his own father in terms of socially responsible behaviour, then he has little chance of demonstrating leadership over the country as a whole.
Coupled with the muddled thinking, contradictory messages and regular about turns that emerge from government on an almost daily basis then, frankly, I despair.
If Johnson, and more than a few other current Cabinet members, were managing a football team, leading a business or heading up a school they’d have been ridiculed and fired by now...but apparently that’s just me picking on the poor loves. ;D
