WATCHING the rat pack of journalists trying to make a name for themselves in the garden of Number 10 by vilifying Dominic Cummings was not an edifying spectacle.

They did not listen to him when he told them that he had not broken the rules, even when he read the relevant paragraph out to them. Neither did any of them express concern for the health of him and his wife.

One wonders whether their aim was to incite the mob to attack him and his family? Why, Mr Cummings, did you not simply ask these hypocritical, self-righteous prigs, ‘What would YOU have done in the same circumstances?‘
