You’re angry about a govt SpAd taking a drive to Durham during lockdown?

Imagine members of your community being rounded up and deported or denied life saving healthcare by the govt - and then them dying waiting for compensation.

I can tell you what true rage feels like.

And imagine those same people tried to bury a report which revealed all the scheming that had gone on behind the scenes

Then imagine the party choosing a man that describes your community as “picanninies” with “watermelon” smiles as leader

And then his special advisor hires a eugenicist that thinks your community have lower IQs

And imagine all that happening while your community is harassed and abused by the police

And you’re discriminated against in education and the work place because of who you are

And then you turn on the TV and your community is dying in higher numbers from COVID-19, but people say it’s biology and not societal inequality that’s the factor

And people write opinion pieces about how your community is victimising itself

I can show you true anger

So, yeah - you’ll have to excuse me if Dominic Cummimgs driving to bloody Durham doesn’t seem to phase me when you put this situation into its damn context

Also, my point still stands about it being wrong to say you don't care if his uncle died, or if he needed childcare for his autistic child

If anything, it's more so - cussing someone like that over a drive to Durham is mad
