Here's a take no one asked for.
The (entirely justified) anger at evil balloon, Dominic Cummings, driving to Durham during lockdown, merely reflects our inherent selfishness. We're so, so angry at this because we feel a sense of personal injustice.

But let's not forget that this is a man who, in his endorsement of 'herd immunity,' allegedly argued that if pursuit of such a strategy meant some pensioners would die, too bad (subsequent inaction resulted in those very pensioners and thousands of others losing their lives).
The same man that pig-botherer, David Cameron, described as a "career psychopath".
Driving to Durham is possibly the least bad thing that Cummings has ever done, yet it has incurred the most ire because we feel we've been personally slighted by it.

I'd love to see the same rage over:
Almost 40k deaths and counting
Worst death toll in europe despite warnings
PPE scandal
Ventilator contracts
Raging social injustice
Black people 4x more likely to die than white people









I'd like to see the same fire and fury when it's not just because someone's got something you haven't.
I'd love to see the same rage when it isn't all about YOU.
