Here& #39;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& #39;re so, so angry at this because we feel a sense of personal injustice.

"It& #39;s not fair. He did something that I haven& #39;t been allowed to do, and he& #39;s getting away with it."
Don& #39;t get me wrong. It& #39;s not that we shouldn& #39;t feel aggrieved...

But let& #39;s not forget that this is a man who, in his endorsement of & #39;herd immunity,& #39; 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& #39;ve been personally slighted by it.
