The higher up the food chain of power, the more likely the powerful will misbehave and change the meals.

Another good read.

Only reinforcing lessons learned from an early age. One rule for the rich, another for the poor.

Incidentally, that same rule applies all the way to the bottom strata. There is always someone over us all at any level, more influential and capable of a crippling blow to those of lesser breed below them.
There is no monopoly on arrogance!

Yup!

And it was ever thus!

Even when it comes to policy or whose opinions carry the most weight!

could of easily done an article on Cuomo's brother who is a CNN anchor and Trump hater. He was infected with Covid told all the deplorables to stay home while taking nice bike rides around New York. Being a democrat hypocrite no one would win as many points highlighting this man's total hypocrisy.

Despite the rhetoric, it is one rule for everyone. The question is: did Cummings break it?

The main journey to County Durham was within the exceptional circumstances provisions of the rules. But if, as alleged, he didn't properly and immediately self isolate, he broke the rules. It really is that simple.

runner,
What is your source for that claim?

FWIW I doubt the deplorables even watch CNN - more likely they avoid it because of the "liberal media bias".

The situation with the child is like the woman in Melbourne who was
fined for sitting on a park seat on her own.
