One rule for me and another for everyone else: the Cummings Coronavirus factor : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 29/5/2020

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.

There is a privileged cohort wh know that the rules that apply to everyone else, just do not apply to them! That the great unwashed were created to serve them and their hedonistic self-indulgent, self-serving, self-centred lifestyles!

I mean it's so hard to get good help these days! Or a good price for the farm! They're always complaining bout the price of everything and or the price of energy!?

How do they expect a body to produce profits and fully franked dividends?

They just need to use less of everything, put their backs into it, work harder and stop complaining about the heat all the time!

I mean, I feel none of it as I leave my air-conditioned house and drive my air-conditioned Bently to the airconditioned boardroom!

Climate change? What climate change?

Anyway, some folks have always been poor! That how the system works! They can go to vinnies or the salvos, I always put a couple of bob in the plate every Sunday! What more do they want!?

Some would complain if their asses were on fire! Really! The nerve? Who do they think they are?

Binoy if ever you produce anything other than a lefty rant, please note at the top on large capitals, or I will never know. I have given up reading lefty rants, yours in particular.

btw last time I provided evidence of the World Health Organisation tweeting that the coronavirus showed no human to human transmission you seem to disappear after your dismissive rant. Seems you really are not interested in facts. Then again all regressives hold the same dishonest ideology.
