Curious leftwing desire to harm opponents

I cannot be the only one who really couldn’t care less that Rosie Duffield bent the lockdown rules. Actually, I couldn’t care less that Dominic Cummings bent the lockdown rules either.

Rules they say are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

Many of us will sympathise with Rosie and Dominic as we have also ‘bent the rules’ a bit and done no harm by doing so, because we have done so safely and not joined in mass drinkfuelled gatherings.

Rosie spent time with a new partner and putting morality on one side, caused no lockdown harm. Dominic Cummings drove to Durham, in a car with his family and then isolated because they had symptoms. What harm was done? None.

Your correspondent Brian Moore finds unacceptable Rosie being “hounded” by the “right wing” press; she merited one short item on one day in the Telegraph - not much hounding there.

Somehow, however, the daily hounding of Dominic Cummings, in the press and on TV, Brian Moore did find acceptable. Dominic Cummings is not a politician, he’s not a scientist or doctor fronting the campaign, he’s just a hate figure for left wingers and therefore somehow it’s acceptable to hound him out of his job, make him unemployed, make him suffer.

There is a curious left wing mindset which considers any harm done to a right wing figure is morally acceptable. Perhaps Brian Moore would like to spend a moment pondering his double standards.
