Public slam spin doctor for defying his own rules

-

BRITONS abiding by the Government’s lockdown measures have slammed the “hypocrisy” of Dominic Cummings.

Members of the public took to social media to pile pressure on Downing Street to sack 48-yearold strategist.

Some said they had not left their home to see their family since February, while others said the reports were making their “blood boil”.

One user, who gave his name as Tony, tweeted that he was unable to hug his father at his mother’s funeral, saying he was “frankly appalled”.

He said: “The lack of care or thought for other people in not following the necessary guidelines to ‘flatten the curve’ by someone who was self-proclaimin­g their infection with the virus. The hypocrisy is unbelievab­le.”

Another user, Katie Hall from Yorkshire, said: “I’m 5 miles from my shielding parents... we’ve only seen them at a distance to drop off food...my children haven’t seen them at all apart from digitally...the ‘he was with his parents’ stuff is making my blood boil.”
