Piers Morgan reaction to PM defending Dominic Cummings

 
I don't respect Piers Morgan as a journalist or as a human being, after all was show business editor of the Sun and editor in chief of its sister paper the News of the World, who was as adapt as any at practicing  the darkest acts of his profession,also seen at his later tenure at the Daily Mirror, but on this latest scandal he is spot on.  He has slammed the “accountability-avoiding cowardice” of government ministers who have defended Dominic Cummings ' coronavirus  lockdown trip to see his  parents 20 miles away in Durham. Boris Johnsn's senior aide is under increasing pressure to resign after reports emerged claiming he broken the government’s lockdown rules.

 After the prime minister  and other cabinet ministers – including health secretaryMatt Hancock foreign secretary Dominic Raab  and chancellorRishi Sunak – publicly defended Cummings by claiming his journey was essential, Piers claimed it “summed up” the government’s “collective moral bankruptcy”.

He tweeted: “Cabinet ministers rushing to publicly support Cummings breaking the Govt’s own lockdown rules just about sums up their collective moral bankruptcy & fridge-hiding, accountability-avoiding cowardice.
“The public won’t stand for this shameful hypocrisy, whoever they vote for.”
 During No. 10′s coronavirus briefing on Saturday, Piers claimed ministers and experts were “rewriting the lockdown rules before our eyes” after transport secretary Grant Shapps reiterated a statement from Downing Street, which said the actions of the PM’s chief adviser were in line with guidelines.

Shapps also said restrictions put in place by the government on 23 March should only be followed “to the best of your ability” and that it was “up to the individual” to make decisions on how best to follow them.
Piers tweeted: the following

'They’re lying to us. Again. Ministers & experts. Literally rewriting the lockdown rules before our eyes just to save the Prime Minister’s chief adviser. How can anyone defend this Govt any more?'

The public are also rightly furious. They've followed Government advice making huge sacrifices to do so.People robbed of the chance  to say goodbye to their loved ones.Boris Johnson has simply gone to far this time, and has been exposed as the arrogant, aloof, serial truth evader and hypocrite who holds ordinary people in contempt,  by sticking by this most fragrant breach of the rules. I feel absolutely disgusted by all this It's simply one set of rules for them and another for the rest of us, but has that not always been the case.

At the end of the day Dominic Cummings will always be in demand wherever skulduggerry, cheating and twisting  are needed, but after over 60 k excess deaths, the worst toll in Europe and second worst in the world, not forgetting the countless deaths due to austerity and now  along comes this, it must be Johnson's final gig. A Government of zero integrity, zero honesty and zero credibility. No wonder they have no idea how to deal with the predictable disaster they alone have fashioned and created.
Even some Tories have had enough and  the press too are finally attacking the Government,far too late, since they are one of the main reasons our society is so brainwashed and broken. The clock is ticking. Johnson must resign and take Cummings with him. Two halves of the same apple, rotten to the core,  neither having fallen from the tree of self-centred corruption, deceit and disdain for the public. Johnson is sticking his two fingers up at us and is insulting the millions of us who have followed the rules of lockdown.
For  now I am furious and in despair, and as I.watch Twitter lose its mind with outrage, I really wonder how different everything would be if Jeremy Corbyn was Prime Minister. Please sign the following  petition, because we all deserve better : Public Vote of No Confidence in PM Johnson. https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-public-vote-of-no-confidence-in-pm-johnson or maybe a simple spot of civil disobedience is in order, since he has absolutely no respect for any of us, or the rules of decency. He is a sheer and utter bloody disgrace.
