You are planning to drive 260 miles but you are worried about your eyesight, what do you do?
Vote
For those who don't know, Dominic Cummings is the chief advisor to Boris Johnson and was the central architect of the official brexit campaign. He's effectively in charge of the UK government's strategy including having a part in the Coronavirus response, and is famed for being "anti-establishment" (despite being in it). A major scandal has developed in which, all after lockdown was implemented in the UK:
Tl;dr: Top UK government advisor violates lockdown by driving 260 miles and back apparently to visit his family while ill with COVID-19 symptoms, then is spotted having driven a tourist destination 30 miles away which he claims was just to test his eyesight. Despite the fact that this is illegal and a sackable offence, the government fully defends him even though it has caused the public to turn on them and endangered lockdown. So if you wanted to know who's really in charge in the UK, it's him. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser ... Copied to Clipboard!

can't see him going now, if they were going to sack him they would have already
glad the government's paying in popularity for being so in thrall to the weasel bastard, but even that won't matter much with the next election four years away thoroughly demoralising situation really --- And if you don't know, now you know. ... Copied to Clipboard!

And hopefully this is damage that will stick, it can be hard to turn things around when they start to go bad for you. Either way, I'm starting to think that Boris doesn't make it to the next election. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh Advokaiser ... Copied to Clipboard!

This will blow over and people will be like "are you still going on about this?" in a few months.
The entire modus operandi of these people is to literally never apologise, not accept wrongdoing, and hope partizanship carries them through. And once the outrage dies down, it will. --- Come, azuarc, as you were As I want you to be ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fortunately people can have long memories and it can take a very long time to recover from scandal (see: the Liberal Democrats). Though, we are in a time when things seem to change constantly.

I mean, it hasn't even been a week
His supporters will continue to say things like "change the record" and that it's old news, etc, and eventually talking about it will just seem silly and forced because clearly there will be no apology or any lasting loss The poll numbers for Johnson don't matter either. There is simply no way this would have any bearing on a 2024 election unless Cummings goes, which he won't. It's not meaningless, but they can treat it like it is, and that's all that matters. --- Come, azuarc, as you were As I want you to be ... Copied to Clipboard!
