People comparing Cummings to Caroline Flack

[panhandledrama]

I am quite shocked to see a number of posts in the last few days comparing the media treatment of Dominic Cummings to that of Caroline Flack . And how we need to #bekind
Surely there is no comparison! Caroline was a minor celebrity who was hounded due to a domestic incident
Cummings told us as a nation what we can't do and then did it himself while other people lost jobs and couldn't say goodbye to dying loved ones due to sticking to HIS rules. People are outraged that other (labour) mp's have done similar but they aren't the prime ministers puppet master

Surely people can see that these are totally different scenarios and people have a right to be outraged this time!

I'm finding it quite bizarre that there are now complaints about the press approaching his parents.

His mother gave an interview to one person. I'm not experienced with the press, but even I know that if your son is in the midst of a media scrum and you give a "No-one is understanding we are a grieving family" interview to one person then you are opening yourself up to all of the others wanting to speak to you.

I feel so sad for Caroline Flack and her family. Her death (as are all deaths by suicide) was so needless. I read that she was terrified of a domestic violence trial and the media circus that would ensue. I'm sure it was more complicated than that, but as it turns out it would never have happened due to the Corona virus. Poor poor girl .

Dominic Cummings, on the other hand, can fuck right off.

That "poor girl" smashed a lamp on to a sleeping man's head.
