I think Van Tam tried to make his view clear at least on the Cummings affair. What did he say - “The rules are very clear. The rules apply to everyone.” I think short of naming names, we can only interpret that one way.
He seems genuinely concerned that we are at a “dangerous” point and worried that the public are alienated and any sense of “social contract” has been undermined.
Of course, the politician whatshisname, just parroted the usual line - “Mr Cummings has explained at length.... blah blah”
Yes and it’s precisely this “explanation” that has angered people, you muppet!
