@Burneside - anyone else 'caught' transgressing the rules who held positions of authority have resigned or at the very least apologised. Cummings has done neither. And whether he or you like it or not his position in No 10 means he is in a position of authority. If he cocks a snoop at what people are supposed to do, or not supposed to do, then others will follow suit. It is as ...

Of course Cummings is involved in the policy decisions of Number 10.! What do you think his job is?! Of course he is involved in the writing of the rules.

Truly appalling. But did they then kneel on his neck and suffocate him? No. George Floyd, as I understand it, was already handcuffed and on the ground. If the police officer wished to further control him, if  Floyd was resisting arrest, then the  police officer could have have had a gun pointed at Floyd given that the US police are armed in that way.  Or had him tasered perhaps. Or used ...

The question still remains: would he have been dealt with in the same way if he had been white?

Ah! So it was his, Floyd's, fault all along! Doh! Silly me. The question is: would he have been dealt with in the same way if he had been white?
