People were always going to use this as justification for lockdown fatigue. Which is why, if he had, at the very least apologised, people wouldn't be using it as an excuse.

I do think he should have apologised Annie but people were flouting the rules way before this, I just don't know why people would be led by that,just carry on being sensible and protect yourself and family as much as possible,why would you put yourself and loved ones at risk just to kick back at DC

The phrase "lead by example" seems to not apply to this government

You can't ignore the fact that there's a huge difference between random people flouting the rules, and the people who made the rules flouting the rules.

If a random person doesn't go along with a set of rules, they're saying "I don't agree with your rules". Which might be dumb, but it's still (at the end of the day) just their thinking.

If one of the people who MADE the rules doesn't go along with the rules, they're saying "I helped make these rules, you have to follow the rules, but I don't."

The implication is that they're bigger/better/more important and the rules that THEY made, don't apply to them - only the "little folks".

I am 100% convinced this was (and still is) Dom Cummings thinking. Not just because of his actions here, but because of pretty much everything I've ever seen him say or write. He thinks of himself as something "greater than", and he thinks of the general public as sheep. Actually more like ants.

People don't like to be thought of as little, or less important... because they aren't. There will definitely be people who think, "if the rules don't apply to Dominic Cummings then they don't apply to me". And honestly, why shouldn't they?

Not only that, but people started going OTT with flouting the rules, after "government sources" leaked to the press that lockdown was ending, as a way to gage the mood of the country.
