> who is currently at the centre of a scandal for breaking the law
There was a recent story about Neil Gaiman travelling from New Zealand back to his home in Scotland. He was given a strict talking to by the police and issued a public apology – and that, as far as I understand, was the end of it. Is Cummings held to different standards?
- smcl 6y agoDid Neil Gaiman travel with his Covid 19 infected partner, or lie about his trip to get himself out of trouble? Come to think of it, has Cummings even apologised? Also we could hold him to the same standards as his peers - fellow politicians. The closest case I can think of is Catherine Calderwood ...
- DanBC 6y agoCummings should be held to different standards. He's paid from public funds. He needs to follow the Nolan Principles of Public Office and he needs to follow the Special Adviser guidelines. Both of those contain clauses about openess and honesty.
- dghf 6y ago1. Cummings hasn't been given a strict talking to by the police. 2. Cummings hasn't issued a public apology. 3. Gaiman isn't an advisor to the Prime Minister, and wasn't intimately involved with the drafting of the rules he broke.
