Newspapers found out that Dominic Cummings, special adviser to Boris, had driven with his wife and child to North of England to stay with parents on a farm.  Both Cummings and partner had the virus and became ill.  The child had to go to hospital.  This trip and a second trip were against the rules of lockdown which Boris had set.  Many people said Cummings should be sacked but Boris said it was OK … just what any parent would do. People disagreed.   Cummings went on TV to say he did not break rules.  Now there is a big petition online to sack him as if not, people will just ignore the rules in future.
