Madeleine Morris on Nostr: When the Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson, was caught breaking lock-down rules ...
When the Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson, was caught breaking lock-down rules during the pandemic, it triggered this kind of immense human outrage. And while many might believe the systems did not adequately address his flouting of the laws he put in place, the hearings and the fines and his eventual expulsion as PM were just enough to assuage that innate sense of outrage.
But in the US, the flouting of laws by the wealthy and politically connected has thrived.
