Did you offer to resign? I did not. Did you consider resigning? I never considered it. Under enormous pressure from the public, the media and politicians, Dominic Cummings did not consider resigning. The most powerful and influential man in the country is unelected. I would argue that that alone is evidence of a decline in democracy, or even its death. How did he get to this position? Through illegal tactics. This is not hyperbole or speculation. He masterminded the Leave campaign and broke the law when he did so. He has faced no consequences to this; he has, in fact, so far been rewarded. We cannot know whether Leave would have won otherwise, and this is the cruel beauty of this tactic. To suggest the outcome should be revoked is itself seen as a threat to democracy. The damage is done.

There are some things that aren't memeworthy. The death toll is one of them. That this government could knowingly allow this to happen is almost impossible to comprehend: it would be an act of sheer evil. That those people have control of this country is a terrifying, terrifying thought. But this isn't a crazy hypothesis. The evidence points to it being the case. All along, they said they w...
