Now it occurs to me that it is not only people in public office doing this, it is also lots of ordinary people, it is just that the media look for them.
Even the guy who reported Cummins broke the rules himself.
Lots of people were doing it and are doing it, with or without any influence by these people. The average person doesn't need any excuse to do what suits him or her.
