I think if Cummings had early on said he'd panicked and made a mistake due to pressure of work etc and apologised then to the country it would have been a non-issue. Certainly to me, anyway. But he didn't do this.
The current story of one rule for them, another for us plays out against a background io people making incredible sacrifices for the benefit of the nation. And they feel stabbed in the back. The ironical thing is that Cummings would be pleased of such strong and simple messaging. It actually plays to his theme of attacking institutions!
I think this is a prime example of Cummings' flawed genius: he sees apologising and admitting his mistakes as a weakness, so will do anything to avoid doing so. Even if it undermines the Government.
