British Conservative Cummings, poor people and COVID-19

This 24 May 2020 satiric music video from Britain about the adviser of British Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson is called Dominic Cummings – Driving Home for COVID.

It is a parody of the song Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

It says about itself:

Dominic Cummings is driving home for COVID-19.

LYRICS:

I’m driving home for COVID
Oh, I can’t wait to just get loaded
Driving home for COVID, yeah
Dance to ABBA, drink some wine

Got this nagging cough
But I will be there
I’ll shake it off
Stop at the Welcome Break
Grab some Benylin
Driving home for COVID

260 miles, but I’ll get there

Top-to-toe in dead cats
Bamboozling you with 5D chess
Soon there’ll be a fuckup, yeah
To distract from the previous mess

Now I’m driving back
To London, but I
I will return
Return to Durham
Driving with my COVID

Clip here. The van is run by the group Led By Donkeys. pic.twitter.com/0OZZpVcwOp

Jaywick made international headlines when the United Nations highlighted it as an example of how the British government has failed to deal with poverty.
