Fans of Super Furry Animals are attempting to get their "The Man Don’t Give A Fuck" song back in the charts after Dominic Cummings' movements during the coronavirus lockdown emerged.

Boris Johnson’s senior advisor has topped most of the headlines over the weekend after it emerged that he had travelled over 200 miles to Durham from London during the coronavirus lockdown.

While he claims the trip was safe and was an emergency trip to get care for his son while he and his wife had coronavirus, many people have spent months away from their own families due to the lockdown measures, and are now absolutely fuming.

Many are calling for Cummings to resign or to be sacked by Boris Johnson, but the Prime Minister confirmed he was backing his senior adviser over his travel decisions yesterday (24 May).

In response to the advisor's interpretation of the lockdown rules, fans of Super Furry Animals are trying to get their 1996 song "The Man Don't Give A Fuck" back in the charts as a response to Cummings' movements during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Back in 2000, Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys told BBC that the song is about "about the mistreatment that we've had at the hands of politicians for years".
