I actually have a theory that Dominic Cummings is in cahoots with the Ford Motor Company. The trip to BC was all just a clever ploy to get the press to congregate around his house later on for several days and film him getting into and driving a Ford Discovery SUV. Product placement, that's what the whole thing was about. Ford got free advertising and in return they sent a bunch of money to Cummings' untraceable offshore bank account.
Prove me wrong.
