I heard on BBC radio this morning that IDS thinks the government have given in to scientists over COVID-19. It seems that in the Toryverse, now not only is the UK at war with the rest of Europe, but we’re at war with truth. It’s the scientists’ job to tell the government the likely consequences of their decisions, and they’ve done it in good faith. They don’t deserve to be maligned for telling the truth.
Presumably if the government had stood up to the scientists, then when the COVID-asteroid smacked us in the face, another explanation for the disaster would have been found.
I don’t think I’m going to church this morning – if a lockdown is worth starting, it’s worth starting now.
