Neat little sleight of hand by Hancock in the briefing yesterday.

Last Wednesday Boris said 1,322 people had died in the last 24 hours, this was FAKE NEWS, a lie, 1,322 people had not died in the last 24 hours, it was the number of deaths reported in the last 24 hours, and as always on a Wednesday, an artificially inflated figure which catches up with the under-reporting of deaths at the weekend.

Yesterday the number of deaths reported in the last 24 hours was 333, an artificially depressed number, due to the under-reporting of deaths at the weekend. But did Hancock use this number, as his boss had done last Wednesday, no of course he didn't, he used the average number of deaths over the last 7 days, 800 or so I think it was. Of course none of the media picked up on this subterfuge, not the BBC with their 'Reality Check', nor the 'Facts Are Sacred' Grauniad, none of them, they all go along with the Government's Project Fear, which treats the public with utter contempt.

But can you blame them for treating the public like morons, if the Polls are to be believed, Project Fear has worked, the vast majority of the public approve of being treated like morons, it seems they want even more of it. And I'm sure our government and media are only too happy to oblige.
