Education sources had told the Guardian that Whitty was “very unhappy” with the idea of all 10 million children and staff returning to schools in England on 8 March, although the government denied this and insisted that Whitty was not opposed to any of the options being discussed. But intellect is running the show N'est-ce pas?
Whitty mentioned this at the Press Briefing, he said it wasn't the case and had told the journalist who wrote the story that it was untrue, but the paper published the story anyway.

And which paper was it publishing what it knew perfectly well was FAKE NEWS ? No prizes for guessing it was the Lefty bible the Grauniad. And yet there are some people who hang onto every word the lying rag prints, they swear by it. Ah well.
