Most of all, I hate being managed, so I tend to be pretty tuned into deliberate government misinformation.
Seems like everyone is going to get this thing, it’s just a case of making sure we don’t all get it together.
They started to lie about this, conning people into thinking that they could avoid it, but they seem to be backing away from that position now.
Obviously, the NHS would never be able to cope if we all got this at the same time so I think we all have to agree with the lockdown.
They’re real problem in the near future is how to control the easing of the lockdown, or at least look like they have eased it instead of it just falling apart.
They are terrified of people being able to prove that they have had it and are now no danger to society at large.
So the main lies are going to be about home testing kits.
“They are unreliable “ etc. etc.
Next, they have to get some of the promised money to employers in the next week or there will be no April pay packet for most.
Expect riots at that point.
Overall, I think Nicola has come over as sincere while the Tories have come over as Tories.
I wouldn’t believe them if they told me what day it was.
I’m still not convinced that there was anything wrong with Boris apart from sheer cowardness.
I might have believed him if he’d died.
