But the main culprits are not the public but Ministers, who have got caught in a trap of their own making. They stoked up people's fears to justify their decisions and induce compliance. They promised the impossible and, when the inevitable failure came, they blamed it on the public for not complying with their commands. The real reason Ministers have not dared answer the questions posed by their policies is that their purpose is not to suppress the virus, which they know is impossible. It is to shield themselves from responsibility.


Take a bow sir.

Boris, Hancock, Stammer and Sturgeon take note.
