I wasn't commenting on the story though was I? I was asking why you say it was under reported. It was in the newspapers, where you saw it, and it was reported by BBC news. Do you mean it should have been over-reported?
I see no reason why Mr Whitty wouldn't say what he means, after all Van Tam did and despite all the comments about him probably being gagged he wasn't and he still come on TV and answers questions on the briefings.

It's just that it is reported as a fact but in reality its someone else saying Mr Whitty said something and the government saying he didn't. It's just another example of journalist and the press looking for negatives to report, and not just the Gardian but all of them. Why not wait until he actually says it himself?

I make the point again jusat so it's clear - - I was not commenting on the story!!
