Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[tell it like it is]

I imagine any scientist with a knowledge of how this should have been handled will criticise the Government's slow response.

Her Tory hatred stems from well before this. I can see why her and Labour party member John Ashton are oft quoted.

She's one of those blasted experts that we have to ignore.

So you think it's more important that they "hate Tories" than that appear to be being proved right in what they've said?

Not at all.

I'm more curious as to why the media seem to like using the likes of her and Ashton, the latter of which doesn't react well when his Labour links are revealed.

There's a difference between being right and relishing in being right.

John Ashton was on Newsnight in January warning about Coronavirus. There may have been a degree of political point scoring going on then I don't know, but they've been proven to be prophetic words and, let's get this right, there would be plenty from the other end of the political spectrum "relishing" being right if the figures were making a case that the Government had been correct to put off introducing a lockdown for as long as they did.

Is anyone relishing being right or is that a suggestion which is meant to reduce trust in these experts? Gove saying UK had had enough of experts only landed because people were starting to feel/already felt the televised experts were becoming out-of-touch despite their concerns, thereafter ignored, being largely well founded. We're all on the same team here (we all want government to act responsibly and get it right as quickly and safely as possible) but some are saying it's uncouth to ask questions when they get it wrong or simply don't give us information, despite chancellor saying they welcome feedback, because it's "point scoring".

Imagine being this much of a fanboy of a political party, embarrassing.
