🚨New #IndieSAGE paper🚨

1. From Stay Home to Stay Alert, UK government messaging has been much discussed during the #COVID19 pandemic. #IndieSAGE has analysed its effects (March-Oct 2020) and makes recommendations for a communication reset.

2. It is through language that #COVID19 laws, regulations, rules, and guidance are written - which must be understood, interpreted, and acted upon by people. Precise messaging is easier to understand and act upon.

For instance, what counts as 'mingling'?

3. While 90% of people believed that “Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives” was clear, "Stay Alert" was immediately challenged, rejected by other UK nations, criticized, satirized, and - crucially - not understood by 65% of people. Image

Please don't obey the #RuleOfSix. It hasn't even been passed thru parliament as an act of law. No vote has taken place for it. We're at the stage now where the government is ruling by decree. If you obey this rule, you are endorsing a dictatorship.
Never mind that it makes no sense anyway. It's not 'only ever be near the same 5 people', it's 'dont be near more than 5 people at any one time.' so you could move from group to group and all intermingle and if there was a deadly virus it'd get around everyone anyway. 2/
Except it's not even that. It's not 'dont be near more than 5 people at any one time', it's my more like 'dont do anything for fun or with political purpose with any more than 5 people at any one time'. 3/

I've been saying this for months now, but the behaviour of police globally over COVID-19 coupled with inconsistent application of draconian restrictions on civil liberties is over the top.

THREAD from a distinguished Australian legal academic. 👇👇👇
And yes, the new 6-person rule over here is a steaming pile of 💩💩💩. Over it. Sort yourselves out.
Remember when the Tories could credibly use this as a campaign poster?

No, me neither. #ruleofsix Image

Day 1 of family self-isolation has been profitable: that’s the teddies all sorted into size order... #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingFromHome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro Image
Day 2 of family self-isolation has been more academic in nature: the kids have (unprompted!) sorted their books into alphabetical order by the first letter of the author’s surname. I’ll teach them MHRA referencing tomorrow. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome @nickisapiro Image
Day 3 of self-isolation has been more practice-led, with a focus on architecture and engineering. That’s just my take on things; the kids called it den building. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro Image
