1/6 Open letter to Matt Hancock re #civicduty

Here are some thoughts on how to encourage people to exercise their #civicduty and engage with Track and Trace. The over-riding principle is that the government must first exercise its own #civicduty to people. More specifically:
2/6 The government should admit:
- Government negligence and misconduct in February and March caused thousands of preventable deaths
- Science was selected to fit government policy and not the other way round
3/6 The government should admit:
- The government has routinely misled and lied to people
- Ministers and advisors have not always followed the standards that they have asked people to follow

1/5 Re Matt Hancock’s exhortation that it is our #civicduty to engage with Test and Trace.
I would happily engage, but unfortunately I have lost all trust in and respect for this government.
Therefore, it cannot reasonably expect my co-operation.
2/5 It is like the fiduciary duty of an employee to an employer.
If the employee clearly fails to show loyalty to the employer, they can be legally dismissed.
In this case, the government has failed in its duty to safeguard its citizens.
3/5 The negligence and incompetence of this government has caused thousands of preventable deaths.
The continued incompetence of this government will cause thousands more preventable deaths.
Cummings’ behaviour and the defence by ministers was an insult to the whole country.
