This is a time for sober, well-informed, transparent leadership & for MPs journalists & experts to challenge govt where they go wrong.
An Inquiry in 2021? What for?
We know what went wrong & why.
We know the govt ignored warnings.
We know this not sheer incompetence/bumbling.
“They’re environments whose principle job it is to bring people together. That’s a great thing to do socially. But it’s also a great thing from the virus’s point of view.”

Correction: 55 people were reported to have died on 23 March bringing the then total of death in the UK after testing positive for coronavirus to 336.
336! Total!
That day, lockdown was imposed.
The decision to lift lockdown tmw is a political decision.

A Great British pint in a Great British pub. We will not let some dirty foreign virus come over here & impose their PC madness on our time-honoured & hard-fought traditions. I’d rather die in a ditch...or in an ICU ward or in a care home. #PubsOpening #nigelfarage #SuperSaturday
On 23 March there were 55 deaths.
This 55 brought the entire total of COVID deaths in the UK to 336.
336 deaths altogether(!) & the country was gravely concerned.
In terms of new infections they had 967 in March, around the same as now. PM said “under 1,000”.
