Dominic Cummings is on the supposedly arms-length SAGE advisory committee, as is a Vote Leave data scientist buddy of his.

Because of course they are. Why wouldn't the UK Government take the opportunity to mess up one more thing when it's an open goal?

The way the Tories have approached the whole coronavirus crisis is like the famous Spinal Tap scene, only with the outrage going up to 11, rather than amps...
I like my knuckles as they are. But hundreds of times a day, the Tories will do something that makes me want to punch the nearest wall. Resistance is exhausting, but so far they've remained unbloodied.
BTW, here's the full breakdown of the 23 people on SAGE...

"I know how hard and how stressful it has been to give up even temporarily those ancient and basic freedoms."
