UK government accused of distorting findings of judicial review inquiry

“I would have more confidence in the government’s consultation if, in its eagerness to use the panel’s conclusions as a springboard, it had not begun by mischaracterising them.” theguardian.com/law/2021/mar/1…
‘The minister’s foreword to the consultation claims that the panel identified a growing tendency for the courts to review the merits of decisions, and to replace the reasoning of decision-makers with their own.’
Guess what? It didn’t.

Government are a bunch of shysters intent on destroying democracy.

They should all be locked up.
‘the MoJ’s overview of the panel’s findings did not match the reality. “It is so political, I mean it’s blatant,” she said. “It’s another example of this government’s modus operandi, in running scared of accountability and scrutiny and checks on their power.”’

Our gov’t lie.

‘A country proroguing parliament illegally here, trying to break international law there. Paying its citizens to “eat out to help out” in the midst of a lethal pandemic. A country testing its eyesight in lockdown...’ theguardian.com/news/2021/mar/…
‘A country whose leadership stitched up the NHS in the morning and then clapped for them at night. A country opening schools for a single day, threatening to sue schools, shutting schools. A country on holiday during its own emergency meetings.’
‘A country locking down too late; opening up too early. A country sending its elderly to die in care homes. A country unwilling to feed its own children. A country spaffing £37bn up the wall one moment and refusing to pay its own nurses a decent salary the next.’

UK applies to join trans-Pacific trade group ft.com/content/000afd… via @financialtimes
‘Britain’s application to join a trade group in the Pacific while ending free trade with the EU — Brexit has spawned vast amounts of trade red tape and border controls — is one of the apparent paradoxes of UK trade policy.’

It’s not a paradox. It’s stupid.
‘Another UK government study in 2018 suggested that trade deals with non-EU countries and blocs such as China, India, Australia, the Gulf countries and south-east Asia would only raise British GDP by a total of 0.1-0.4 per cent over the long term.’

More stupid.

COVID is airborne. Don’t go inside unless there is no alternative. If you work from an office, should you be?

Government, a business declaring itself safe because it has spaced its employees out more than before and has hand gel is insufficient.

journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-…
‘Two different research groups have recently demonstrated the presence of infectious SARS-CoV-2 viruses in aerosol samples from patient rooms. ... these studies very likely underestimate the amount of viable airborne virus available for inhalation by others.’
‘Exposure to small airborne particles is just as - or even more - likely to lead to infection with SARS-CoV-2 as the more widely recognized transmission via larger respiratory droplets and/or direct contact with infected people or contaminated surfaces.’

I have a dream...
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
