Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: “Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government. By nature I am an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic

Mr Morgan spoke to author @BareReality who has spent a year investigating the Government’s tactics for her book A State of Fear, published on Monday.

These are shocking admissions - & more can be found in the just released book by @BareReality "State of Fear" from which these quotes & this story was taken...
