Twitter says #MattHancock should face prison. Sadly
1. as a crown minister he's exempt from almost any charge
2. Only him?
Collective responsibility?
PM Approvals?

For Justice English law is 👎
We need Int'l Criminal Court, Crimes Against Humanity

But chant "Lock Them Up" for?

For anyone interested in this topic, the Hague grants no MP protections, but it's no certainty

Under CaH legislation it should be possible to put Cabinet members on trial for negligence causing unnecessary mass death

But (simplifying) Public Health Crimes are exempt from CaH

But there are other parts of ICC law that take precedence over any Public Health exceptions, the most obvious being the Rome Statute.

The argument would be that UKGov negligence constituted a serious attack on human dignity.

There are good examples:

* The horribly inflated state of Hospitals due to unnecessary exposures
* Delays
* Summer madness
* Care homes chaos - didn't need PPE
* Ring of steel Care home sacrifice
* 1386 airport passengers with #Covid19 let through unchecked, who became almost all of our infections

If that model (or an alternative) is accepted by the ICC there are some more mundane things to solve, like why UK Cabinet was uniquely negligent.

I cover those and other points here 🔽🔽
