In the light of the narrative that we didn’t ‘lock down’ early enough, here is a thread from last year in which I provide context. The submissions have been published here: committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc….

Casting aside all precedent, advice and proportion was never the right answer.
And the Commons report is a pile of arse-covering horse-manure too.
Another thread taking the Commons’ report apart.
This is also excellent.

You really cannot stop. Lying and lying and lying again. As you know very well, the insane modelling of your cronies was so inaccurate it was worthy of the epithet ‘Fergusonian’.
Insofar as there is a crisis, it is a crisis of the casualties of lockdown. The victims of your lies.
In case you are fortunate enough to be blocked.
And it does not seem to be an exclusively English disease (modelling, that is).

This is hardly a surprise. Cambridge has allowed itself to become a fiscal supplicant of the PRC as have so many institutions - including particularly universities & private schools. And don’t believe that this is a 2 way process by which our ideas travel to and influence China.
The critical mass of students from mainland China are not absorbing what used to be our values - not least because we have abandoned so many of them in our educational institutions. And even if they did, they’d have barely a hope of making an impact on the values of the CCP.
As for Huawei, that the British government was willing even to contemplate working with a front for the Chinese state shows an astonishing disregard for our national security and the motives of our No. 1 strategic rival.

Western ‘democratic’ and ‘free’ states being shown up by Vladimir Putin. That really is quite something.
Obviously not. For the avoidance of doubt - that I didn’t think would be necessary - my entire point rests on the embarrassment he causes to supposedly free states by saying this when he quite clearly isn’t the leader of a liberal democratic state.
I really must cater for the mindless stupidity - or more likely fake credulity to make their obtuse points - of large numbers of Twitter users next time I tweet.

Australia has become a police state.
In any other context we would impose economic sanctions on them. We should. And a trade embargo.
They and New Zealand have fallen well outside the free, common law world.

Not only is that more than twice the no of those who died within 28 days of a + PCR test, we knw that 9/10 of the latter have at least 1 serious pre-existing condition - so many if not most quite probably did not die from Covid.
So an unusually large no of non-C deaths in summer.
And I think we can agree that this was not caused by a heat wave.
So what investigation is @CMO_England doing about this unusual and unexpected increase of summer mortality?
Are we beginning to see the long-term effects of the closure of much of the NHS for which he was responsible?
