Oh come on! It's not as if they had known for at least three weeks that there was a more infectious strain of the virus going around and they had been warned by scientists for a fortnight that insisting schools were safe and that children should go back would be a really bad idea, so it came as a total surprise to them and they had to change their minds about threatening schools with legal action for not opening just 24 hours before and, instead, had tell them all to close...

Sounds like a conspiracy.
Quote Why are the news channels giving Capitan Hindsight prime time TV to broadcast "His reply" to the Prime-ministers public announcement. It just sounded like an election broadcast, free of charge. Because Captain Lack of Foresight keeps doing U turns and has no strategy at all?Apparently it's all the fault of this new chap 'Mutant Strain'.

So that sounds like you are saying the new strain does not exist and was made up as a excuse to change Christmas plans so that they would not be accused of "another U turn".
Quote So that sounds like you are saying the new strain does not exist and was made up as a excuse to change Christmas plans so that they would not be accused of "another U turn".Nope. What I'm saying is that the government is looking for any scapegoat to cover up its own incompetence.Of course the new strain is real. The scientists told them about it weeks ago. Just when the government was urging children back to school.Johnson doesn't like giving out bad news, and nothing is ever his fault.
Do you trust the Government

NoYour turn.
Quote NoYour turn. I'm more likely to trust science though.
If as you say they knew for at least 3 weeks and the scientists were also telling them and yet they still wanted to carry on opening the Schools. I don't believe even they could be that incompetent so the only thing left is purposefully trying to spread covid.
Which ones
I think they're just too stupid and arrogant to believe what they're being told.
Just when you think the UK is fucked up....... the USA goes one better
That's what you would of seen here if Brexit was stolen after it was voted for.
Got mine saturday morning, 1st part anyway.
I just hope they don't go the same way with vaccine roll out as they did with test and trace, that being putting capacity over actual delivery. Having a 1000 or 1000's of vaccine sites with trained personal is pointless unless you've actually got the stuff to put in the syringe and a guaranteed supply for further doses required.
My guess is it's reduced but to what and if that is low it could render it much less effective? So far no one from the government is confirming actual supply figures just it will ramp up to pie in the sky numbers, where have we heard that before
Meanwhile, the family of "Vaccines Minister" Nadhim Zahawi have Set up a medical company...

I see the questions have been asked a few times direct to Hancock and the way he skips over them looks suspicious to me, like he knows they don't work on that basis but just says there is not enough data and quickly moves on. Telling the public that would destroy any confidence in the vax.
