    Except for the behavioural scientists, presumably.

    Suppose it depends on what you thinks more important.

    Starmer has really got some knickers in a twist today hey. It amazes me what actually gets people wound up in life. You should be furious that people are dying and have died due to lies and incompetence. You should be furious that you were sold a world beating test and trace system costing billions of our money, gone to a private company and that its ****ing ****!

    But no you're furious because someone said to follow the science! Did you get this furious when we were told we were following the science before? Maybe it is affecting peoples mental health!

    If the government had followed SAGE's advice and gone for the circuit-break, would you two be blowing your tops at Johnson in the same way you are at Starmer?

    When his actions kill tens of thousands of people you might have a point here.

    Personally, I'd be saying that another national lockdown - of unknown duration - was a mistake. There are large parts of the country in the south - London excepted - where the covid growth rate is minimal. How does it help to shut down all their businesses?

    What I would like to know is that if Sir Keir is following the science why did the WHO say lockdowns don't work?

    A slightly more measured response than those you and Ellers have made towards Starmer.

    No one's talking about an open-ended lockdown. Two or three weeks is what SAGE recommended and Starmer has backed.

    The only other element I'd added for Starmer was opportunism, and that is my belief. He has to show to his MP's that he's not rubberstamping the government, so he's chosen the first opportunity to do this.

    The problem is, if the circuit break isn't working in three weeks, the scientists may well say we must give it longer. I can't see them saying - give up

    Just debunking some fake news, mate. If you want to hammer Labour/Starmer when we have such world-beating death and economic decline then at least do it with something accurate.
