Re: Naomi Klein

That's strange. I thought the UK Government was following a declared strategy that involves continuous escalation, timed for maximum impact, using measures planned for weeks ago in addition to incorporating new information and taking into account resource availability. They're then supporting it with a range of economic measures never attempted before in this country.

Amazing isn't it - the amount of hard of thinking NPCs that demand we all "listen to the experts" or "follow the science" suddenly get their nickers in a twist when the science and the experts are advocating something they don't like or agree with.

The UK is following the science and has the best people in the country to make decisions stood either side of Boris at every press conference. This is the very definition of a science driven expert approach. Now, will it be seen to have been the wrong approach with the passage of time? Who knows, possibly, but based on what knowledge and data were available at any given time the experts did the best they could.

Most of the same people would be lauding the approach with just one change - Corbyn stood between the experts. That's the real source of the complaints - that labour were roundly trounced at the election and the PM of the moment is Boris rather than their preferred lame duck.
