My article for Conservative Home about why we cannot continue being governed by scientific advisers
Yes!
Brilliant.
The whole thing has turned the country into a sort of theocracy.
Not allowed to question the narrative.

I hope that all of those giving scientific advice to the government – and thereby being given an opportunity to wreck the country’s economy – have been subject to security screening.

After this latest nonsense, Whitty should be made to resign. I certainly have no confidence in his judgement.

Well said JR.
The scientific advisers are demonstrably poor at assessing basic evidence of disease severity and nor are they very adaptable as the disease evolves. It begs a host of questions about their suitability for their current roles.

Actively seeking out information from very well respected scientists (including at least 2 former Nobel Prize winners) has left me wondering what is really going on. I’m encouraged that at least one MP is questioning the narrative.

Unfortunately the site named ‘Conservative Home’ is what used to be termed ‘wet’.
Yesterday’s man David Gauke features prominently.
So it is a complete waste of time posting there.

They’re going for Zero Covid.
An impossible target which aligns entirely with the Green/BLM/Trans/Socialist agenda.
None of this is by coincidence. They are all riding a black swan to crush Conservatism and conservatism.
The Unions are loving it !

Everyone knows that the extinguishment of the pandemic is no longer feasible.
However, some countries did far better than others in saving lives until vaccines/milder variants/therapeutics arrived.

No, let’s be governed by a bunch of fact-denying anti-Continental neurotics instead.
