The anti lockdown ones? No, I think they’re not right at all, but with free speech they have a human right to voice their opinions. Unfortunately, friends in the area for other reasons said a large number weren’t wearing masks and It was chaotic, not social distanced. It therefore had to be shut down.
Yes, the handling has been poor. However, the video says nothing but that people don’t understand. It’s quite poorly done. It doesn’t challenge anyone bar the common cold guy, which doesn’t challenge perceptions. Unfortunately, people miss actual fraud and lies, yet when they face a pandemic create a conspiracy. Just because they aren’t far right doesn’t prevent them not believing a conspiracy theory. There is a right to real anger where people’s jobs are gone or at risk, equally people were already under pressure and have Brexit to cope with upcoming. There will be more unrest, most likely, probably riots rather than simply protests. However, unfortunately many are going through the same and mentioning it constantly being ‘less severe’ or ‘less harmful than a common cold’ shows clearly these people just don’t get it. None of the people I know who work in the NHS (I’m in uk but will be same for other medical staff internationally) agree with that, and they are the ones who’ve witnessed the illness and it’s effects. Some are physios who’ve been trying to help those with long covid recover, others witnessed those seriously ill. Script reading, Government take overs etc. Utter rubbish in many ways, or at least in the way it’s meant by those on the film.
Also every news I’ve seen has acknowledged them. They all seem a bit short of actual knowledge, including the reporter.
