BJ said I must level with you, I must level with the British public: many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time
How fucking dare he. This kind of phrase belongs in a rousing speech where the public are asked to come together to do what we can to help prevent those deaths. e.g. not going to large events, doing social distancing.
Not one which says "business as usual".
There was a government adviser on the radio saying they've not banned sporting events because they're in the open and in sunlight.
What about those events undercover? Or after dark? If that's the case why aren't they banned?
They're saying they're acting on scientific advice, but they're adding a layer of interpretation which is about what they think is possible.
They lack faith in their ability to communicate what needs to be done to the population and they think we're all idiots who won't do it, basically. So they've taken the decision that they can't help people dying.
I don't know on what basis BJ and his government is making decisions, but it's not with our best interests at heart.
It's a "don't panic"'message from a government scared and disrespectful of the population, not leadership in a time of crisis.
Fucking raging.
