You could well be right. On the other hand Johnson will retain the support of the many thousands of people who know - as he knows - that such restrictions are utterly pointless and only imposed to appease the paranoid among us.

@errorswillmultiply1697 Not exactly a convincing argument as such, is it? A pop-eyed loon playing the guitar badly and voicing his paranoid instincts is scarcely a substitute for a reason-based risk/ benefit analysis.

@errorswillmultiply1697 The overwhelming consilience of expert opinion hasn't exactly stood us in good stead do far, has it? Other experts, not so clearly aligned with official strategies, have differing views which seem more in accord with the facts. I'm busy next Tuesday. Sorry.

@errorswillmultiply1697 As stuck as you are in your views you must admit that here is a substantial body of opinion which questions not only the efficacy of many mitigation measures, but which contends that whatever relatively small and temporary reductions in covid spread they may bring, these are far outweighed by their long term social and economic costs - as well as upon public health generally. We are already seeing the effects of these, while the benefits of many of the mitigation strategies are far less readily discernible. I have recently come across the work of risk assessment specialist Professor Norman Fenton to add to my list of experts whose views coincide with my instincts in these matters. Are you familiar with him? He has just done a study of UK covid statistics which is most revealing. I do recommend it for your attention. (P.S. What was the lockdown report you found it so easy to disparage? I'd like to see if it's in my catalogue. It's only too easy to get fooled by scientific papers which seem to say one thing and mean another.)

@errorswillmultiply1697 I'm afraid I'm a member of both these clubs too! Both contentions have considerable merit, especially the one about Cummings which has always struck me as an entirely reasonable explanation of his behaviour: far more so than the idea that he was driving from one beauty spot to another simply for recreation. The 2020 election fraud is far more difficult to untangle and I am rather thankful that political developments in the US are overtaking any necessity of proving it, other than for reasons of historical accuracy.

@errorswillmultiply1697 Well it is! Anyone with dodgy eyesight knows how important it is to check on it before embarking on a long journey. Making a short journey on uncrowded roads is a good way of doing it. The idea that he was taking his wife for a birthday picnic in a car park is utterly risible.
