What, Only Just?

Whitty and Vallance scaremongering.

Boris Johnson and his top scientific advisers tonight were accused of scare-mongering after they sensationally claimed the Kent coronavirus variant could be up to 40 per cent deadlier – but offered the public no evidence to justify their startling claims.

Critics argued No10’s bold claim – based on headline findings by three academic groups – were reminiscent of ‘Project Fear’. Tory backbencher Craig Mackinlay accused ministers of managing to find a ‘new twist’ in Britain’s crisis whenever hopes are raised that lockdown could be eased.

This is what these charlatans have been doing since last March and people are only just noticing. Given that their project fear has worked pretty well so far, why would the need something as grubby as evidence? They’ve managed perfectly well without it so far.

Making stuff up is what these two have been doing for the best part of a year now. They are intoxicated with their own lies, fabrications and wild exaggerations. What has changed here?

If you read the article, even the WHO is sceptical. That’s how far off the scale these two clowns have gone.

  1. Misconduct in a public office is an offence punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/misconduct-public-office

    The offence is committed when:
    – a public officer acting as such;
    – wilfully neglects to perform his duty and/or wilfully misconducts himself;
    – to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder;
    – without reasonable excuse or justification.

    IANAL but sounds bang on to me. Alas (real) justice will, no doubt, not be served, but I can dream.

      Their rewards shall be as normal, they shall have gongs: peerages, knighthoods and Nobel Peace Prizes all round. Even that nice Mr Ferguson’s bit on the side will get something.

  2. Why would they change their story now? Whenever the R rate or whatever measure they choose goes one way, they claim the credit. If it goes in the wrong direction, they blame the public for not following their rules strictly enough. Whitty and Valance have to double down on their position, as they lack the courage to change course and admit there might be another way.

  3. Trouble with the truth is that it’s always there, eventually the whole shit show is gonna go boom. Everyone’s had enough. The party’s over, time to get back to work.

  4. (T)he Kent coronavirus variant could be up to 40 per cent deadlier

    It COULD also make your teeth turn pink, your eyebrows dance a Rumba and then fall out and make you snore a Sousa march in your sleep. It MAY also turn your skin sky blue pink with tartan spots and expose you to galloping skin cancer and haemorrhoids if you stand within 10 feet of a lighted candle. So wear that mask and “antisocially” distance until the government plays its Simon Says games and changes the rules. Again.

    There. As “Scientific” as the original statement with enough “could’s”, “may’s” and other get out of jail free clauses to cover any eventuality. Poe’s law is kicking in big style.

  5. Part of the problem is that the vast majority of people don’t actually know what “science” is. The actual definition of the scientific method was never taught to me in school, I learned it from reading in later life. People seem to think that anyone with wild hair and a white coat must be speaking the unvarnished truth because science. I suspect that those within the government are even less informed than the average joe in the street.

  6. The WHO is saying PCRs are oversensitive, yank press and yank politicians are loosening the corona-fear now Bidet is in. UK pond scum haven’t finished profiting off it
    So Tony Blair is out trying to get the bought vaccine used and a second dose needed for profit. Blojo is in on it or too blackmailable to stop it.
