TFK Charles Walker/ Micheal McNamara/Verona Murphy Appreciation Society

"My second lesson would be that governments dealing with scientific issues should not allow themselves to be influenced by a single caucus of scientists. They should always test what they are being told in a way that, for instance, judges test expert opinion by producing a counter expert, and working out which set of views stacks up best.”

This is the biggest error. Not only have the government and media ignored the alternate voice, they have actively tried to suppress it. Democracy it is not.

We are reverting back to the selfish species we were before a brief dalliance with democracy and freedom. Mind you in the 150 years of democracy he referenced we still managed to make war and slaughter millions. Maybe democracy is an illusion.

I heard this. Lord Sumption is the most elequent and accurate speaker on the lockdown and pandemic in general I have heard from any side. I found his thoughts on the medias role here particulary insightful
