What is fanciful is the idea that the Chief Medical Officer, or Chief Scientific Adviser, could or would go public and make statements that actively contradict Government policy as agreed by Ministers.

You are greatly over-complicating the situation to allow yourself to claim that the Government have been blameless at all times. Over lockdowns, PPE, billions for Dido Harding’s non-functioning contract tracing... always someone else to blame.
I think the government has been careful in its decision making. With hindsight, different decisions could have been made at times, but you could say that of other governments over the world.

This was a unique situation and we were dealing with the unknown. It’s all very well slagging off the government no matter what it does from the comfort of your own armchair, but I shudder to think about what a pig’s ear the other lot would have made of it. Captain Hindsight would have been facing the wrong direction throughout. Corbyn would have consulted Hamas.

At least this government has been decisive, and they have certainly come up trumps with vaccine procurement and the subsequent action to ensure prompt vaccination of the population.

Meanwhile, EU deaths are set to escalate with the start of a new wave that their population is fully exposed to.
