Surely there must be some media outlet that has the same question as a 68yr old bloke on a forum, or does every journalist, reporter and news program just decide to print/repeat what they're told 'because it's true, honest'?

Is journalism that 'dead' that nobody looks at a statement and questions its obvious lack of clarity?

The best I could find is from this Gov. Covid page from 4th Jan:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/p...sting-measures

. . . and that doesn't mention hospitals etc either, unless it's all 'wrapped up' in the 'critical national infrastructure' part?

and again, only 100,000 people?
You should have taken part in Johnson's Monday evening phone-in and asked the man himself. It would have been more relevant than The Sun's question about reducing VAT on energy.

However, Sky's running a live Q&A now until 7.30pm, so why not put your question to them here: https://news.sky.com/story/ask-a-que...l-now-12495443
