DCJonah Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well they had their chance and bottled it. That's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the guy in the middle, whoever it is, squirming plenty of times because of what Whitty is saying. I bet if he wasn't there Boris would have let them answer. The only reason Boris wouldn't let them answer is because he knows they'd disagree with him. He has nothing to lose if he knows they'll agree with him.

I don’t know what I expected to be honest, but this is a pretty incredible thing to watch. lost a bit of respect for PV/CW to be honest. They must have known they’d be asked, so if you had the minerals, you’d tell the PM you want to answer the questions honestly, or get someone else in to do it.

But it's easy for us to say. Standing next to the PM after he has, presumably, forbidden you to answer questions on the matter is another matter.

DCJonah Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 So they literally ignored questions. Didn't say they wouldn't answer or repeat bullshit, just completely ignored it and then moved on. I don't think I've seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldnt wait to get out of there and the other two were certainly very diplomatic but reading between the lines they didnt seem happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the whole thing but Boris wasn't letting anyone come back for a second question or a clarification.

wilko154 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think they have made an error of judgement here for two reasons: a) Making the announcement on Thursday evening ahead of a weekend of sunshine means the new rules will effectively start tomorrow for most households. b) Why go all the way up-to 6 people from 6 households so quickly? It's going to be exploited by people meeting up with 6 households with multiple people from each. It makes it much harder to police. Personally would have waited to make a change until 15th June when even more people are back at work and off furlough. Plus would have began by making it 4 people, 4 households with an announcement on a Sunday night so people ease into it over the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not even that big. Our local care home they are now finally running tests. But starting with the residents?? Is it not the staff who should be tested first as they are the ones who would spread it, not the residents who have been locked down for 8 weeks.

I've resigned a role for a lesser reason than being compelled to lie to the nation. They have absolutely no integrity. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but the Government are fighting a losing battle with lockdown measures at the minute. People who want to meet up will meet and that has been the way for a few weeks now. The weather hasn't helped... if it had been winter, I think people would have abided by the advice more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is they surely knew they’d be asked about Cummings, there was no way they could have thought otherwise? I’d like to think in that position I’d have said to Boris - you either let me answer the questions honestly, from a science/medical POV only, or you get someone else to stand up there until it’s blown over. It was all just weird and embarrassing for all involved imo. Edited May 28, 2020 by wazzap24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
