Follow the science

Follow the science is the new post Brexit mantra.

It allows the Government appear to not need to make a decision.

This is of course wrong.

Only religious fundamentalists and Brexiteers believe in absolutes. Science everything is a theory.

There is not a "clear" science saying the UK should or shouldn't do this or that. Science will say many things, it is up to Government to listen to all spectrums and decide what to do. In listening to some science, the wrong path could be chosen.

But they won't tell us what science it is they are following. Could be astronomy for all we know. Nor will they tell us who sits of the SAGE committee. But yesterday, it emerged that Johnson's chief advisor and nerd, Dominic Cummings sits on the committee and is allowed to ask questions. Politicians representing Scotland and Wales can attend but not take part.

"The science" will be thrown under the bus when the blame is ready to be shared out. The science than the scientists who secretly, at the moment, advise the Government. Johnson, Gove, Raab et al will hide behind this, and throw the scientists to the lions. Look at it as "nerd immunity" if you will.

People have had enough of experts, but not when you can hide behind them to shield you from the angry mob which will be coming.

Over 41,000 people have died in the UK, second behind the US where you have a Moron in Chief who seems to want to kill as many Americans as possible, apparently so he can blame the State Governors he doesn't like or who he thinks have slighted him. That's a pretty low bar to get over to be honest.
