exactly...they will have shit loads of stuff to go through, why it's taking so long I guess...and does need to be done properly, not by Oakeshott and Telegraph.

telegraph have had a big team working on the msgs for many months already, that they were working on something big has been widely known for months.

I just don't think it should be coming from any media outlet if there is an inquiry going on...could distort public opinion unfairly.

i'd of course prefer the msgs came out via a more-neural source, but its a good thing the msgs are  public. we'd know and hear less about them if via the enquiry.

yeah, but a lot is just hancock snogging his girlfriend stuff...do we need to know about that?

I think the telegraph will be pushing the line that we had rules imposed on us without scientific evidence...

[steviewevie]

because of course science behind things like rule of 6 are going to be vague...but they had to try and restrict big gathering, so I guess just picked a number that seemed reasonable. These decisions are never going to be backed by hard science...obviously if really followed the science we'd stick everyone in a separate air locked cell for 3 months...and kill all the cats...

Waiting for someone to do a hilarious edit of that

They say in a democracy you get the politicians you deserve. Politian's that were doing things were going up in the polls, There didn't have to be any scientific evidence behind it.

The stuff like masking kids and not wanting to pick a fight with Sturgeon, because Scotland did it, we had to. It was one great experiment into how mob mentality fed by fear spirals into hysteria.

Do they have the same issues with Speakers having political backgrounds or is it just Sue Gray who is now “clearly biased” after being praised throughout the investigation?

These leaks are getting better day by day.

Selective publishing of studies pushing only the most pessimistic ones.

masks brought in for their visual impact and to create a fear/guilt factor for everyone.
