I agree about the media but it's the politicians also spouting this nonsense, I don't think it's right to lay the blame solely on the media. Johnson, Hancock, and Cummings are changing their story more often than I change my pants, they either need to reign it in or feck off.

Make a judgment call on the evidence that’s out in the public sphere and base the way you approach this accordingly. Or allow the media and state to control everything ?‍♂️. My choice is on the former. I don’t give a damn what any of them have done as individuals what I do care about is when politicians of any party or part of the UK are making decisions on police enforcement of totally unnecessary and unjustified mandatory instructions. Tactics like this are more suited to the likes of China and North Korea. 
My own view of today’s announcement by Sturgeon ref mandatory face covering after over 100 days is that it’s probably the most unjustified decision so far made during this whole charade.

Not that often, what do you think I am, posh?

Ha, more talk of control! 

People sitting at home, getting paid and not spending money in the high street is not the type of control governments want. They want you back in work and out spending money, if there is a lot of dead workers that doesn't happen.

 

In China life is cheap but they need a lot of people with their nose to the grindstone, hence the strict lockdowns to save lives.

Pure rubbish I’m afraid, before making this statement you obviously have not looked at the Scottish statistics and the political games being played by the SNP.

Enlighten me then. How does crashing the economy and causing very expensive long term health issues benefit the government at all? What are they controlling without mentioning vaccine, Bill Gates and microchip in the same sentence. 

I would really like to know what this control is, why are they doing it and how are they benefiting from it rather than send us all back to work, get taxed and spend our money to net more tax? Genuine question.

 

Every government is trying to control this new virus much to theirs and our expense except Brazil and the USA which seems to be going quite well eh.  If your numbers are that low then they must have done something right, just like New Zealand, until they let the Brits back in ?

More Rubbish 

Look at the statistics and facts, when the damage caused by the hysteria and over action start to put what the virus has caused into the shade then the last thing we need is more control of what you can and can’t do. Power as I’ve said is addictive hence the likes of Putin now wanting to change the system to allow him to stay. .its not my job to enlighten anyone, try looking at the real figures of what’s not happening in Scotland and then come back and tell me you think the level of government/police regulation and enforcement is justified. Never mind the political games being played with the economy and jobs etc.

Even Trump is saying when he gets his second term he could get the constitution changed to allow him more than two terms.
