Wallman& #39;s great etc but I keep seeing this sentiment. I& #39;m not sure I& #39;ve seen marketing/ad people saying they think they& #39;ve solved the problem.

And they mostly been https://twitter.com/Dr_Draper/status/1245882431229407233">https://twitter.com/Dr_Draper...
absolutely right to do so. There was quite broad scientific consensus about the threat of this in February. Clearly choices were made. You can argue that people can& #39;t quite understand everything put in front of a PM& #39;s face and, oh! the difficult decisions he/she must make!. Fine
But it& #39;s *entirely* acceptable to pipe up that when a government is shifting position more towards something that was an entirely predictable position, or contradicting itself, or shadow briefing, or having failed to adequately fund the healthcare system, now creaking etc
And it& #39;s a damned duty. The throngs of Iamsosmart contrarians calling people morons, dumb, dangerous etc haven& #39;t piped up for a fucking second about swingeing powers being granted to executives across the world, government responsibility for causing this mess or how to
communicate effectively. State a bloody position beyond & #39;oh, I think people are doing Reddit epidemiology& #39; when *clearly* the majority of noise has been *absolutely justified* criticism of the government.
