Libertarians dangerous logic:
- Less government intervention: only offers 'guidance'
- Because guidance is brilliantly written, people need no explanation & can use common sense
- As people can use common sense, government doesn't need scrutiny: no press conf = no questions https://twitter.com/ProfTonyDavid/status/1275428525126885381
- No large & irresponsible gatherings
- So police could break up large & irresponsible gatherings
- But because people use their common sense, they shouldn't be policed because it is their right to be in large gatherings & act irresponsibly if they wish to https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1275463804302786562?s=20
- We're moving from 2-metre to 1-metre
- But not any ordinary 1-metre, it's actually 1-metre PLUS
- Advice is still to stay at 2 metres when you CAN stay at 2 metres
- But people understand we move to 1 metre with mitigations, which is clear & common sense https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1275466835702550528
Until he finds daily briefings necessary again, Boris Johnson:
- trusts British public (in England) uses common sense to STAY ALERT
- believes 1-metre PLUS will CONTROL THE VIRUS
- banks on people using common sense to go shopping, pubs, cinemas, bingos, travel... yet SAVE LIVES
