The UK government core strategy of briefing papers a couple of days before announcing anything to see how they spin it once again being trotted out, we see.
What a shoddy way to run a country.
They don& #39;t respect us enough to just tell us what they plan to do; it& #39;s all furtive little whispers from "anonymous sources" so they can gauge how much damage it& #39;ll do to them electorally before they commit to a course of action.
A cowardly, deceitful tactic from a bunch of chancers with the all the moral fortitude of a faded crisp packet in a gutter.
These are people& #39;s lives. We& #39;re dealing with a natural disaster of unparalleled magnitude and reach, and to them it& #39;s a PR crisis. Their only concern is managing the optics.
People need to know what their future holds. Now, this pandemic is a constantly evolving situation, and uncertainty is par for the course, but that& #39;s all the more reason to *keep everyone informed*.
We cannot see what 2021 will hold. We can& #39;t even see what December will hold. But it would be handy to have some sort of notion what the next few *weeks* might hold, which the government apparently do, but won& #39;t tell us to our faces.
How is anyone supposed to plan their lives? How can they ask businesses to "prepare for Brexit" when it& #39;s not even clear whether they& #39;ll even be able to *operate* for half of the time remaining until the deadline?
