The latest salvo in the "common sense" bullshit-get-out-clause, which the Tories always mobilise to avoid taking responsibility or being held accountable.

The last time Boris Johnson spouted this shit & it was splashed on the front pages was in may 2020, & that went REALLY well.

People who say "just use your common sense":

Julia Hartley-Brewer
Iain Duncan Smith
Jacob Rees-Mogg
Isabel Oakeshott
Allison Pearson
Boris Johnson
Michael Gove
Laurence Fox
Nigel Farage
Toby Young
Claire Fox

People who think that's dumb:

Albert Einstein
Antonio Gramsci

"Common sense" is a myth. The Tories' "common sense" call for #austerity has been revealed as a perverse & damaging ideological ploy.

We now know that cuts to public spending resulted in Britain being one of the most ill-prepared countries in the world to deal with #coronavirus.

The Tories' "Common Sense group" criticised the
@nationaltrust for publishing a report into slavery links at some of its country houses, using the antisemitic far-right terrorism-inspiring conspiracy of 'cultural Marxism' to accuse the Trust of an "anti-British" "woke” agenda!

There is no consensus about what "common sense" is, or means.

Seemingly innocent appeals to common sense often mask controversial ideas or viewpoints.

Asking the public to use their common sense is a very irresponsible thing for any politician to do. https://theconversation.com/why-boris-johnson-must-stop-talking-about-good-british-common-sense-141008?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20June%2018%202020%20-%201655215927&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20June%2018%202020%20-%201655215927+CID_c4dd927e96b9130698f079ba0dd1fc4a&utm_source=campaign_monitor_uk&utm_term=just%20common%20sense

Common sense is not always “common,” nor “sensible.”

What's the 'common sense' over Brexit? What's the 'common sense' solution to Boris Johnson relentlessly lying to voters?

When it comes to public health, 'common sense' is a dangerous thing to encourage.
