Prof. Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer perhaps now unencumbered with the trial of having to stand next to some witless government minister in a daily propaganda exercise has warned of dark days ahead, with winter appearing on the horizon. I think this time round he’s getting his oar in first and though I’m sure he wouldn’t say it, he would nevertheless like to be in a position to say ‘I told you so.’ Watching his earlier performances at the somewhat pointless No.10 briefings I formed the view that he didn’t really understand what was going on, i.e. as somebody once said in a previous high profile case of government mendacity, he was being used as ‘chaff.’ Some distance now has to be put between ‘The Science’ and what ministers loosely claim they are following. The message needs go out that The Science doesn’t have a miracle cure, still less ministers. But it’s our democratic right to believe what we want and the Conservatives still lead in the polls. Thank God there’s an alternative. Answers on a postcard please.
