You think we are now living in an era where we are far more sensitive and aware and willing to question what we are reading or hearing then we were four or five years ago? i we were four or five years ago? i think we are certainly in an era where there is a huge amount of disinformation of where you get confirmation bars everywhere you look confirmation bars everywhere you took across — confirmation bars everywhere you look across social media. if it so happens — look across social media. if...

Got together but the public might take a dimmer view if it was through the prime minister himself was involved in the third thing which is a bit of a clincher and makes it difficult fidelity to get over this problem is what you were just talking about. what has happened. introducing new restrictions to try to stem the spread of covid and you get lockdown sceptic saying, well, why should it be new rules when the prime minister wont do it? and you have supporters saying the events of the last few ...

Like mask wearing or something much more serious like grandparents not being able to see the grandchildren or saying its illegal to have a sexual relationship with somebody outside your own household, this is going way further than the anything east german stasi ever imposed and i think we have to think about this very carefully. im not a covid sceptic and im not even perhaps a lockdown sceptic, this is a tremendous unprecedented move to limit civil liberties and make them contingent on governme...

Unfortunate memories of some i unfortunate memories of some pretty hideous persecution of minorities in those countries in the past but i think theres an even larger and wider question here and that is seem to have accepted in western democracies that the freedoms and the personal liberties that we have all taken for granted as part of our sort of constitutional heritage are conditional. that governments can take them away. being complicit with this by choice is one thing, that is a perfectly ad...

I think we have to think. about this very carefully. im not a covid—19 sceptic and not even a lockdown sceptic, - but this is a tremendous, - unprecedented move to limit civil liberties and make them contingent on government permission- that the interference in - personal life and family life, even among social events among friends, it is quite extraordinary. | and i think we have now set this precedent and its - very hard to reverse. when does this end? viruses mutate all the time. wherever t...

Of different abuses, _ if not all of them, i and nothings getting done and theyre just... yeah, its like - the lost generation. if they had structured courses. that were going to set them up and going to give them some i tools to survive and go forward and grow and, you know, l make their lives positive... i was nearly dead and ive turned my life around. . and im never looking back. now, will mps need vaccine passports to go to work in the commons? from september, anyone who wants to go clubbing...

Sceptic. but of course is remembering that the number one lockdown sceptic if the prime minister, borisjohnson, so he got the biggest voice. i think the short answer to your question is i it changes things very much. i think this is a government that is absolutely determined, if it actually can come if nothing really weird happens in the next few weeks can be determined to ease those lock downs, the final lockdown on july the 19th and whether it was still matt hancock they are or sajid javid or ...

Roles, one was to write the rules for these restrictions are to sit around the table and determine how far you could go and the second one was to convince the public. matt hancock no longer has the authority, but on the first, he was considered a lockdown dive in cabinet. is understood that borisjohnson is quite the opposite, he was not a fan of restriction so in many ways, matt hancock was one of people pushing for more protections for the health services and more restrictions for the public. m...

It is so relevant right now. yes, absolutely, and i think, by the way, that the focus will move on quite quickly to those rules. i suspect that matt hancock is going to end up as an extremely tiny footnote in british political history. the real focus will be now on what do they do about the rules? we know that boris johnson is a lockdown sceptic, he would absolutely love to end restrictions on july the 19th. will they? who knows? matt hancock was appointed health secretary in 2018, leading the g...
