IMHO i feel the Covid enquiry deserves its own thread expecially as reports emerging this evening seem to indicate that the government had what amounts to a censorship squad with the main aim to stiffle debate on the Pandemic and how best to tackle the threat of Covid.
While the Government led by Boris Johnston will be the main target, the other political parties and Science / health experts share responsibility in that there were very few MP's / experts questioning the Governments lock down approach. In fact there was pressure from some of the opposition & experts for tougher lockdowns. The majority of policies introduced by the Government were in the main accepted by Parliament without much question and no or very little debate.
Two questions need to be addressed 1. Did the government handle the Pandemic in a way that protected the country not just from Covid but from the economic and social fall out after the Pandemic. 2. Was democrocy and freedom protected during the Pandemic and what safeguards do we need to protect democracy and freedom of speech in future national emergencies.
