I guess better late than never.
Furious MPs today slammed No10’s for its ‘despicable’ reliance on ‘hysterical’ Covid models that have repeatedly sent the nation into lockdown.
In a heated Westminster Hall discussion about Covid, Conservative Bob Seely called for a debate on scientific modelling during the pandemic, in which he accused forecasters of wildly inaccurate predictions.
Echoing Winston Churchill, Mr Seely said of the modelling: ‘Never before has so much harm been done to so many by so few.’
He slammed SAGE epidemiologist Professor Ferguson for producing ‘doomsday scenarios’ that were proven wrong time and time again.
Some of us have been saying this since it all started. Some of us have been aware of Ferguson’s propensity for hysterical over reaction and wildly inaccurate modelling going back two decades. Now people are waking up to the damage these charlatans have caused. What is needed is rope, lampposts and heads on spikes outside the Palace of Westminster. These people are vile, evil, self-serving charlatans and need to pay a heavy price for their crimes against us and we need to go medieval on every one of them.
Professor Ferguson’s prediction of 500,000 people dying if nothing was done to curb the virus’ spread is widely credited with spooking Boris Johnson into announcing the first lockdown in March 2020.
This was obvious bollocks even without the subsequent events. And we sceptics were right. I always knew that our scepticism would be vindicated. Not that it gives me any great satisfaction given the massive damage caused.
Mr Seely argued this prediction followed a long line of inaccurate models produced by Imperial College London — where Professor Ferguson works — that have caused radical policies, starting with the mass culling of millions of animals during the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in 2001.
This is what makes it criminal. All of the warnings were there. If I could see it, then why couldn’t the government? Why did they repeatedly go back to these mountebanks time and time again? And why is Ferguson still in his job and not flipping burgers in the local fast food joint?
He was joined by the Covid Recovery Group deputy chair Steve Baker, who accused modellers of bouncing No10 into restrictions throughout the pandemic.
But the debate erupted when SNP MP Brendan O’Hara accused the politicians of not wearing face masks in the hall and MPs were told to calm down during an angry shouting match.
FFS! There are still cretins trying to keep the narrative going. None of it has worked. Not lockdowns, not the anti-social distancing and not the stupid, pointless, idiotic moron masks. But still, even now, we have brain dead halfwits insisting that people wear the bloody things.
He cited experts in Sweden who described the modelling as ‘almost hysterical’.
Not ‘almost,’ they were hysterical. So, when do we get to string these bastards up?
If I could see it, then why couldn’t the government?
Cowardice.
These people are cowards.
Plain and simple.
They’re worried because they’re thinking about what a future enquiry will say, along the lines of “why didn’t you take the safest option?”
And instead of “we had to balance the risk against other costs.” They’re unable to come up with another answer. They just want to be lauded with taking the safest options.
Cowardice.
Unfortunately, it’s far too common these days. In all walks of life.
The other day we had a call, I work in maintenance, right at the end of the shift. Client wanted us to disable a guard interlock to allow some machining because a design change meant a clash meaning the guard couldn’t close. We, on our shift we ok, happy to do it as long as we stay there to monitor. The next shift all wanted loads of paper work and writing to cover in case things went wrong.
Nothing would have happened. Nobody would have been hurt. It’s just arse covering cowardice.
Where did our balls go as a nation? There’s a few here and there who still have some. But they seem fewer and further between every day.
Blame ambulance-chasing lawyers
Look at the inquests and reviews and apologies for lawful actions that don’t pass muster in today’s more ‘enlightened’ times.
That’s the reason for the excess of caution that paralyses us all now.
When all you have is a hammer, everything has to look like a nail. Which is how government work all over the world.
Only Trump had the balls to tell that circus to do one.
That said, MPs voted as one for all those lockdowns so I for one would love to see them being medievaled as well…
Yeah, I haven’t forgotten that. They should have been voting against from the off.
And why is Ferguson still in his job and not flipping burgers in the local fast food joint?
Do you want lies with that?
Oh, very good.
“SNP MP Brendan O’Hara”
… as my dad used to say, good Scotch name…
“accused the politicians of not wearing face masks in the hall”
Oh, sod off. Even il Commendatore Fauci’s beginning to crack on that garbage.
Lets go Brendan…
This self preservation of the just in case type suggests we should trigger the nearest fire extinguisher because a fire might break out.
The sound of back pedalling MPs trying to get ahead of the derailing narrative is deafening.
Farage gives the actual death figures
