1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,319
Dominic Cummings and that and he has

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,839
been hypocritical and he has floated his

3
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:08,280
own regulations but but it is a

4
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:09,900
distraction the mother of all

5
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,809
distractions if you like from the really

6
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:14,370
the real essence of the matter is what

7
00:00:12,809 --> 00:00:16,350
with the government provision what was

8
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:18,060
the underlying ethos and it's quite

9
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:20,160
clear what needed to be done in terms of

10
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:22,529
the public health measures those lessons

11
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,740
were available from China from Korea

12
00:00:22,529 --> 00:00:27,390
from Vietnam from other countries what

13
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:29,279
our government did was not guided by

14
00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:31,050
medical science and the scientists are

15
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:34,829
increasingly making it clear that it was

16
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:36,450
contrary to their advice it was guided

17
00:00:34,829 --> 00:00:39,300
by the economics and particularly the

18
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:42,140
less a fair economics and to an extent

19
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:45,780
the philosophy the Malthusian philosophy

20
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:49,530
by which they felt it was not worth the

21
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:52,140
economic cost to intervene to save the

22
00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:54,329
lives of people from whom they made no

23
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,699
money and that is the bottom line and

24
00:00:54,329 --> 00:00:59,370
there is no more and more ways in which

25
00:00:56,699 --> 00:01:01,800
that fundamental narrative can be

26
00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:03,870
verified both from people who you know

27
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,420
expose the words of Dominic Cummings at

28
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:09,600
the time that we should protect the

29
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:12,240
economy that we should allow it to run

30
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,150
through the community and look for herd

31
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,100
immunity and if a few pensioners died so

32
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:18,600
be it - Boris Johnson saying we just got

33
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:20,009
to take it on the chin and now

34
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,840
increasingly to the scientists saying

35
00:01:20,009 --> 00:01:23,640
that there was inactivity despite their

36
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,400
advice that it's quite clear that we'd

37
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,350
be looking at many many probably perhaps

38
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,700
hundreds of thousands of deaths and of

39
00:01:28,350 --> 00:01:31,710
course we may still be looking at that

40
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:34,079
scenario because if you do look at the

41
00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:35,850
figures based upon excess mortality and

42
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,380
this is only the first bike and we don't

43
00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:39,509
know yet what the second spike is but

44
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:41,700
it's clear that there are more people

45
00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:44,850
sadly who have died of the virus this

46
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:46,829
Sunday than last Sunday with the easing

47
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:49,350
of the restriction so not absolutely

48
00:01:46,829 --> 00:01:51,780
clear that we are looking at the dying

49
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:54,450
away with fading away of this problem

50
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:56,630
and it's clear that from excess

51
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:58,710
mortality already there probably around

52
00:01:56,630 --> 00:02:01,409
60,000 or more people have died in

53
00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:03,240
Britain across all environments and this

54
00:02:01,409 --> 00:02:06,659
may just be and I really hope it's not

55
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,300
in no way do I want to be vindicated you

56
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:10,619
know I want us to get past this but it

57
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:11,630
may be that this is still the beginning
