Fozziebear17 Wow those scientists are clever they can see into the future

See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News MattHancock BorisJohnson Coronavirus Lockdown NHS

The self-styled 'well-renowned & respected' Matt Hancock disputes claims of a real expert scientist. Hmmm, who to believe 🤔

And we're here! We have Dominic Cummings as our shining beacon!

GCSE science does not make Matt Hancock able to debate real scientists

Science is EVIL!! GO BACK TO SLEEP 🇬🇧

MattHancock is not following the science. Never has.

(Edmunds)he wished that we had locked down earlier. Do you agree with that” Matt Hancock “No I think we took the right decisions at the right time'A Campbell.'When Johnson was shaking hands in hospital and urging people to go to racing and football, Albania was in total lockdown'

Fake news. The scientist is not saying the government ignored calls for an early lockdown. He’s saying he regrets not calling for one sooner.

Obv the other 99 scientists didn’t agree🥱🥱🥱

puppetJohnson liarliar Your credibility is zero, completely shot to pieces. Forget it - nobody is listening to this broken, chaotic government notmovingonuntildomisgone NotMovingOnTilDomIsGone. ledbydonkeys 1millionPeopleAreNotWrong

Matt knows better than someone trained in science? Oh that’s right he went to Eton

He also thinks 50,000+ people died with their families as he mourned with them

So the only people REALLY following the science are the civil service;

Lockdown is costing lives. Stick that in your 'excess deaths' statistics and smoke it. .afneil

‘We took the right decisions at the time’..... the highest death rate in Europe suggests otherwise......

When the Airplanes stopped flying back and forth to China, I was pretty sure the Virus was stopped in it's tracks. Then Europe with Italy showed up and Italy is big around here. So Italy got closed. The WORD shutdown was for airports, not people. It was twisted by Fausi. Oh well.

Ah yeah, Matt Hancock who's famous for his science knowledge

Matt Hancock is world beating when it comes to incompetence, lies and deceit. Well done. 👏👏👏 StayElite

A blind man can see it cost many lives.

Scientists what do they know 🤬🤬🤬😘

Are you sure? I'm sure I just heard him say on Andrew Marr, that he follows the science...the weasel...😆

They’ve followed the science, except when they haven’t. 🤷‍♂️

Boris has lost control of his government. It's down to cummings he got away with it for going to Durham.

Calls for local lockdowns as study finds R value above 1 in north-west EnglandMatt Hancock defends easing of lockdown as regional leaders say they fear second spike in deaths For those who don't know the R value is the amount of infection present in society which guides the Tories on the death count they're looking to achieve. You're Welcome! R going up before relaxing of lockdown. Govt said they wouldn’t relax lockdown while at level 4; where still at level 4. No wonder they can’t get govt scientists to stand next to them as they spin the stats. Now I know where all the toilet paper has gone; to wipe govt ar*es Your rag reporting this is a joke... You are the ones promoting self loathing a Woke agenda & the spread of the virus in London...
