EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL

THE Government’s new ‘Look him in the eyes – and tell him the risk isn’t real’ campaign makes anyone questioning the efficacy of lockdown feel like a worm. But you could easily substitute that patient in a mask for a schoolboy, and caption it: ‘Look him in the eyes – and tell him his future doesn’t matter.’ Or a cancer patient: ‘Look her in the eyes – and tell her that lump isn’t real.’ Covid isn’t the only thing killing people in Britain today. No amount of Government-funded emotional blackmail is going to change that.
