Brendan O’Neill: Government has ‘chosen’ statistics to ‘terrorise us into obedience’
Columnist Brendan O’Neill has strongly criticised the government’s second national lockdown for England, describing it as a “disaster”.
“Those statistics that Boris Johnson used at Downing Street, we know that many of them are already out of date and the newest statistics are far more optimistic.
“They’ve obviously chosen particular numbers to try and terrorise us into obedience – that is not how you should treat your citizens.”
