Did Johnson play the left by ‘pretending’ he didn’t want a lockdown so it could get public support?
The dominant narrative is that Bojo, the hapless ‘clown’ and his Keystone Cops Cabinet were pushed into lockdown. Pushed by public opinion. Pushed by the ‘experts’. Pushed by the Premier League. Pushed by the ‘Left’. Pushed by Piers Morgan. Pushed by ‘Professor Doom’ Neil Ferguson and his ludicrous ‘modelling’.
But if they had already arranged a £119m lockdown advertising campaign, which referenced emergency economic measures in
its communication strategy, it would mean the decision to lockdown had already been taken many weeks earlier.
