I still don't get the Islands approach to testing. I'm getting rather annoyed with them constantly repeating the "specific point in time" line. If you never test then you never have any point in time references. For want of a better expression, they become lost in their own bullshit. From the start (or at least from when Quayle recovered) it seems to have been marked by magical thinking: "If we test as few as possible, then we won't find any and that means it isn't there". It's like a small child thinking they're invisible if they shut their eyes really tight. It was then made worse by the row with Rachel Glover (which was triggered by this sort of attitude). The thinking seems to have now developed as: Rachel set up testing Rachel isn't our friend Therefore testing is a bad thing. Furthermore by insisting on charging for tests, they have now got it into their heads that doing more testing is somehow giving away for free something they should be charging for. So again tests are kept to a minimum because they're seen as valuable. One thing linking all this is a general tone which it would be unfair to describe as "childish" - unfair to most children that is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I would describe the press conference, especially the Paul Moulton questions bit as downright embarrassing, let alone inept in the extreme. They can't even get their act together to fudge the issue. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not being listened to. From speaking to a few acquaintances in the civil service this is quite a common theme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
