“What we are seeing is a decision by the government to get as many people
infected as possible, as quickly as possible,
while using rhetoric about caution as a way of putting the blame on the public
for the consequences...”
- Prof Robert West, health psychologist, University College, London

"extremist individualism … an ideology that claims to be about freedom when
really it means selfishness”.
