The pressure on Boris Johnson to sanction Dominic Cummings is already being ratcheted up after a member of the government’s advisory group on behavioural science told morning TV that said the “debacle” has “fatally undermined” efforts to fight coronavirus.
Prof Stephen Reicher told Good Morning Britain:
If you look at the research it shows the reason why people observed lockdown was not for themselves, it wasn’t because they were personally at risk, they did it for the community, they did it because of a sense of ‘we’re all in this together’.
If you give the impression there’s one rule for them and one rule for us you fatally undermine that sense of ‘we’re all in this together’ and you undermine adherence to the forms of behaviour which have got us through this crisis.”
I argued that Johnson’s defence of Cummings had broken the unity of the nation and trashed the idea that ‘we are all in this together’.
My apologies
I was wrong.
He has united the Daily Mail, the bishops, and the Guardian.
All together against him.
Sheer political genius. https://t.co/MnYAbdFDhA
