Dominic Cummings is working on it as we write. 'POLITICO reports that Downing Street have resorted to Vote Leave tactics to win “hearts and minds”, with aides receiving “near-daily updates” on the public mood gathered from focus group research. The operation is an approach typical of a Dominic Cummings operation, who once headed the pro-Brexit campaign but now operates as Boris Johnson’s key adviser. “The internal polling is pretty extensive every day,” an official told the publication. “We get an overnight breakdown of surveys of 2,000 adults. We get stats on how worried people are, people’s perceptions of risk, whether they feel they’re being served by government information, whether we’ve got the balance right between the economy and healthcare, polling on people’s finances, thoughts on the NHS, about social distancing, businesses, workplace, face masks.” It has been what has led the Tories to move from a “stay at home” order to a more libertarian “stay alert” and use “common sense” message.' https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/dominic-cummings-vote-leave-coronavirus-lockdown-1-6650694 Half an hour in a queue at a garden centre earlier just to get a few packets of seeds*. Yards of that red and white plastic tape to keep us under control in a zig zag queue and bank card payments only. What a load of nonsense. (*Broad bean and runner bean seeds cost £3.60 a packet! A 2 ltr bottle of milk has risen in price from £1.10 to £1.50. A very few items in the Co Op yesterday cost over £20 and there was no meat or fish in the shopping just basics.) |
