Not wishing to get into a tennis match scenarioI've "herd" that they can't release the minutes of those meetings, as there'd then be no "immunity" from sealing their own fate.
Seriously, the herd immunity issue will out eventually. As you say, whether it was Whitty and Vallance pushing it, or whether it was an option that had to be put on the table, (with the intention of removing it as too abhorrent) and then Cummings wanted to run with it, (despite any advice to the contrary) then I guess we'll have to wait to find out.
I still remember Johnson's Phil and Holly interview where he very nearly found himself saying that we could just accept our fate ................. "take it on the chin". In fact, just to make sure I didn't misquote him, I searched for the clip .............. it has some other quite interesting snippets too.
1 min 20 secs - The great British public can handle the truth (but not with an exit plan apparently )
2 mins 20 secs - mild to moderate !
3 mins 10 secs - shaking hands
6 mins 25 secs - Take it on the chin ........... so so close.
I refer you to my post of 11.22am and rest - until the truth is confirmed via official publication.
