UK Pushed 'Fear' on Lockdowns
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/united-kingdom-covid19-lockdowns/2023/03/05/id/1111175/
The British government pushed "fear tactics" to ensure people comply with COVID-19 lockdowns. In a report published by The Telegraph, the British publication outlines that among some 100,000 WhatsApp messages it obtained from British ministers, officials, and others, one set of messages showed former British Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who served from 2018 to 2021, suggesting he wanted to "deploy" a new COVID-19 variant to "frighten the pants off" the public into complying with lockdowns. In December 2020, two days after being informed of the emergence of a new variant known as the alpha or Kent variant, Hancock suggested in a WhatsApp conversation that the new strain would be helpful in preparing the ground for a looming lockdown by scaring people into compliance. Hancock's media adviser, Damon Poole, suggested that they could "roll pitch with the new strain" to prepare the ground for tougher restrictions in the run-up to Christmas 2020. Hancock replied, "We frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain." Poole responded, "Yep that's what will get proper behavior change."
The leak of the WhatsApp messages, known as the "Lockdown Files," also revealed that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was wavering between being either a lockdown skeptic or a proponent but nonetheless was aware of his government's efforts to scare the public. "What's the data like today? Tory narrative that we panicked too soon etc.," Johnson wrote two days after the United Kingdom's second national lockdown in November 2020. The Telegraph notes in their report that psychologists were warning that the government's use of alleged "fear tactics" in health campaigns were "grossly unethical," which would contribute to excess non-COVID-19 deaths and increase anxiety disorders.
And in January 2021, Simon Case, the cabinet secretary, alongside Hancock, suggested that the "fear/guilt factor" would be "vital" in encouraging compliance with pandemic protocols. The two politicians weighed different options, including mandating "more mask wearing … in all settings outside home." "Basically, we need to get compliance up," Case said. The cabinet secretary then noted that the fear campaign had to be tactful because adding some measures, such as a ban on fishing, "will be parodied galore if it looks like we have suddenly decided fishing is the first step towards tier 5!" "I honestly wouldn't move on any small things unless we move on a lot," Hancock replied. "The only big remaining … things are nurseries and workplaces." "I agree," Case responded. "I think that is exactly right. Small stuff looks ridiculous. Ramping up messaging — the fear/guilt factor vital." The cabinet secretary then proposed that a "big public moment" would be to reopen the Nightingale hospital in London as an overflow facility for non-COVID-19 patients. But in reality, only a few such patients were ever admitted.
‘I take that back’: Lawyer apologizes for furious rant after GB News reveals he was asked to represent Hancock
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/gn-news-matt-hancock-jonathan-coad-lawyer-b2294682.html
A lawyer has apologized for a furious rant on GB News after a presenter revealed he was asked to act for Matt Hancock over the leak of thousands of his WhatsApp messages during the pandemic. Jonathan Coad appeared on GB News on Sunday night, when host Steve N Allen introduced the lawyer as having been asked to represent the former health secretary over the leak by journalist Isabel Oakeshott. The lawyer quickly expressed anger at Mr Allen revealing he was asked to act for Mr Hancock, saying: “I made it absolutely clear to your program, I asked them not to disclose that.
“That is very, very poor journalism.” Mr Coad added: “When your own television station has engaged in correspondence with me where I explained that I’m in a position to be able to comment on this and mentioned I’d been approached by Matt Hancock - I asked you not to mention that and you mentioned it.
Pandemic Diaries The inside story of Britain’s battle against Covid
By Matt Hancock and Isabel Oakeshott
When Covid-19 swept the world, governments scrambled to protect their citizens and chart a course back to normality. As Health Secretary, Matt Hancock was at the forefront of Britain’s battle against the virus, trying to steer the country through the crisis in a world where information was scarce, judgements huge and the roadmap non-existent. Drawing on a wealth of never-before-seen material, including official records, his notes at the time and communications with all the key players in Britain’s Covid-19 story, this candid account reveals the inner workings of government during a time of national crisis, reflecting on both the successes and the failures. Recounting the most important decisions in the race to develop a vaccine in record time and to build a nationwide testing capacity from the ground up, Pandemic Diaries provides the definitive account of Britain’s battle to turn the tide against Covid-19. Crucially, it also offers an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn to be prepared for next time because there will be a next time.

Guise, this woman Isabel Oakeshott looked this stuff over and decided she couldn't be a part of it. Indeed they're turning on each other. This is lib on lib violence but nonetheless if this woman is above board and this isn't some psyop, then Isabell is a pretty brave woman.
Police and travel industry react angrily to Matt Hancock lockdown texts
Messages show Hancock urging ministers to ‘get heavy’ with police and making light of hotel quarantine situation
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/mar/03/uk-ministers-did-not-understand-their-own-covid-rules-says-ex-police-chief
Ministers have come under fire from police officers and the travel industry after private messages from Matt Hancock highlighted the rapid and occasionally haphazard way in which they wrote Covid lockdown policies. Senior representatives of the police service attacked the government’s handling of the pandemic after the Telegraph published messages showing the former health secretary urging ministers to “get heavy with the police” over lockdown enforcement. Officers were criticised in 2020 and 2021 for their hardline interpretation of the regulations, which involved them monitoring people with drones, fining people going for walks with cups of coffee and handing out leaflets asking why people were outside. The former chief constable of Greater Manchester police Sir Peter Fahy told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday: “This [lockdown] legislation was rushed out: it was confused, with poor definitions in it, there was this constant confusion between what was legislation and what was guidance. Often it seemed ministers themselves didn’t understand the impact of the legislation.” He said it caused “huge resentment within policing” when “individual instances of officers trying to do their best were highlighted and misunderstood”. The chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Martin Hewitt, criticised Hancock’s use of the word “plod” in the messages, saying it was “much more a reflection on him than it is on the committed police officers and staff on the frontline protecting the country from Covid-19”. Hancock also came under fire from Willie Walsh, the head of the travel industry body Iata, for another set of messages that showed him complaining about airlines and joking about people having to be quarantined in hotels on entering the UK. At one point he criticises airlines and airports for complaining about travel restrictions, and agrees when Simon Case, the Downing Street permanent secretary, calls them “horribly self-serving”. Walsh, the former boss of British Airways, said: “The messages between Matt Hancock and Simon Case making light of travel lockdowns and the economic collapse of the airline industry reveal a breathtaking contempt for travellers and aviation workers.”
The attacks cap a bruising week for Hancock, who is now an independent MP, having lost the Tory whip for appearing on the television show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Over the last five days the paper has revealed how Hancock’s office helped arrange rapid Covid tests for a child of his Conservative colleague Jacob Rees-Mogg, how he clashed with the then education secretary, Gavin Williamson, over school lockdowns and how officials and ministers had to explain basic transmission statistics to the then prime minister, Boris Johnson. On Friday, the Telegraph published a new cache of messages showing the lengths Hancock went to during the crisis to protect and burnish his own reputation. At one point, the former health secretary asks an adviser whether he should release photographs of him on a surfing trip. At another, he shares a message from a friend who tells him the crisis could help “propel him into the next league” and “break you through in terms of public perception”.
