Except the people who did.

For some reason SAGE didn't really consider lockdown until fairly late. But even without the full lockdown we went with in the end there were plenty of calls to shut pubs and sporting and music events.

The Press like to cherry-pick to make shock / horror / gasp headlines that suit their political leaning. The full details of what advice was given to the Government is contained in the SAGE papers:

Entirely incorrect. Who ever is in power gets it if they can find reason. Any reason at all. Too many people live in cookoo land and think it's as simple as that but some papers do have leanings as we all know. Some TV channels just mostly report and may follow either of the herds. What people seldom do is look at underlying facts for themselves.

They are, now after the press hounded the government into sharing them. They also include the reports that include the predicted death tolls, that weren't acted on for a long time afterwards.

Dinner lady neighbour of mine who works in Tottenham was told to go home before the lockdown officially started - because concerned parents had already taken their children out of school.
So
The government wont release who was on the SAGE group.
Why?
because sage is not politically independent.
"Multiple attendees of Sage told the Guardian that both Cummings and Warner had been taking part in meetings of the group as far back as February.
The inclusion of Downing Street advisers on Sage will raise questions about the independence of its scientific advice."

Boris didn't talk to teachers, nor councils before announcing that children would go back to school 1st June. Not really a good move on behalf of our PM is it? He was left with a backlash from authorities and not many kids going back - and now the gov have decided it's not feasible to send the rest of them back which is what teachers and councils said all along...
Own it.
What are those parents doing now then? Happy to keep her kids at home for ever?
most of the press is pro Right wing and you right it does cherry pick -to make this govt look good.

I should imagine that they will send em back when the cases and deaths are lower in the UK...

You really do talk a lot of twaddle. Do you ever fact-check a single statement you make? Or do you prefer to just post outright lies (one of your favourite words, eh).

Well, it's certainly what the trade unions have said all along.
So are you suggesting that the general population in the UK is more stupid than the general population in Europe as a whole?
