Rishi Sunak and I don't need to self isolate, as we are taking part in a pilot scheme to assess the impact of having one rule for us and another for everyone else. https://t.co/zUbOyzs3qZ

So far, members of this govt can:
— Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) July 18, 2021
1. Go to work instead of self-isolate
2. Ravish employees at work instead of socially distance
3. Test their eyes on 600 mile road trips instead of obey lockdown
4. Hand billion pound contacts out like smarties to mates
I dream of decency đ
Hundreds of thousands of young people, including my children, had their education and lives repeatedly turned upside down again and again after dutifully and responsibly isolating. And now this. Anger doesnât begin to cover it. https://t.co/4XylB29M9q

Where weâre at:
— David Schneider (@davidschneider) July 18, 2021
Health Sec has Covid despite being fully vaccinated
Half population not fully vaccinated
PM/Sunak tried not to self-isolate
1.6m told to self-isolate last week
Highest daily cases in world
Hospitals already struggling
CONCLUSION
Lift restrictions!
When I was writing my article last week, I was told those selected for testing – rather than isolation – were chosen at random. We're meant to believe Boris and Rishi were both "randomly" chosen. They think we're idiots.

Its almost like they know millions self-isolating undermines their countrycidal âFreedom Dayâ.

So by not self-isolating themselves they push everyone else not to do it.

Weâll be back in lockdown in weeks.

Can't be a person in UK who doesn't want this nightmare over. It's separated us from loved ones, disrupted lives and brought unemployment, misery and death to our doorsteps. But just picking an arbitrary date and declaring it over does not end it. Beware Covid 19. Beware populism
