TOPICS: Cheating, Lying, Official corruption, U.K. Govt., Covid-19 policy scandals:

Matt Hancock, still (at this writing) a serving and not-yet-sacked minister in the present U.K. government's cabinet, used lies and exaggerations regarding the actual circumstances of Covid-19's threat when, as the then Health Secretary, he was recorded in conversations with colleagues as intent on "scaring the pants off" members of the public in hopes of inducing their acceptance of the government's restrictions on movement and gatherings of groups of people.

Thus, with this fresh revelation, coming three years late--though that doesn't stop the British press from congratulating itself on its professional skills-- shows us that Mr. Hancock had recognised certain of his defenders --that those who'd defended him as being only an incompetent fool rather than a lying incompetent fool -- as being _half_ correct.
