Honestly, I may be ignorant...

...and I appreciate I may seem like I have an agenda or something. But really I don't. I do find it said thats how society is becoming, well at least online.

I just wish that the response was more "mate, you're wrong - here's some evidence that the government didn't follow scientific advise" etc... I could then read it and say "oh wow, thanks - the government really f**ked up" (well as long as the evidence isnt The Daily Mail or some bulls**t politically aligned rag).

I guess that is hard to be fair right now, as there's not a lot of publicly available evidence.
