Boris Johnson is a libertarian so I think it's fair to assume he genuinely doesn't want a lockdown, it would go against all his beliefs. I honestly think he doesn't want to do it.

But the government IS asking for extra powers RE covid19 for two years with no oversight.
If is truly is libertarian he should ask for oversight then. That requires principles though :)

I don't believe this, or at least I don't think it's his primary driver. I suspect it's just political awareness. Once he starts locking people up and issuing dictats about people (in their minds) minding their own business, he'll be incredibly, personally exposed at having interfered with people. Maybe not immediately, but after weeks / months of the measures that he'd have imposed.

I feel a bit slow for just figuring it out. But it's now obvious. Boris proclaims I dont want to lockdown, no no locked etc. Knowing people will be idiots and the sensible half cry for a lockdown, plus media. Then when he does lock down (tomorrow) he can say I didnt want to do this, and also enforce it for longer as people and the media cried for it.
Perfect Nudge group shit.
