I think blaming the public for being fucking idiots is fine, because largely the public are fucking idiots. Myself and everyone here included.
That said, for something so important, a huge media campaign to educate the public on the circumstances on which they should get a test, and the consequences of abusing the testing system, wouldn't have gone amis.

Had this discussion the other day. There may well be people using tests to clear themselves before visiting family etc - I have no idea how widespread that really is - but blaming the public is what Hancock et al want us to do, when clearly the government handling of the system (and Dido) is where the blame lies. If they had got a robust T&T system in place and scaled up testing properly over the summer, there wouldn't be the current shitshow.
