Leaked text messages between former UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and his media adviser Damon Poole reveal how top officials conspired to "frighten the pants off everyone" and "deploy the new variant" to control the public's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The messages have sparked controversy as they suggest a lack of transparency and unethical behavior from government officials. The British Telegraph obtained 100,000 text messages from Hancock, and they show how the government may have intentionally used fear tactics to control the public's response to the pandemic.
Critics argue that the leaked messages reveal a disregard for public health and safety, as officials appear to be more focused on manipulating public opinion than on providing accurate information.
The controversy surrounding the leaked messages underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in government decision-making, particularly during times of crisis.
The leaked text messages have significant implications for public trust in government officials and their ability to manage public health crises.
In June 2021, Hancock had to step down as Health Secretary after photos emerged showing he had violated social distancing rules to pursue an extramarital affair with UK Department of Health employee Gina Coladangelo, who was earning £15,000 a month.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to resign Sept. 6, 2022 over the so-called Partygate affair, after his employees held parties at 10 Downing Street, as the country was ordered into complete lockdown.
