Caroline Lucas flagged by disinformation unit over Covid criticism

6 comments
  1. > Among examples of information about Lucas held by the CDU was her inclusion in an RRU report on “vaccine hesitancy” based on what was described as a “prominent tweet” by her in 2021 arguing that booster vaccines should be sent to countries with shortages.

    > In April 2020, she was featured in a CDU “Covid mis/disinformation report” after being critical of the way the government had purchased medical equipment during the pandemic.

    > She was included again after a 2020 tweet she sent alleging poor government preparedness for a pandemic.

    No words. Not surprised either.

  2. I’m only surprised it’s come to light so soon.

    It was an insane time. I remember saying completely non-controversial things on here and being completely piled upon. CoronavirusUK was particularly bad for classifying things as misinformation.

  3. Tories trashing the reputation of just about everything. If you let them in then they’ll destroy it.

  4. Am i missing something here? She’s mentioned in a report, there’s no mention that the report accused her of anything illegal or untoward. So what’s the issue?

  5. She pointed out some obvious truths that are unpalatable for the government to admit. It shouldn’t matter what she said anyway, those who agree with her will have already reached these conclusions and those who back the Tories still will never accept them as true.
