Also worth a note that Boris Johnson (former prime minister for those far from the UK) himself said he was happy to share all those WhatsApp messages on his phone with the investigation team, and it was a government department that stepped in to refuse access to those messages, repeatedly. They considered the WhatsApp messages too sensitive for an official investigation to read.
- paledot 3y agoWell, if Boris Johnson said it, it must be true. It was his radical honesty that cost him the Prime Ministership, after all.
- 3np 3y agoThis does not reflect my experience at all. 3/5 would not vote again.
- lozenge 3y agoHe wanted to share messages from mid 2021 onwards, not covering the onset of covid.
- jlokier 3y agoI think the replies and downvoter may have missed my intended point, which is that WhatsApp seems to be simultaneously treated as not an official channel and yet also treated as containing officially sensitive messages. Whether Boris was telling the truth or not was irrelevant to my intended point.
