and sending me messages and saying, Brian,

why are you spending so much time

talking about how to get London back to work?

Why are you out there in the field

meeting with entrepreneurs and business leaders

and people in the theatre and the arts and the culture,

why are you doing this?

And it's because I can't stand by and watch this city

be run into the ground by our current leaders.

It pains me to watch it and I won't sit around

and watch it happen

because we are suffering from three things,

a complete lack of leadership,

a total disproportionate response to this virus,

and a complete lack of science based decision making.

And on Friday,

I was speaking with John Morgan

who runs the Theatres Trust here in London.

It's a $2.9 billion industry,

the culture industry in the UK, 290,000 jobs,

and yet they can't go back to work

because there is no science based decision making

to allow them to put on these performances,

that'll boost the economy, really frustrating.

Speaking to entrepreneurs and business leaders

who can't get out to our sitting,

who can't get real answers from our government,

which is just trying to lock us down and shut us down

in a way where I don't see the science, I don't.

I see them protecting themselves

for previous poor decision making

and protecting themselves from poor performance

on track and trace and all that,

but I don't see any intelligent decisions being made.

And no one is talking about the economy,

which is the lifeblood of any city,

it's why any of us are here.

And it's the only thing that guarantees

the longterm potential of London.

And you've gotta let these entrepreneurs

and these businesses get back to work,

you gotta let these people in these offices

come back to work, and you've gotta let these people

find solutions to these problems.

Over the weekend, I was watching the UFC,

the Ultimate Fighting Championship,

and I watched how one incredible entrepreneur

named Dana White decided

that he wouldn't wait for the government

to give him the regulations, to give him the approval.

He would find a way to move his business forward

and provide this incredible entertainment to the world.

And he did, he did.

And he did it through all the protocols and all the science,

he is leading the fields.

And I firmly believe if you let entrepreneurs do this,

they will lead with the proper science

to get us safely back to work.

And yet they're completely being hamstrung

and handcuffed by the government

by not allowing them to do that.

And it's frustrating to me.

And I just see this going one way,

more announcements coming now

that there's gonna be more constraints

on social distancing and even socialising.

And this looks like it's just going one way,

which is not the right way.

And I see people's livelihoods,

people's businesses, all the creativity, the culture,

the entrepreneurship of this city going down the tubes.

And it pains me to watch it

because I don't know how we come back from this,

or we could all step up and find a way to lead

and find a way to find solutions.

And we could lead the world in solutions

when it comes to our business, our transport, our medicine,

the way we look at this on a science based way,

and some real leaders that get out in front

and say, guess what?

Let's find ways to get this city back to work,

let's find safe solutions,

let's find a proportionate response

to the danger of the virus.

I'm seeing none of that.

None of that from our leaders here,

and it's frustrating to me.

So look, let me know what you think below.

Maybe you agree with me, maybe you disagree.

Please tell me, is there a lack of leadership?

Have we seen a disproportionate response to this virus?

I just posted some figures on my Instagram.

And finally, do you think we need

science based decision making

for everything we do here,

from our socialisation to our business, to our policies,

to even our health care.

Please leave me your comments below,

whatever city you're in,

because this is affecting everything.

What happens to London

could potentially happened to the rest of the world

and vice versa, we're all in this together.

I'm looking for the best ideas,

but I'm getting frustrated and I'm seeing our leaders

go the opposite way.

And enough is enough.

We've gotta come together and tell them

that we do not agree with their decisions,

we do not accept them, and we've gotta move on.

So thank you very much, I appreciate you.

And please leave your comments below.

All right, take care, bye.
