So this is a thing ... Pharmaceutical organisations working with Whitehall to maintain medicine supplies in the event of a no-deal Brexit have signed 26 “ gagging orders ” that bar them from revealing information to the public. Figures show that 16 drug companies and 10 trade associations have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) which prevent them from revealing any information related to contingency plans drawn up with the Department of Health and Social Care . If people ask you to do something evil, such as withholding life-or-death information, you should either: 1) refuse if it is safe for you to do so or you're comfortable becoming a martyr, or 2) lie like a carpet and then discreetly sabotage the evil plan; in this case, by leaking the information so people are not caught unawares. Don't join team "I was just following orders." >_<
