>And how absurd it looks, how silly, this token nod towards curtailing infection amid the booze and grins and genial dissolution of another night of No 10 flicking the finger to the nation. People were dying who should have lived – in their beds at home before a paramedic could reach them, on hospital forecourts, on tarmac, in corridors, on ordinary wards because the ICU was full. And so I sat, masked and gowned, in a tiny room with pastel wall art and obligatory NHS tissues, trying to prepare a boy the same age as my son for how very different his dad would look now to the man who’d been whisked away from his home by ambulance.
The guardian appears to dislike Boris Johnson
What a hateful screed. It seems that some people aren’t angry about how bad they have it, but in reality are jealous about how good other people have it.
Noodle salad and days at the beach.
Keep speaking out Rachel and thank you so much.
This “we worked so hard and some of our people lived alone so they needed the company” nonsense is EXACTLY the point. Most people in living alone followed the rules to protect others – but no 10 had no idea what they were asking because they didn’t do it themselves. (2/2)
Would that be PPE that was only available because the UK government decided not to comply with their procurement rules, instead grabbing whatever they could from whoever they could regardless of costs, something that the opposition and media are having a go at them about and demanding an inquiry?
