COVID-19 ~ I wish Boris Johnson a speedy recovery because I don't wish ill on anyone...BUT



It's amazing that in 2008 the greedy banks crashed the world economy and we had to bail out banks that were deemed too big to be allowed to fail. The Tory press and the Tories convinced the country "Labour Bankrupt the country". After 8 years of austerity, we are over 800 billion more in debt, so I think we can put that one to bed and safely say we were nowhere near-bankrupt, we were lied to.

Fast forward 12 years and a nasty little virus comes along, something they always knew would happen.
Apparently, they have been planning for it for years, and it was even higher than terrorism on the treat list. So to plan for this over the last 10 years the government reduced hospital beds by over 12,000-14,000 along with staff, ICU beds, ventilators etc etc. to one of the lowest in Europe. (The sixth richest country in the world has one of the lowest levels of hospital beds? and hence no room to cope for an emergency)

But now we are not allowed to criticise the government’s handling of this, it's insensitive, and they are doing their best in an emergency situation, what utter claptrap. And all the Tory memes are already out in circulation and the sheep are falling for them, sorry but if the cap fits wear it. The same memes that did the rounds during Brexit. Oh, we weren’t allowed to criticise then either I remember, the poor things were dealing with a tough situation. A load of old eyewash my Dad would have said.

I wish Boris Johnson a speedy recovery because I don't wish ill on anyone, even those politicians that I know are pathological liars. However just because you're in hospital doesn't make the government suddenly unaccountable for its actions.

Their actions have certainly been wanting, from Boris Johnson claiming to have shaken hands with Coronavirus patients. A statement along with other woolly and unclear advice that clearly lessened the impact and the reality of the situation to the general public.

We see the evidence of that with people flouting the social distancing rules. Because they don't believe it. They don't believe it because of Boris Johnson’s absolutely ridiculous handling of it. It’s akin to a Dads Army sketch.

And were not allowed to say anything because he has an unborn child. It’s insensitive? Really?  There are plenty of people that have died, some had children I’m sure there are a few others that had unborn children that would have liked to have known their Dad. Boris Johnson doesn’t get the monopoly on it.

FFS boils my piss.

Get well soon Boris but when you get out stop with the Dads Army humour, woolly conflicting information and get it right, because at present you’re not.
