Pots and Pans
We went out with our pots and pans
While Johnson lied.
We supported the NHS
As the doctors tried.
We washed our hands and stayed at home
Johnson partied.
We social distanced, wore our masks.
Wine was carted.
We went out with our pots and pans
While Johnson lied.
We supported the NHS
As the nurses tried.
Complacency and jolly words
Keep it for the birds.
We needed action
But received a fraction.
We went out with our pots and pans
While Johnson lied.
We supported the NHS
As the orderlies tried.
We needed truth and competence
While they planned PPE profits.
One rule for them another for us
Say the government prophets.
We went out with our pots and pans
While Johnson lied.
We supported the NHS
As the cleaners died.

How quickly people forget. I watched the drama Breathtaking, based on the diaries of an NHS consultant during the covid crisis. It brought it all back.
The lockdowns, the complacency, the social distancing and masks; the fear. The images of ventilators, news of deaths of people we knew; the stress of the NHS workers.
Then the incredible PPE scandals, VIP lanes and profiteers and government stooges walking off with millions. Cumming’s jaunts, Johnson’s partying and poor decisions. Shutting down too late, opening up too early, Eat Out to Die!
The lack of planning, the effect of Tory NHS cuts, the complacency, panic and poor thinking.
Saved by the vaccine.
It was like running a war with a clown in charge. Johnson was a perfidious nincompoop, out of his depth; a Billy Bunter thrust into a crisis. All he had in his head was Brexit and despite all his Oven Ready sloganeering he didn’t have a clue what to do with that. I’ve seen rabbits in headlights more decisive and intelligent.
Now they’re talking about bringing the lying, incompetent fool back to Save the Tory Party! They are as big fools as he is!
