The locking down, unlocking, the panic, the waste of money on apps, T&T and PPE. The ludicrous contracts, THE VIP LANE!!!, the silly schemes – Eat out to Help out, the lack of preparedness, the Cygnus report, the useless PPE, the writing off of Billions! The way the NHS has been run down for the last 12 years!
Is it all just brushed under the carpet??
Tax rises and public service cuts really hurt ordinary people!! They are trying to tell us that it’s due to global events out of our control but it isn’t! It’s due to Brexit and a mismanagement of Covid. They’ve wasted billions – giving it away to their chums, wasting it!! Then there’s Brexit which has broken the economy, put prices up substantially and has cost us an arm and leg – now they’re going for the kidneys!! Brexit has already cost us a £100 billion!! So much for those lies about Brexit dividends, imaginary trade deals and sunny uplands. Where’s the accountability?? Why aren’t these robbers and thieves locked up?? Why is yet another of those lying Brexiteers, who have so damaged this country, now the PM – to feather his nest even more?
When are we going to get some sense back and get ourselves back in the SINGLE MARKET????
The cost of voting Tory is destroying this country!! These aren’t really Tories at all – they’re a bunch of populist profiteers who have kicked the true Tories out! (And the true Tories were bad enough!!)
Inflation is rampant
Petrol is through the roof
Food prices are astronomical
We are looking towards catastrophic energy hikes
Where is our government??? Do the Tories give a shit??
Johnson is parking about in fighter jets and police raids. Nobody cares!!
Winter is coming!! Good luck!! You voted for them!!
It is endless. They have been feeding the wealthy Tory Donors while starving the poor. They are not even good at what they are doing!!
Some commentary on Dominic Cumming’s statement.
March/April 2020 The chaos continues in government. The pubs and restaurants are still open. Despite the reports from Italy and Spain of mass deaths and health services overwhelmed.
Johnson dithers.
There is no scrutiny in Cabinet (all the reasonable people have been kicked out – we only have the extreme lunatic extremists).
Hancock lies to cabinet and country. Hancock should have been fired. He lied about PPE, NHS ability to cope and shielding for Care Homes.
The panic sets in. The question of ‘Who Do We Save?’
Old people were unceremoniously chucked out of hospitals back into Care Homes without testing – spreading the virus through Care Homes and killing tens of thousands of our most vulnerable. Hancock lies about Care Homs being shielded – a ring of protection – in reality the old and vulnerable were being sacrificed.
We finally lockdown much too late.
Boris lies about everyone receiving treatment and proceeds to lie about world-beating apps, world-beating Test and Trace, operation Moonshots and how much they care.
Cummings claims that Johnson was unfit for office (like so many others that Johnson has worked with).
Huge amounts of public money is thrown at the disease all to Tory donors without any proper scrutiny or proper tendering – PPE contracts – Nightingale hospitals – ventilators – Track and Trace app (failed), Track and Trace (£37 billion alone) (failed). Money was handed out willy-nilly to go-betweens, landlords, foreign companies and all manner of people who had no experience what-so-ever, while firms who were experienced in things like PPE were ignore.
Some people (including people like Rees-Mogg and other members of the government and relatives) made millions.
Johnson and Hancock lied about being prepared. Johnson lied about everyone receiving treatment.
Chaos rules in Number 10. At one point they were frantically trying to come up with a plan with scribbles on a whiteboard while trying to stop the USA and Trump bombing Iraq and dealing with Boris Johnson’s girlfriend having hysterical rage about their dog.
Johnson models himself on populist leaders like Trump and Bolsonaro who play down the disease, calling it a scare story and ‘little flu’.
Johnson on intensive care with Covid and nearly dies.
All the worst performing countries were run by Populist fools – Johnson, Trump, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, Modi, Orban). All big on promises and electioneering slogans, racism and dision, but cannot run a country.
Cummings gets Covid and goes off to Durham – breaking all the rules – then lies about going to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight.
One rule for one one rule for another.
It was obvious that we should have shut down much earlier (as many other countries did) and should have closed our borders (as many other countries did). We should have been prepared.
We then got through the first wave and invited the second wave that killed many more tens of thousands, by stupidly telling people to go back to work in the offices (to help the lunchtime caterers), to go to the pubs and restaurants to ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ and spread the virus – resulting in a second lockdown.
It’s a tale of
LIES
INCOMPETENCE
SLEAZE
COMPLACENCY
UNPREPAREDNESS
LAZINESS AND STUPIDITY
CORRUPTION
Who’s to blame?
Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Matt Hancock, SAGE, the Cabinet, The Tory Government.
December 2019 Johnson wins historic victory with huge majority.
They instantly purge all the reasonable Tories – such as Hammond, Stewart and Clarke – and install arch Brexiteers.
They install Dominic Cummings who is incompetent when it comes to running a country. He starts installing weirdos and misfits and ousting competent ministers.
Their whole focus is on Brexit.
Nobody is paying any attention to what is going on in China or listening to the WHO or memos from Whitehall.
Who is to blame? – China, the WHO and Boris Johnson (run by puppeteer Cummings).
January 2020 Johnson pushes Brexit through with a hard deal and many lies (No borders in Ireland, fishing protected etc.). The oven-ready deal is far from oven-ready.
The virus is now spreading into a pandemic with cases in the USA, Europe, Russia and Far East.
Completely ignored by Boris Johnson and Trump. WHO fails to take a hard enough line. China is still covering up but is locking down hard.
Korea closes borders.
Who is to blame?
China, WHO and Boris Johnson.
February 2020 The virus is now gaining pace and spreading fast. Deaths are occurring around the world (2 weeks after getting the disease).
Johnson and Trump completely ignore it.
Johnson misses 5 Cobra meetings and goes on holiday. Cummings misses Cobra meetings. Nobody is taking it seriously.
Places like Singapore and Thailand close borders.
WHO issues warnings.
Deaths in Italy and Spain.
Cobra meetings claim that lockdown and closing borders wouldn’t work for us.
Complete complacency reigns.
Who is to blame?
Boris Johnson.
Having allowed the Indian variant in following some desperate attempt to gain a trade deal with Modi while the virus was rampant in India. For two weeks we allowed thousands of infected people into the country.
Then whoops!! It’s all going haywire. Who could have foreseen that???
The Tory Party have been riding the high of vaccine euphoria. We’ll see when the bubble bursts and people finally realise what an incompetent bunch of extremist twerps they really are.
Chris Riddell sums it up! Thanks John Peachey!
Shackled by debt created by Tory incompetence — I’m voting Tory!!
