I wrote on here a few days ago that I didn't think it appropriate, at a time when thousands were dying, to politically point score. I've changed my mind. The more I think about Boris glibly dismissing the impending crisis and seeming to be actually proud of maximising flesh on flesh contact with all and sundry, the angrier I get.
Boris is a Tory with Tory principles of promoting personal freedom and minimising state interference. That makes this political and Boris should feel ashamed. The NHS that his party machine has been decimating for a decade (yes, it has) was called on to save his life. I really hope his experience proves to be a reawakening for him and that, going forward, the NHS - and the whole care sector - is treated by his government as an absolute priority.
Hello Archbishop. Hope you're keeping well.
I disagree. .It's not political We've all been blindsided by the infectious power of this terrible virus. The Labour party or the Lib Dems would have done nothing significantly different if in power. They've said as much .
Also:
1 The PM has been doing a lot of relegating personal freedom and maximising state interference in the last few months so don't get your point.
2 NHS has not been 'decimated'- (god the extremity of the language). Look at the figures. A lot of money has been wasted on a ponderous ineffective management evidenced by rubbish procurement and poor operational administrative performance. .
3 Where the Government has cocked up big time on is not getting the private sector involved quickly enough in the entire health effort. (Would the Labour Party have been 'better'?, I really doubt it.)
4 Medical sector really shouldn't have been ferrying people in old peoples homes between hospital and their care homes.
