Just when things were going so well Johnson cannot keep his mouth zipped! (or trousers we are led to believe!). Encouraging people to go back to their workplaces, when a TUC survey says half of all workplaces are not Covid safe!

He regrets but will not call a public inquiry. Why? Too much dirty washing to be revealed?

Ignoring scientific evidence on a major scale, mask denial, his own Covid denial at the start, the lack of preparedness of the NHS despite warnings, lack of PPE, dodgy contract arrangements, mixed messaging and lack of clarity throughout, lack of quarantine until too late, farce that is test and track, Cummings, eat out scheme, opening schools and especially universities in September/October, the list is endless. For sure some things were probably as good, or even better than expected (the furlough scheme and financial support seems to have been successful so far). Vaccination has been a huge success, although whether this was driven by capitalism and greed is plainly a comment by someone who has had too much brandy? I am sure someone will have trashed this comment much more succinctly than I could. But for the record, what about the thousands of volunteers at vaccination places (presumably not motivated by greed or capitalism), I am sure many companies are motivated by capitalism and greed (that is fundamental to their existence) but the scientists working on vaccines are, in general, not. I guess he must have been talking about the cabinet and their cronies.

Hancocks turn today! Happy to claim (boast about) all the credit for the magnificent NHS vaccine programme he refused to explain how the shortage of vaccine had occurred. GP’s claim they could have jabbed more if the vaccine had been available. Marcel Levi issues a dating statement about our crumbling and leaking hospitals, an over dependance on foreign staff and stress on staff.

Johnson hides from enquiry into management of pandemic.

I have been looking at the statistics for Cornwall which are generally great. 15 cases per 100000 in 7 days to 10 March..

Increase in Trident missiles? Why? Increasing budget on cyber security is absolutely necessary and sensible. I am not sure the comments about China are necessary. Diplomacy is best done behind closed doors.

The three women at the top of this countries security betray all women in the UK. Disgraceful.

Who gives a f***? The Sunday Mail had 14 pages on it? Surely most of that must have made up bullshit? Even the Observer had a double page, but to be fair it was more about racism. Given that the Mail is the top selling newspaper round here does that mean that the readers are all interested? Or have the Mail over done it. We know the readership of the mail mainly white middle class and femail.
