By fudging the death toll figures and moving the goalposts on what's counted or not, the Government has locked the conversation onto "are we the worst/second worst country in Europe".

What the media SHOULD be screaming about is the 28,161+ poor people who have lost their lives.
Where we rank is abstract. Sure, deaths underpin it, but it's still a sanitised conversation. "That album got to number two." "Return of the King is my top film." "Our death toll..."

28,161+ people are dead.

That's 28,161+ more than zero.

That's the real story here. Focus!
Boris Johnson & his Cabinet should be required to read out the names of everyone who's died.

At a measured, respectful three seconds per name, it would take them nearly a full day to get through the list.

Perhaps that might finally cut through their facade of simpering hubris.
