These clowns really need to get better at their rebuttals...

Claim: The Army had to be called in to sort out your shit-show.
Rebuttal: "The army was utilised"... word salad...word salad..

Guys? GUYS! That's actually a confirmation not a rebuttal.
Claim: You stored PPE in a smoke-damaged, asbestos-laden warehouse.

Rebuttal: Yes we did. But (as luck would have it) tests showed no contamination (honest, cross our hearts).

So you were as reckless as fck, but got lucky. May as well drive the wrong way down the M1 then...
Claim: Some pallets were blocking aisles, potentially hampering access and delivery.

Rebuttal: It was only a few...

It only *takes* "a few" to block an aisle, FFS. It only took one sperm to create whomever drafted this rebuttal - but that was one too many.
Claim: You awarded a contract to a company that was totally on its arse.

Rebuttal: We certainly did! We do that all the time. Carillion were fkd for years and we kept throwing work their way! That's how we roll.
These DHSC rebuttals get more risible each day.
Here's the formula:

1. Inadvertently admit the thing you were accused of.
2. Deny something else that you weren't accused of.
3. WhatabouteryWordSaladEvadeDistract.
4. Say "we rebutted the claims".

Go back to clown school, guys!
One more:

Claim: Chaos led to delays deploying PPE.

Rebuttal: No! Oh nonononono! Because we said so. Believe us. [How carefully they say it was always *ready* for deployment, not it was always deployed]

So how comes nurses have had to fashion PPE out of fkg BIN-LINERS, then?
