A FUCKING SAD [THREAD]

There was a choice : 3rd December 2020

At where to focus

Scotland chose - JVCI priority

England chose - to deviate from that JVCI priority

"Fifteen care home residents have died after testing positive for Covid-19.

Perry Manor nursing home, in Worcester, said it was "saddened by the losses" in recent weeks, after managing to stay free of coronavirus until last month."

"Deaths in care homes in England have hit the highest level since mid-May, - revealed a 46% jump in coronavirus-related deaths in the last week as the more transmissible variant of Covid-19 breaches care homes’ defences."

So as England champions the roll out of vaccine

Ask yourself

Was the choice of deprioritising care home worth it?

It's a simple question.

Yes - now that the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is here England can catch up on that choice - but at what cost?

On this interview

A reminder:

The UK government has for the most part of the last year boycotted @GMB

Last week on @GMB ministers could not give *ANY* reasons as to why the UK death toll is so high

This week.....

See @theresecoffey

(I'm blocked by her)
See a clip with fuller intro to question

So a reminder:

23/1/2020 Matt Hancock

"The public can be assured that the whole of the UK is always well-prepared for these types of outbreaks and will remain vigilant and keep our response under constant review in the light of emerging scientific evidence."

This is good news

The securing of British jobs

Is good news

Though to secure them

It admits two things

1. They were under threat
2. Something was done to address that threat

Your reminder this is a man who said "fuck business"

A reminder

It is good news from Nissan

British workers, their livelihoods are safe

Amidst yesterday's inauguration

There were so many moments

For commemoration

[thread] on Boris Johnson and "woke"

And a journey from Robert Jenrick

To the words of Boris Johnson

And to today's attack lines from @CCHQPress

And the blue on blue of yesterday where one amoral cheating lying racist PM attacked another

Here's @RobertJenrick

A man who has no shame at his lack of ethics

Here's a reminder of the words of Boris Johnson on Winston Churchill

[thread] Now this front page is fascinating

First - on Theresa May

Second - on Sarah Vine

Oh and also congratulations to Euan Blair on his marriage and his business success.
First on Boris

Theresa May is an amoral cheating lying racist self serving incompetent charlatan

Operation Vaken, suppressing immigration reports, cutting police & saying they are crying wolf, brexit, cheating, citizens of nowhere

Also: see Boris

Second on Sarah

"Want to keep us in lockdown. Then give us a roadmap out"

I actually agree with Sarah

There should be a roadmap out of lockdown

Just as there should have been from the start of this covid crisis

Beware the "baying mob"

Beware the "revisionist purge"

There must always be a culture war

There is a statue that needs protection from a "baying mob"

As they piss/spaff on her every time they walk past
Thatcher

“Britain does not renounce Treaties.

Indeed, to do so would damage our own integrity as well as international relations.“

Anyone remember "in a very specific and limited way"
Or lying to Queen to unlawfully prorogue Parliament?

Thatcher
"Sovereignty and independence are not ends in themselves. It is no good being independent in isolation if it involves running down our economy and watching other nations outstrip us in both trade and influence."
