I didn't think after Brexit I could feel any more disgusted by my country. The failure to vaccinate housebound people with disabilities while 8 million other people get theirs has achieved it. In both cases the majority are happy as they perceive it to work for them. #SelfishGene

Following on from the appalling early scandal whereby hospital patients with Covid were knowingly moved to nursing homes, with catastrophic results, we now have a second scandal whereby the less vulnerable are leapfrogging the most vulnerable.

So the sprightly 70-somethings who are choosing to go to supermarkets are getting vaccinated, while people with disabilities who have no choice about very close contact with carers may have to wait at least another month.

And the genius of all this is that no one will care as long as they are further up the queue as a result. We have shown as a society (again) who we value and it is emphatically not the most vulnerable. That should tell us a lot about ourselves, but it won't.

We've outsourced our national conscience to a man who doesn't have one. Quite clever when you think about it. More people will die who have no choice and no voice, and who need not have died. It's all so incredibly sad.
