Covid is not over

[griff]

Get your facts straight Frank. I said in an earlier post that “ The Tories quite rightly blamed Labour for squandering resources”; I’d already conceded that Brown and his cronies had ballsed it up. No government has done a great job of running this country for decades in my view; the Tories did OK in coalition when they had to have the brakes applied by the Lib-Dems and Labour under Blair did OK until Iraq. Blair pulled socialism towards the centre and the Lib-Dems did the same with the Tories. The Uk does best with centrist policies which, from where you stand, is the far left.

Anyway, calm down Frank. I don’t hate the Tories, I simply don’t have to dislike them to clearly see the mess they’re making of managing covid deaths, the NHS and the inflation. The Treasury has recently benefitted from large windfall income too and Sunak is sitting on a war chest that he won’t spend to alleviate the needs of those who can’t afford higher fuel and food prices. No, he’s sitting on it to buy votes in the next election year:

How callous is that?

When I was working the Immigration courts we used to use a test called ‘Wednesbury reasonableness’ which came from an earlier court judgement and was used to determine whether a decision could be considered to be reasonable or correct. Basically it came down to this. Would the very definition of a reasonable man find the decision or action to be reasonable? Apply that test to the decisions made by the Tories that affected covid deaths, inflation, the operation and funding of the NHS, the aftermath of brexit etc.and it’s quite clear that they fail on all of them. Add to that that a proportion of their MPs can't keep their hands of other folks’ wives, minors or stay off p­orn sites at work and you’re looking at a corrupt government bereft of honour or substance. But you’re a fanboy Frank, so you’ll never see it.
