Friends, Britons, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury carers, not to praise them;
The folly that they do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their residents;
So let it be with care homes. The noble Boris
Hath told you care homes were non-compliant:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath care homes answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Boris and the rest –
For Boris is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men –
Come I to speak in care homes’ decimation.
They were heroic, faithful and strong
But Boris says they were non-compliant;
And Boris is an honourable man.
He hath reduced our Covid-19 rates
And kept our death toll lower than our neighbours.
Led by example, as has Saint Dom.
When that the virus raged, carers hath toiled;
Lived in, made their own PPE:
Yet Boris says they ignored procedures;
And Boris is an honourable man.
Anyone else feel that this is a post-truth government?
