That Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock should be prosecuted for the avoidable Covid deaths

[LlynTegid]

The part 2 report of the Covid inquiry finds that at least 20,000 deaths were avoidable, had restrictions come in a week earlier.

Various other findings confirming the failures of Mr Johnson and Mr Hancock.

I think they should face criminal charges, such as corporate manslaughter given government is an employer. AIBU

Sorry but there shouldn’t have been a lockdown at all. Oh I am absolutely enraged - what about mental health, suicide, job losses etc etc ? Close this enquiry and let’s move on please

There isn’t a country in the world where mistakes weren’t made. Not one.

Some countries made bigger mistakes than others and some went on to repeat them.

I don't think there are many countries where their government partied.

@Thepeopleversuswork are you talking about the Starmer who has spectacularly fucked the British people over in his first year of government or is it a different one?

And you know that, do you?

Know what?

My DC went to school with a bunch of mainland Chinese kids who were posting by end December that there was an aberrant virus spreading fast. We started being cautious early. I do think the UK was a week too late with the first lockdown but to have gone off half-cocked would equally have brought huge recriminations.

With hindsight and then what? The economy is screwed?

With hindsight I think they should have left everyone in work who wasn’t vulnerable, like me I worked through it, and children in school and looked after the elderly and sick.

How many people suffered and died due to these pointless lockdowns. How many school children had their education and lives blighted?

Stay safe, OP 🤡

He’s struggling without a pandemic tbf

A slice of birthday cake and a glass of fizz with the colleagues you work with daily ain't a party in my book.

Couldn’t agree more. And she’s based some of her findings on modelling, when we know modelling is massively flawed.

Honestly, this inquiry is a big massive waste of money. And enough of that has been wasted. No one knew what to do.

No one will ever be locked down again, so there’s not even any need for future lockdown planning. Schools should never have closed and should never close again. Children’s education should not have been sacrificed for the NHS

That other governments did not "party"?

If you know of other governments that partied, please tell.

Unless you worked for the design agency I once worked at, where parties were really quite celebratory affairs, I stand by my point that a slice of cake and glass of fizz really doesn't add up to a party in most offices.

Yes, you're being unreasonable.

Posting where? From China? I don't think the Chinese authorities would be allowing anyone to post anything. The Dr that tried to blow the whistle was visited by the police. The people to be held to account are the Chinese government who kept it quiet and let it spread around the world.

Except that’s not what I said is it?

Go on, read back through my post, does it say “there’s not a country in the world where there weren’t parties”? No?

Or do you think that the parties were the only mistakes made.

Stop being so obtuse.

It hasn't taken long for the Johnson apologists and those who are convinced that Labour would have done worse because they've had it in for them since well before the election to make an appearance.

According to Labour it was. Unlike their curry and beers in Durham. That was "work"

Apparently

Agreed entirely.

The so called parties were massively blown out of all proportion.

Tbf it didn’t take you long with this. Who are these nefarious people you mention in all posts?

Remind me who was fined and who wasn't.

No, the parties were not the only mistakes, in fact the parties were not mistakes at all.

I agree about the wasteful nature of the inquiry.
The inevitability vibe regarding future pandemics is irritating too, because the covid pandemic was arguably preventable. A robust inquiry into the origins of it would be far more useful than this waste of everyone's time.

Yep it was a Cummings campaign. It worked as his other campaigns did. Now we have Starmer and co
