Sold another Turkey

So, after much negotiations and sending two RAF planes to pick up the consignment, it seems that the 400,000 protective gowns supplied from Turkey do not meet specifications and so are useless.

An MP who is also a carer in care home was sacked from said care home after stating there was a problem in the supply of PPE.

Line 2 is proven by line 1, but she was sacked anyway.

After the glorious headlines that greeted the 122,000 tests completed/sent out/made up last week, testing numbers are slumping. Just over 50,000 people tested yesterday. The good news is that Johnson managed to blurt out in PMQs that the targets was 250,000 to be tested by the end of May.

The Health Minister looked startled, as this will be his problem.

Johnson was left broken after a gentle evisceration by Keir Starmer, who time and time again lead Johnson to make a statement, then produced the evidence to disprove the PM. The two stood in an almost deserted Chamber, and without the baying of his back benchers, Johnson is a busted flush, a schoolboy found out for not prepping for his Latin vocab test.

Crumbs.

But no lines for Johnson, just the ever-increasing numbers of dead. Now the highest body count in Europe, and second only to the US.

But the newspapers skimmed over that and instead most lead on the fact, or the briefing they had received, that the lockdown would be eased on Monday. Though Number 10 professed surprise, but how could editors have received the same information?

There is no data to support a move to release the lockdown. Nor is there any serious arrangements to test and trace, which will be critical.

Rather than own up to the mistakes and disasters that have happened since the start of the year, MPs and Ministers attack the media for reporting facts in supply problems and that there was no science to follow. Some honesty would be nice, but then these wankers have lied for years. Johnson is the king of liars, sacked twice for lying, and no one able to say how many children he has. Is it six, seven or eight?

Lifting the restrictions too early, or without testing will bring a second wave five to six weeks later. But Ministers want football back, more bread and circuses to distract while the herses thake the evidence away to be buried out of sight, and out of mind.
