COVID inquiry latest

You wouldn't know it by looking at the front pages of most of the papers, but the COVID inquiry is well under way, and the evidence is as damning as expected, with the caveat that many other more damning messages and mails were deleted or the devices failed to be handed over, like former PM Boris Johnson and current Pt PM Rishi Sunak have both refised to do.

Health advisor, Patrick Vallance nicknmaed Sunak Dr Death becaue of his "eat out to help out scheme", and they renamed it, eat out to help out the virus.

Sunak, as Chancellor, asked the question, "why are we wrecking the economy to protect those who are going to die anyway?"

Yes, placing the economy over the lives of a few thousand disabled, or cancer sufefrs, of those with reduced immune systems, or just the plain old. You should die so investment bankers can go on and earn millions in bonuses.

Of course the whole point of lockdown, or a large part of it, was to protect hese very groups of people. And remember, on average, these would have lived, on average, ten years, but their early deaths would have been a sacrifice Sunak was all to willing to make, given half the chance.

Probably best to bear that in mind now he's Prime Minister and responsible for al the decision making in Government.

I did say at the time that eat out to help out was a massive mistake and created thousands of mass infection zones in those restaurants, bars and pubs that took part. I remember how mad busy Southampton was at the time, and I isolated for two weeks when I can back as I felt it was so dangerous.

But what do I know?

As for Johnson.

He made it impossible to tackle COVID as he changed plans each day.

The Cabinet Secretary said of Johnson: "He cannot lead & we cannot support him...Government isn't actually that hard but this guy is really making it impossible."

Perhaps most damning, Johnson appears to have attended no official preparations in the ten days leading to up to the fist lockdown, despite being told that delay in lockdown would result in thousands more deaths, and a deeper and longer lockdown.

As the revealations come out day after day, its clear it was even worse than feared in 10 Downing Street, and yet, Johnson and Sunak have clained that they "followed the science" and "got the big calls right", which as Johnson tried to bully Vallance and Whitty into changing their guidance, it bollocks.

As Johnson would say.
