It wasn't very good of the GP's to abandon the surgeries and head to the hills for safety leaving the surgery lights on and not bothering to lock the doors.

The lowly paid and the volunteers have helped massively to keep things going - even with the vaccinations.

While people do this - and give to charities,those with money just ignore the responsibilities.

Those with Covid have used it against frontline workers as a weapon.Those offenders go to prison and are given the vaccine.The frontline workers carry on - and are still without a vaccination.

Warped values in this country.It ain't gonna change.

Well you wouldn’t because their fee earners have all had to take pay decreases. Just like the majority of the UK, but sure. Take your frustrations out on someone who has nothing to do with you.

If the Government can afford to waste billions on a failed track and trace system, then they can afford a bit more than a measly 1% increase. Oh I forgot, this is Tory Britain, where hard and sefless work is ridiculed rather than appreciated.

You're right about warped values



Mind you if Sunak follows through on his "promise" to cut £17 billion from public spending, there will be rioting on the streets.

They 'll be cheering in the queues for the British food banks when they learn how many millions,to each and every foreign country,has been reduced. Or perhaps not,when they tally up how much goes out to foreign countries. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... ak-reveals Strange how particular Conservative MP's are quite pleased to give money which is not their own,away,while ensuring their expenses claims for minutaei don't miss a trick.

So where does Boris’s extra £350 million quid a week Brexit bonus for the NHS come into it, and whose getting that then?

It's already been spent on dodgy PPE and lining the pockets of "friends" of the cabinet.
According to Boris all of the information regarding the contracts doled out to Tory friends and family have been made public (which is required by law within 30 days) but, once again, Boris hasn't quite been telling the truth as there are a huge number that STILL haven't been made public

I agree awarding PPE contracts to mates looks terrible - even if they did locate the PPE needed

As for track and trace - its a national disgrace

The point with the PPE is that many of those companies failed to source and provide PPE, despite having been paid HUGE amounts of cash to do so and some of these deals STILL remain hidden form public scrutiny.

Has there ever been a time where blatant payments to friends and family have been so frequent.
Talk about the new normal and there is no shame whatsoever.

We could add the £43m that a Tory donor saved by the Tory minister at the expense of local government.
The pandemic will end and then the cover it provided will disappear and the governments many failures will be investigated but maybe not by the Sun or Express.

I think you're getting confused between the staff who work in the NHS and the privileged Tory politicians who have routinely underfunded it.

I don't think I am - you could put the whole GDP of this country into the NHS and it still wouldn't be sufficient. Where do you stop - what is the correct funding level?

Was the underfunding the route course of all these people getting Covid in hospital or a lack of simple cleanliness? It certainly wasn't due to a lack of staff or products as a big chunk of the staff weren't actually working.

The NHS proved it couldn't function when the pressure ramped up it became the National Covid Service and it didn't do a great job of that - highest death rate in Europe, highest death rate per million population in the world. Who sent all the infected pensioners back to care homes etc. etc.

The service needs a massive overhaul and as a population we need to decide what we actually want from a health service?
