Hancock saying NHS staff using too much PPE the absolute cheek of him, maybe he wants them to take it home and wash it like a PE kit.

I'm just waiting for how the Tories are going to try spin this onto Labour like they did the financial crash.

Disgraceful we are relying on NHS staff to save our lives and they aint got enough kit to protect themselves, they are literary like soldiers going into battle exposing themselves to fatal doses of this virus, would you send troops in without body armour and helmets?
 
Tory after Tory...

Johnson
Hancock
Gove
Raab
Patel....

....utterly clueless.

No leadership, no plan, blame the people on the frontline.

Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail.

And the deaths mount.

Turkey offering us aid....'KIN TURKEY!

You despicable shower of scum.

Don‘t worry, Boris will soon return and sort them all out.....
 
There is absolutley no room for mirth on this subject.

That murderer has lost any claim to be 'entertaining' a long time ago. And it ill becomes anyone still using him as a means for "mirth" at this tragic time too.

People might also say that now is not really the time to be trying to call a PM in hospital a murderer, nor denigrating the efforts of the country merely to score political points at this tragic time.....
 
Today I've seen Matt Hancock acting like a dodgy insurance broker going through the small print, trying to weasel his way out of the PPE debacle by saying he was trying to find out if the dead NHS staff actually got it in their place of work. Yeah right Matt. Spend your days and nights looking after people with a terrifying infectious virus without adequate PPE or catch said virus in Tesco. Tough question. They blamed the football fans at Hillsborough. They blamed the firefighters at Grenfell. The narrative will change, they will blame the doctors and nurses for this. It is quite frankly a disgrace.

Sorry but now is exactly the time to be making political points...I would not go as far as to call the inept excuse for a PM a murderer, but his parties policies have led to us being totally unprepared to cope with this situation. The useless excuses for ministers are trotted out day after day with absolutely no competence to answer even tame questions from the "media". Scoring political points eh? You of all people should know that every decision made by all governments and their big business masters affects us all. So when should we stop complaining then? "Now is not the time" is not an argument.

Well said @anjelikaferrett ....nail on head !
 
I have cut Trump a lot of slack in what he's said and how he's behaved in his time in office, because he speaks his mind and shoots from the hip, which is a rare quality in most politicians.

However, his behaviour during this crisis has been utterly astonishing. Picking fights with journalists, bullying private companies to bail him out, and referring to the virus by such an inciteful term.

Its obnoxious and disgraceful, not befitting of a salesman, never mind a statesman.

whatever you may think of our current government, at least they conduct themselves with decorum and respect.
His behaviour has not been astonishing, it has been typical of the scumbag since day one. He is not worthy of the oxygen wasted keeping the pig alive.
 
Priti Patel is in for a hard time now from the media and the average Joe on the street they influence. That's a couple of fumbles now and today's slip up with figures, whilst a little silly but not the biggest mistake will see her absolutely buried just like Abbott was.

I mean that's definitely going to happen with our media, right? Right?

100%
Also can you imagine the vitriol a labour government would (rightly) be getting if we’d taken exactly the same path.
When all this is settled there’ll be a meaningless and lengthy enquiry, whereby certain individuals will be heavily criticised but no further action will be taken.
Then they’ll bring out the ‘all in this together’ mantra, meaning the lower echelons of society get absolutely shafted again.
Very dangerous times and our politicians must be held accountable every step of the way.
