My Mrs works as a nurse at UHCW, from things she tells me you shouldn't underestimate the poor decisions that get made by senior management. Of course you could argue that ultimately this all leads back to the Government, but these managers do need to take some responsibility. Again from what she tells me there was a real reluctance to test people, now whether this was down to a lack of testing availability or wanting to keep the numbers down, and people out of the Covid wards, I don't know. Maybe a mixture of everything.

Ah ha , Good points. If nobody is tested we will never know how many have got it..

General Question...if you were a local authority at the start of a pandemic what would you do first?

It’s all a bit academic now but I’m interested to know if anyone had a plan in mind at the start of this.

Although not a local thing the first move should have been to close the airports to incoming people until testing was ready, plus any British nationals returning straight into quarantine.

Yep that's indefensible. The evidence is there in black and white that the care home crisis is on the government and no one else.

Grendel and Dom can't still think the government is doing a good job, can they?

It gets worse by the day, as more and more details come out.

We all knew it was bad, but I don't think any of us thought it was this bad.

Living in your head rent free

A phrase used exclusively by weirdos and 15 year olds

So do you still think they're doing a good job or not?

Do you accept they are to blame for the care home crisis?

Normal people will be way down the list MPs and their families will be right at the top, followed by celebrities.

You've posted this bollocks on numerous occasions.
In the mean time we have the second most deaths in the world and second most deaths among health workers.

I think that's the same test I read about previously so if it's getting widespread approval that feels like at least a shuffle forward if not a huge step. Considering some minister said the other month they'd have tests ready to order from pharmacies and Amazon within weeks though I'm not getting too excited until they're widely available (if they ever are)

The stark reality is that the Tories were prepared to allow 600k people to die and it was the basis of their strategy. You can't help but think we'll get to somewhere around 25% of that.

Still no one could have seen this coming Ministers were warned two years ago of care homes' exposure to pandemics

It's also pretty shoddy that the government promised local authorities all the funding they needed to deal with the pandemic but now seem to be backing out of it leaving billions of black holes in council budgets

Every crisis is an opportunity for these scumbags, they leveraged the "blame the labour run councils" heavily in the last election and it worked

I edited it to sued.

Her and a couple of other tories have posted a doctored video of him supposedly blaming victims of grooming for the crimes against them.

It was heavily edited and the original freely available interview shows he was talking about historical issues and how he wanted to fix them.

Maria Caulfield another tory mp who was touting the fake video realised the folly of libelling a QC and deleted her whole twitter account.

In a general sense, I have to say the response of my local authority has been very good. Ultimately they're guided by national government so are limited in what they can do, but their general response has been professional and considerate.

She’s deleted it now, Lucy Allan still has it up. Just shocking fake news TBH not even a good attempt.

For those that don’t know they’ve taken a video of Starmer listing *incorrect assumptions about rape victims that have changed since Rotherham* and cuts off the bit at the start and end of him saying they are incorrect and changed to make it look like he’s saying these are things he believes.

It’s like that Simpsons episode where Homer is accused of pinching that girls arse level of fake news. Or like posting a Cassetteboy video of proof something Johnson said.

New low here.
People been arrested for criticizing on Facebook the Govt handling of situation and/or querying data released by Govt (under new powers Govt gave themelves in March). Some of it fairly innocuous.

I don't know much about this Dorries individual or her past, but her twitter account is particularly shite, misleading and full of lies.

Dark days if people think they can edit videos to tell blatant lies- the Tories truly are the "fake news" party nowadays
