Uk lockdown - Page 3

Don't believe everything you read or hear in the press/TV. A massive amount of money is wasted. My partner works in the NHS for 30 year's and see's only to well what goes on. Too many vanity projects. Many come to nothing, with big contracts to business like Price Waterhouse Cooper for example earning ££££££'s

Social care is something she is working on at the moment. A big factor is the vast majority of care homes are private.  Under the law the government cannot give out money to Private business. They can't fund them as they don't with the steel industry for instance. Some money does go via Councils for residents that can't fund themselves, but not actually the full cost is covered by the council. The bulk of the money comes from self- funders, people who pay for their care in full, thats why care costs are so high because the high cost helps to suppliment others that have no money or homes to sell. That is how it works. Many care homes are now large business's, Quantum care and many others. As a business they want to make profits.  This is a big problem. Just like the car tax that was supposed to be for repairing the road network, the increase in NI will just go into the pot of the exchequer. The government has its eye on the prize of making the NHS so bad that it cannot cope and it will say its just not working and then it will be privatised to a large extent. Its already happening but under the radar. Try to find an NHS dentist, you'll be very lucky to find any that will take you on. Eye tests paid for, unless your a child, on benefits or old. My neighbour needed her ears cleaning as she was having trouble hearing, she was told at the doctors, they didn't do that anymore, not even the nurse could do it and was given the number of a clinic, who was only to happy to do it for £50. If you think the NI hike will be ring-fenced for either it won't be.

I always say if those that are supposed to be running the country were to go for an interview for such a postion, they wouldn't even get an interview.

Does it not make you cringe when the PM of this country uses childish insults such as Captain Hindsight in parliament during something as serious as a pandemic while the UK has recorded more deaths than any other country in Europe? Before Christmas last year, Starmer opposed opening up for Christmas and Johnson was accusing him of trying to cancel Christmas, shortly after that Johnson U turned with no mention of Starmer's foresight.

Spain doesn't have quarantine hotels. Deemed illegal according to human rights law.

Where are the dignified, honest politicians that look at the whole picture, not just what benefits them?

What has Starter done that's dishonest? He's backed the lockdown rather than play politics, he can't do right for doing wrong.

Give me a leader who's been knighted for his service to law and criminal justice over one sacked twice for lying anytime.

Starter, as u call him is completely useless, Captain Hindsight very appropriate, whilst people point the finger at Boris and the way he lead the UK through the most difficult period in our history since maybe world war 2, there is nothing in the opposing bench's that u can say yeah that man or women stands out and would be brilliant and have lead the country far better, Labour lose John Smith sadly to soon, who was a brilliant parliamentarian, but since then nothing, Labour front and back bench's, come on embarrassing, not addressed Anti semiminsum, have Raynor in a senior position who regards people who vote Conservative Scum...it is what it is, and decisions were made, be it wrong or right but they had to make decisions quickly, like the famous quote in Zulu, private to Colour Sergeant, why us Sergeant because we are here and nobody else... 

Starter was an autocorrect as you probably realised, can you give me a couple of examples of his hindsight? Last year he said we shouldn't open up for Christmas and Johnson accused him of trying to cancel Christmas, Johnson then U turned and cancelled christmas, hardly hindsight there. Johnson has lied his way to the top and he's overseen masive corruption, while tory donors have become fabulously wealthy at the expense of the tax payer, he's willing to go back on a deal he signed with the EU in good faith and tries blaming them for it.

I don't agree with Raynor's language but she speaks from the heart and when you see last week's attempt to get their cheating mate off when he was caught out and reading that MP Geoffry Cox has earned £900k while working in the Cayman Islands when he should be representing his constituents, I don't think she's too far off the mark even if her language was less than parliamentary, this is the worst government in my lifetime, driven by the self serving ideology of the ERG, we've lost freedoms so they can keep their tax evading chums away from scrutiny. Decent tories like Rory Stewart, Anna Soubrey and Ken Clarke all shown the door because they wouldn't get behind brexit, a party where there's no room for alternative views is very worrying.

Some people  cant see wood for the trees ,it does nobody any good to have a useless  PM ,who is up to his neck in muck ,I'm no fan of Keir Starmer  ,and I do think that at this time party politics should be put aside 

Oh dear the labourites seem to be all upset, let's pray to to her holiness Ms Abbott... 😉 😁 😃 🤩 🤓 

When the argument is lost wheel out Diane Abbott, tory whataboutery at its finest.
