You can only kill somebody once - that is the only statistic that matters, it doesn't really matter how you do it. Once you identify why you are killing them, then you should take all sensible and reasonable steps to stop killing them.

Bodgit and his "Vote Leave Yes Men/Women Cabinet" have failed to do that by any measure and continue to do so.

Selecting your Cabinet by aptitude when you've an 80 seat majority is generally not going to make much of a difference, as you can blast any old bullsh!t through Parliament, but there might at least be one of them with more than two braincells between their ears to say - "hold on a minute guv - your a f'in barmpot for going that way". As for the stuff they get away with "under special measures" that Parliament doesn't even get a say on .....

You do realise, you now can't organise a protest march under any reason what-so-ever? Never put to the vote - just slid under the door when you were taking the bairns to school. Previously it was OK if "Risk Assessed", now they can clap you in irons for it.

So if you are going to Derbyshire for a quiet walk up in The Peaks and a take-away-coffee with your best mate - don't turn up with any placards or flags - and don't put it on Faceache or Twatter before hand. You don't want that Yankee dickhead Trump turning up before he goes and plays golf on one of his closed golf courses.

I reckon the current Cabinet are at least 6 braincells below the actual body count to be honest, I'm still a few short of the full list too. Far too many are sharing the same brain cell, and I don't mean one between two of them.

There is another factor to add to the damning COVID stats in England and that covers the absence of lotsa European nurses. I picked up this info from a letter by a retired SRN that highlighted the fact that Johnson and his ministers ignored this "nurses' absence due to Brexit" as they fail to get a grip on this pandemic. During the run-up to Brexit, European nurses were "encouraged" to go back home by threat of having their registration to work in this country revoked after Britain left the EU.  Now we are being told by NHS leaders that the current crisis is greatly exacerbated by a shortage of qualified nursing staff.
This inconvenient truth is never mentioned by Johnson, Hancock or Patel and others as they stumble from one botch up to the next. BUT HEY, IT WAS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE EH!!

Mentioned that a few pages back 0762 - you just put a bit more flesh on the bones and is why the Nightingale Wards were a waste of money and just a billy-big-bollox thing to deflect the bad news away from the clowns in Downing Street for a few days. Money that should and could have been better spent elsewhere, but as long as Local Councils and the NHS don't get their hands on it when they need it most .....
