I think Cummins has informed us what we really already suspected anyway. There are other culprits of course, namely the opposition labour party's complete inability to do anything else but support the government, and the media's concoction of implausible reasons for every Johnson cock-up. 'Boris Johnson's Covid Churchill Moment' springs to mind.

As I see it - politics aside - the PM and his Ministers are not responsible for 30 odd years of cut backs by successive Governments. They have done a bit of course but from Blair through Cameron beds have been slashed as much as investment in infrastructure. They all think short term to get re-elected and it is not in the best interests of the country. The constant of course is the generally useless - but not always - Civil Service who are meant to run everything behind the scenes but regularly fail to do so. PPE was hardly Hancock's fault. The fact it wasn't there is the prick who didn't order its fault. Whoever was in charge would have been hamstrung by previous mistakes and some very poor employees in my opinion. Did Boris get stuff wrong - bloody right he did - but I defy anyone without the benefit of hindsight to have got it right. It is really easy to throw brickbats after the event and DC looks a complete arse in my eyes. Bile and vitriol being the order of the day.

Just throwing your hands in the air and saying it made no difference how things were led is total nonsense. If you lead an organisation you make an enormous difference. Our organisation kept COVID out until the final knockings. Our residents were vaccinated just before they died. They needed a couple more weeks, then they would have lived. The lack of a firebreak is what killed them. Look back at what opposition parties were saying at that time. So where was your ppe then maple. Did you have a pandemic plan? It's a bit rich blaming hmg when you failed with your very own preparedness.

Originally posted by CrazyBadger he Labour Government of 2003 should have created the pandemic policy after the first SARS outbreak Then, should they not? a tad unfair to point fingers at the current incumbents for not having The foresight to create a pandemic policy for that. I'm also not commenting on how badly or well it was managed, more that people are quick to find blame and slow on praise for the efforts that people have made. It's very easy to say that someone could have done better. Who's to say that they could have done given the same decisions in the same circumstances. Your wasting your time mate. The anti boris brigade want to feast and now have three courses. I'm going to look back at the Cummins thread and I can guarantee every one of them slated him and his lies back then. Now it appears he's a latter day Saint.

And I’ve heard recently they do t accept perfectly good crutches back after the outpatient has recovered. This kind of sh1t would either never be allowed in the private sector, or the company would go out of business, but it’s fine in the eyes of many public sector career professionals. COYP

Too big to fail, too big to be efficient. It's all the layers of management which is the issue. Many not even involved with actual patient care. Then because change is discussed they throw their toys around. I think big bollocks are needed to tackle the NHS and I wonder if boris has a pair big enough.

WTF are you on about? We never ran out of PPE. Despite being told that Local Authorities would provide, which largely they did not. We run four homes only. Yet I did indeed write a management plan which I update every month. The plan predates the first lockdown. Edited by Mapletree (27 May 2021 11.08pm)
