Usually fuming about one thing or another but occasionally deflates into a fluffy pancake. 英国ど田舎在住のはまっこです🐾 #Wülferhampton

Hard to see Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa and Sade as ‘British only’ — and Lennon and McCartney sons of Irish immigrants GB News’ arid idea of Britpop would exclude George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Cliff Richard… The list is long. This diversity IS the heart of our vibrant culture

This is damning. So much could could have been done at the time, with what was known about COVID, and with what what resources we had. It’s hard not to read callous neglect into these findings. And that intentional neglect was layered with lies - like the “protective ring” - which did not exist.

The Inquiry’s overarching judgement is that fragmented responsibility, ignored warnings, poor data and inadequate planning created conditions in which Covid could spread “like wildfire”. Social care’s neglect was longstanding. During the pandemic, its consequences became catastrophic.

We still live Covid conscious. We shield in all indoor spaces. We're vaccinated, have no visitors, don't eat inside restaurants. We have gone to a few, strictly outdoors markets recently. I have just tested positive for Covid. Be careful. There are too many now who are infected & still mingle.

I remember being in London, a few years ago, at a "drinks do" surrounded by journalists and the "well connected". I said to one now-high profile journalist, I thought Brexit was a Russian intelligence coup using social media against us. They made excuses and got away from me like I was a lunatic.
