The COVID enquiry

The nonsense about ‘herd immunity”; the callous and incompetent response to the pandemic that led to many avoidable deaths amongst the frail and the elderly, and the indifference of a Prime Minister who most of the time seemingly let Dominic Cummings, his Rasputin-like aide, steer the ship of state. It’s all coming out in the COVID inquiry. None of this should surprise us. Johnson’s despicable conduct, and that of his henchmen, showed how totally unfit all of them were for high office.

Johnson counts for nothing in the political arena now. Crawling to the Trump crowd in the USA and grand-standing amongst the Ukrainians is all that Johnson’s got left these days. Johnson is fortunately gone. Sunak will hopefully soon follow.
