Starmer looks a lot more competent than Bojo.

 At least the previous,  Silent labour socialist leader , um i forget his name ..

Who, will be remembered , for times spent in his allotment, on the compost heap, where he excelled .

   Wearing the uniform of True Socialists',, the Donkey Jacket ...

   Starmer , that is a tough act to follow ..

   No , offence to to the Donkey , intended ..

The problem is the management structure within the NHS and their procurement department always opting for the highest bidder. Easy to do when it's not your money or that of your employer.  

 

     Typical , of the Civil service .

Not accountable , to the UK taxpayers .

       Privatise , asap , and freeze their pensions ..

 So , can we take the big if , as being factually  accurate .?

The 'big if' was a quote - by Vallance not Whitty as I originally stated - hence the "" so, yes with this correction, factually correct.

And that's what's known as an opinion, rather than a statement of fact.

Annual winter flu season is on its way, so no reason to expect that infections will not increase over the coming months. The issue is, what can they do better this time around as their first attempt was an abject failure.

This is pertinent for all Northern Hemisphere countries bar perhaps Sweden who will have a large portion of the population with herd immunity. They might get off lightly this time around. 

When I read articles like this, it makes me laugh at those who say, "open the doors, it is just like the flu". 

The deniers point to places that have managed it well and say, "see, it is no problem". 

Ignoring the great work that made it happen. 

In light of the knowledge gained, treatment options which can target symptoms, I am not sure why it is so rampant in the UK?
